Help getting screw out!

[OLDPHART]

Haha I was gonna say that; righty tighty, lefty loosey.

Also when unscrewing it's always worth just turning each screw a tiny bit to loosen them up, sometimes leaving just one screw in makes it lock into the thread more and is a nightmare to get out.

Thats a good tip from rounddoger, yes because by taking the screws out the pcb will lift slightly putting that extra bit pressure on that screw.

So I was about to head into town today but decided that I'd have a go at it with my hand held drill before I did, and it worked! I've put my loop back together GPU included, and now I'm trying to max out the oc on my gtx 470. Happy Days!

Currently got it sitting at 1.087v
Core: 850
Shader: 1700
Mem: 1674

Max temps of 57*C when using Kombustor

I'm glad you got it sorted.

There always seems to be 1 screw that is the problem, I have rounded them before too, very easy to do. Drilling them has worked
