I would like to remove the cooler of a graphics card and put it back on shortly after. If it was a CPU I could just re-apply the thermal paste and whack it back on, however I believe graphics cards use thermal tape on their RAM chips and other parts, what it the best way to put it back?
 
Never mind! I have just replaced the TIM on the GPU and as the thermal tape was not dirty I just popped it back! If it explodes in my face I will know to blame you lot for not responding!
 
I think a may have to on my 9800GTX though, never seen so much dust in my life! I only popped the cooler off, took some pictures and whacked it back on with this new graphics card. No dirt on it to get stuck to the tape.
