Remove Your Stock Heatsink - Corsair HG10 Guide D'installation

HG10 – N980 Edition

1. Remove your stock heatsink

First, carefully uninstall your card's stock heat sink by
removing all of the screws on the bottom and bracket of the
card. Once the screws have been removed, gently lift the heat
sink away from the card and unplug the stock blower fan.
Remove all excess thermal tape still attached to the graphics
card and clean off any thermal paste remaining on the GPU
die.
We recommend using cotton balls, swabs, or pads with high
purity isopropyl alcohol when cleaning the thermal paste off
the die.
