Need to replace fan in the GPU

Question

Geforce GTX 280

The GeForce GTX 280 was a high-end graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on June 16th, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the GT200 graphics processor, in its G200-300-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles.

Need to replace fan in the GPU

I'm trying to remove the fan in my 280 but I can't get the big metal heatsink out because of small screws which every screwdriver I have isn't compatible, What screwdriver do I use?

Hi @stolas,

Post some clear, close up images of the screw heads.

Maybe someone can identify the type/size of driver needed
