Removing the fan cover
  • At this stage, the first front panel and acrylic window can be removed, as well as the heatsink if you removed the four back screws.

  • To continue, remove the four circled PH0 screws circled in red.

  • Afterward, remove the two 2.5 Hex screws on the front of the card circled in blue.

  • Carefully lift the fan cover and remove the JST connector (connector with two wires coming from it) by gently wiggling it out of the socket.

  • Lastly, remove the final two PH0 screws circled in orange.

  • Be sure to separate all of these screws when you set them aside!
