Deteriorating fan noise on my graphics card has led to cleaning, then exploratory surgery, followed by organ transplant of the graphics card cooler. Surgery as follows: stick flathead between cooler and old debit card placed underneath the fan, and twist, popping off the thermal-glued cooler from the GPU. Use tweezers to detach old fan pesky end to the old power cord from the video card. Nurse, 10 CCs of acetone and a swap and scalpel to shave off the old thermal glue from the chip. After GPU is cleaned, added thin layer of new thermal goo and spread. Place new cooler on chip & pop pins in holes. Place new RAM heat sinks on with double sided tape. Plug to power supply. Surgery a complete success.

Well, it looks like I won't be getting this feed syndicated anytime soon using Blogger. According to a recent announcement, Blogger Pro won't be offered any longer :(
