What Did I Do?:

To prep the 290x for VRAM, VRM and Processor cooling, I stripped it down. This is an MSI reference PCB card. It came with a stock cooler but unfortunately I cannot show you the removal of the cooler as it's already done but OC3D have a Corsair HG10 review where you can see it step by step. So, moving on, Here are some images of the nude card. Note I have also removed the PCIe cover because this card is being used in my current custom case. You can see the progress of this build in my other blog "Smokey Attempts: PC In A Drawer". I am also storing this card in it's original anti-static packaging, so don't worry to much about that one.

Thank You :)
