Gigabyte GTX 1660 fan replacement - please help!

[bdk74]

Hi,

Anybody knows how to remove the top plastic cover to replace the fans on the gigabyte gtx windforce edition? I can't find anything online. I don't want to touch the heatsink and mess with the thermal paste UNLESS its required?

 

Model: GTX 1660 GV-N1660OC-6GD

 

Thank you in advance for any advise.

I don't have this card in hand, but looking at the pictures on like, there are screws that hold the shroud to the heatsink tat you can reach without pulling the heatsink off the card.

I would go slow, remember where everything came from and take it apart. 

You won't break anything unless you lose a screw down inside the card or something like that.

Good luck finding a replacement fan though...
