Question (Help) cant take apart palit rtx 2060 super

[Josh2245]

I have got a palit rtx 2060 super, and it seems impossible to take it apart

 

[Josh2245]

Has anyone got a video with helping take it apart?

Tried simply blowing the dust out first?

Yep, has only made a few degrees difference. I suspect it is thermal paste/pads both fans work,

It happen that some thermal pads and thermal pastes after being under high temperatures, on cooling off harden like epoxy. And came off from board together with chips and anything else what is "glued" below them. There was photos with AMD video card broken in such way, can't find at the moment. OP, do not try to pull radiator and circuit board apart with force. You will damage your board beyond repair. What you must do - heat radiator with hot air to 60-70C and then very carefully wiggle it away. DO NOT TEAR IT WITH FORCE. If radiator won't budge, try to find what is holding it. Forgotten screw or something. Obviously use gloves to avoid burning your hands.

Also before radiator removal get replacement thermal pads. One who are between radiator and RAM chips. Most likely you will need them.
