I bought myself an Arctic NV5 (rev3) for my 7800GT, everything seems pretty straight forward, but i need advice on how to remove the thermal paste from my 7800GT, and what tools are best for the job.
Its my first time doing something like this, and I really dont want to damage the card.
Thanks.

. When I did my 7800GT I used the same process as I do with processors. Kitchen roll, Q-Tips (cotton buds) and a can of Isopropyl Alcohol I got from Maplins. Isopropyl Alcohol is much better than nail polish remover as it doesn't leave any residue and totally evaporates (it's also normally a component of what Nail Polish remover is made up of anyways). Just use a squirt of Isopropyl Alcohol on the core, remove the bulk of the thermal paste with the kitchen roll and finish up using the Q-Tips and more Isopropyl Alcohol.
