Hes wants to do this
"bEcAUsE HIs frienDS are DoING IT."
Theres litterally no reason for doing that to a card that NEW . Thats a fucking 2017 1080ti Strix card of all things ...that was made not even 5 months ago from factory . Chances are if you pop that sob open you'll break it and be out $700-$800 cuz you decided to be like your friends lol.
Just make sure you have a screw driver that matches the screw size so you don't strip any screws. Otherwise it should be pretty straight forward, the card isn't as delicate as you may think
