Hello, I bought my FTW2 back in 2017 and have never replaced the thermal paste. Recently over the last couple of months I have noticed higher idle temps around ~50C (not terrible I know) but I know the card previously had temps around the high 30s at idle. I have had the card now for about 5 years and so I figured it was about time I open it up replace the thermal paste. Unfortunately I'm unable to find a guide on how to open the card up. I have never disassembled the card before so was wondering if anyone have any tips or instructions to help? The stickied guide does not seem to be all too helpful in my case as my card has an ICX cooler vs ACX in the guide. I took all the screws off the backplate but I notice that there are these spring screws (pics attached) and am unable to take them off. It seems to be able to reach them I would have to disassemble the front assembly as well but I figured I would ask before getting too risky with things.
EDIT: Sorry first time posting here so it seems like I cannot post a url or pics.
