Welcome to HowFixit, in this video tutorial I will show you how to
replace a fan on a GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition graphics video card.
To disassemble GeForce RTX 3070 you will need next tools:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Torx T5, Torx T6 and Torx T8
Tweezers Plastic opening tool
Also I recommend using a magnetic mat in repair process and laying out each screw step-by-step,
which is especially useful in disassembly process. The screws can be of different sizes
and when reassembling, it is very important to fasten screws into right place. In the
description, I left links where to buy all the necessary repair tools.
Press on these metal holders and the metal frame is removed from the heatsink.
This ribbon cable is glued to the heatsink, be careful,
use a not sharp plastic tool when peeling it off.
You can find a new compatible fan for GeForce RTX
3070 Founders Edition video card using this part number DAPC0815B2UP005. Also in the description
under the video I left a link where you can buy new fan for this graphics card.
On this step repair is complete, I hope this video was useful to you and see you
on HowFixit.
