I have a MSI GF4 TI4200 graphics card that I am trying to decide if I want to install a waterblock on or not. I have the block, I am just determining if it is worth the trouble. As of now, I don't overclock my graphics card, I may in the future, but I don't really play many graphics intensive games. That could change when I get to college though, I don't know. Here is what the heatsink and fan they have on it now looks like.

How hard would it be to get that thing off and is it worth watercooling it? Would either the freezer or blowdryer trick work for this, and if so which one should I use? I just want to find out if the chance of me watercooling is worth installing that block. If not I will either hold on to that block in case I get into it, or most likely sell it either here or on Ebay. I have a couple other items which I need to sell anyway. Please let me know, thanks!
