Hey guys. I am trying to install the 'Accelero Xtreme III' gpu cooler on my HD 5870 gpu, and I am stuck on the installation guide #4 which says:
#4 Apply the insulation tape onto the 'circuit components' in order to prevent short circuit caused by RAM and VR heatsink interference.
Now, my only problem here is the 'circuit components' because i do not know where those are on the 5870 pcb. The gpu on the illustration guide is showing a different card (which i believe is a gtx 680). That is why I am a bit confused and cannot locate where the 'circuit components' are.
I have found a layout of the hd 5870 online. If anyone could kindly draw lines to where the circuit components are, i would be very grateful.
Here is the link to the 5870 layout:

I hope someone can help me out. And thank you for your time.
