Hi, for the school I kindly offered to show the ICT class how RAM and a GPU looks like, do I need to know any precautions or something I need to know when removing/ puting it back together the RAM and The GPU? + the drivers for the video card will be lost?

thanks

If you doing this to one of your personal card I recommend not doing it. Go to a local computer store and explain to them what you doing and that its for school. they may have broke or old gpu laying around that they will give you. For a first timer doing this it can be a little scary, once you have the heat sink off you will need to clean the card replace the tim and thermal pads and put the heat sink back on.
