Generally speaking theres either a screw holding the cover in or in the cheaper cases you just bend the cover off. If its the cheaper kind you should be able to wiggle the cover until the metal connections at the ends snap off.

ahh yeah sorry im very very wary of making threads with such little content even for tech support, so i made it a blog. however i do have another quick question!

So the card has a fan on the top of it but when i check on speedfan its been at 0rpm, does it only turn on when it reaches a certain temperature or is something wrong?

Can you hear it?

It's definitely not at 0rpm, so it's probably not being picked up by speedfan.

GPU fans always spin regardless of temperature. Better to check with MSI Afterburner ( http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm )

If your temperatures are hot (80C+ during gaming / load) and the fan really isn't spinning (verify with visual inspection) than you need to return it for a new one.
