I am really pissed about a few things, the way things work in some country's. In the US, you can get the 480 for 200 dollars and as AMD said, they want it to be like this for everyone. They want more people to get their hands on a card that can support VR for ''under 200 dollars'' So, here's the joke.. I live in Estonia and the monthly average wage is around 1000 euros and the RX 480 costs 350 euros! That is almost 400 dollars! What the hell?! And what makes this joke a ''jerry'', our neighbor Finland has the same price on graphics cards but more than twice the income per month!!! How is this even possible?

Thanks, good luck

With LED attached underneath the backplate

Thanks, I already bought and small LED strip to attach underneath it Il upload pictures as soon i'l get it working.

Yes, there are 5 or even 6 unused holes on the PCB

Aaand, it's finished

Finished painting the thing, tomorrow I will install it

So, recently I did a PSU shroud/cover for my Define R5 and as that turned out great, I thought.. why not try something more badass, handmade GPU backplate. First of all, I just sat and did some sketches in Paint and Photoshop to see how my backplate could look like. So there I was, 3 A.M .. sketching, knowing that I've got school the other morning Finally got it done and I was pretty happy with the idea itself. So off I go.. to work. Taking a big metal plate, cutting it into the right size, first of all, the holes.. oh god, the holes. It took me 3 plates to actually get the holes to match. As I got the holes done I drew the cutout lines, cut them with plasma cutter and filed the rest of it, also used a metal saw for the sharp corners inside. With the plate done, did some sanding for the ''first look'' and went to get the screws and nuts to fit the GPU holes. Got back, attached it (NB! Had to take the cooler off to mount the backplate) and saw the result, I am already really happy.. although, some modifications have to be made due to the motherboard. I'm hoping to get it painted this week, I'l keep you guys updated . . . Oh yeah, by the way,, I might attach blue LED's under the '' R '' looking shape

It is not the paste and it is not the pump. Changed the paste a month ago and the pump is as it's always been.

So, my story is this.. Bought the 8320 2-3 years ago. Used Evo 212X for 2 years, now the ongoing 3rd year I've been using H110i GT on a 970A-UD3 motherboard. I feel like the temperatures on my CPU are rising overtime, I see people rocking 4.5GHz with an air cooler and I am having trouble with the watercooling. I know this is a terrible motherboard to overclock with but 'bear' with me, I've never really let the CPU temperatures go above 60c for longer periods of time. Right now I'm running 4.6GHz with 1.32v and I am getting around 55c when rendering a video, which I think is really the worst case scenario for the CPU. I remember running 4.5 and such with the Evo 212X 2 years ago with temperatures being really nice. ' So my question is, what could be wrong here? The CPU, something to do with degradation or the motherboard and it's VRM? Cause when I clock to around 4.7 then after doing Prime, the CPU downclocks but with the temperatures being fine.

Um, you could do just like I did, just leave more space to the HDD tray, I left some space for the watercooler but you would need more than that. As i've got SSD in the back and HDD under the cover. Or, make screw holes for the HDD on top of the cover.

Yup, equipment.. that I do. But if you could find a local metal workshop somewhere, I'm sure they can think of something or even let you work on it.

So, I decided to ditch my ghetto cardboard (painted black ) psu cover and make proper one. First I pictured how it could look like, then I started to paint down some sketches and a day later found myself with work clothes, gloves and goggles. Marked up and cut pieces out to form the thing I need, then I just bent it on a bench. Constantly testing with my PC if everything lines up the way I need it and it did go quite smoothly. The GPU cable hole was cut with a plasma cutter, filed it and went over with the paper. Painted it matte black to match the R5 and it's like 1:1. The cover attaches to the rear slot. Overall, I am really happy with it, turned out nearly perfect.

I have a question about the H110i GT .. the AMD installation, why didn't they make a custom bracket? do I really have to use the original that comes with stock cooling? -
Well, i got to do some testing now and it seems at 4.7 is stable with 1.35v in the bios, cpuz shows fluctuation between 1.34-1.36. With stock 1.3v i got 4.5ghz stable from first few short tests. From this point on i'm going to need something better than my 212X Evo, Temperatures would have risen higher for sure, also..what bothers is that in tests the frequency clocks down..but if i remember correctly..when rendering a video in Sony Vegas it was using all cores at full speed, weird.
