Thanks so much for joining. My vision is a community based on positive member interaction and helping each other. I believe that if we all work together toward this goal, we will have success in the long run.
We don't have official forum rules or anything like that yet, but as long as everyone is respectful of each other, and patient with the growing pains that we are going to experience (vBulletin 5 is VERY beta right now) we can make this into an AWESOME community forum.

I received this video card from RMA, noticed the temps were lame, so changing the paste was a must. I also decided to take pictures and share a "How To" :]
Let's start with the Before and After temperature screen shots. I ran Unigine Valley benchmark for 10 minutes during each test with a fixed GPU fan speed of 46% in a sealed case with under-volted case fans.
Before: clicky 73C
After: clicky 63C
10C lower core temperature :]
How To starts here...
Supplies: Cotten Swabs Coffee Filters 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Non-Conductive, Carbon Based TIM (DO NOT USE metal based TIMs unless you understand the risks.)
