Thank you guys. When I spread the thermal paste (MX-4) which is non-conductive, quite a drop fell on the little resistors (I think?) around the die. I know it's not conductive, but could it still cause issues somehow?

I bought Thermalright Odyssey thermal pads (1.0mm) for my old R9 290. I found an old post from this forum with this image: Now I noticed some are more than 1mm, but I still used 1mm for all of the chips The PC boots and displays everything and I can play in BIOS without issues. But as soon as Windows boots, it crashes. Black screen. The screen doesn't turn off, it just turns black (still illuminated). If it works without issues on BIOS - why does it crash with Windows? Or, in BIOS it doesn't require too much energy and doesn't get heated and as soon as Windows loads it heats too much and shuts down (because I did something wrong - VRM pads / Memory pads / thermal paste? The problem is I can't get into Windows to check temps

thanks, I will get the B-7000!

I had to change battery on the phone so I had to peel off the adhesive. But now I need to apply a new one because it won't stick back What adhesive should i get? It does not seem to be double-sided, Thanks!

Update: The NVMe is dead, replacement on the way

I flashed 3.5 version, didn't help. I just noticed they wrote there it's not possible to downgrade BIOS, so how did it work? Did I damage anything? Oh didn't know about NVME. Although it's been long time and my NVME is not recognized. Wonder if it's dead

Lately I've been getting many BSODs with "WHEA uncorrectable error" Now motherboard won't recognize the NVME in BIOS at all. The specs are: ASRock B450m-Pro4 Ryzen 3 2200g GTX 1060 6GB 2x4GB RAM (Ballistix LT Sport 2666Mhz) Samsung 970 Evo NVME SSD Is the Samsung NVME dead? Motherboard connector? Because I don't have other motherboard with nvme or other nvme

I saw that Ryzen CPUs unofficially support ECC ram. But I couldn't post my Ryzen 3 2200g with an ECC REG RAM I got. So not all Ryzen support it? Or they support ECC and not REG? Ty

I need new pads for an old GPU. The thermal pads on the VRMs look and feel different than the ones on the memory modules. So I wonder if their thermal conductivity is higher than the pads on the memory? And will the Arctic 6 W/mK pads be enough? Or I should get the mod/smart 11 or even 17 W/mK pads? What is the average temperature difference between using the 6 W/mK or the higher 11/17 ones? Thanks

Yep, and the second time I opened it the thermal pads disintegrated

I disassembled the R9 290 (again), this time I wanted to check the thickness of the thermal pads to get new ones. The pads on the memory modules are different than the pads on the VRMs. The ones on the memory modules are yellow colored, soft and spongy (And they actually seem to be still good), whereas the pads on the VRMs are grey (thermal paste like color), crumbling, not spongy (piece of it broke when i was trying to lift it). I just wonder if I can simply replace all pads to the same type, for example Arctic thermal pads, just with different thickness (the VRM pads are 1mm and the memory ones are 1.5mm) Or, this grey crumbling VRM pad is a special thing and not a regular pad?

On Furmark VRM1 was showing about 80C and VRM2 was 70C, the GPU core temp was maxed at 93 limit, but I heard that's how reference r9 290 perform

My old stock cooler R9 290 was overheating, so not too long ago I disassembled it to replace the thermal paste. It was dry and crumbling (I applied MX-4). Also the thermal pads on the VRMs and memory were crumbling. But all I did was replace the thermal paste on the die and assembled it back Then I ran Furmark and it seemed to be OK, less heating and even the VRM sensors showed no over heating But very soon my motherboard died, and only now after a few months I got the replacement. Now I am getting artifacts and frequently the screen gets stuck, turns black and then turns on again, and AMD software tells me that the driver crashed. I tried to install older drivers, all with same results Could it be that I damaged some components in the card, enough to make the card work, but with many problems? Is there a way to isolate the issue? I ordered new thermal pads just in case (haven't arrived yet) I also wonder if although it's not overheating, it reaches its thermal maximum temp very fast and throttling? So actually Furmark is not enough to test whether the thermal paste replacement was successful. Please advice me how to properly test what's going on Thanks!

Update: Found a nice store in AliExpress, they seem to make decent telephoto lens and telescopes, with high scored reviews, it's called Apexel, has anyone heard of it? Customers' images on the reviews look very nice
