I am wondering if all RTX 4090 heatsinks are the same cus I have a HP OEM RTX 4090 and I'm wondering if I can replace the heat sink for a msi suprimX or a rog strix or any other heatsink , is that possible?

I bought a second hand PNY GTX 980ti reference design, the card ran with no issues. I did notice in the early stages of use the reference cooler seemed that it couldn't handle the temperatures at that time i averaged 75°C to 85°C+. I made the decision to purchase the kraken G12 to solve this issue, as it did solve the gpu core temperatures after several weeks of used I encountered another issue random game crashes that eventually lead to my entire pc freezing. I did some research which lead me to suspect it was the memory, I tried using gpuz to get an accurate reading of the temperatures, i did not find any sensors that gives me a read out. I resorted to touching the memory from the backside of the pcb while at idle they felt very hot to touch so hot that a couple seconds of exposure would be painful. I then deicide to purchase vrm/memory heatsinks on amazon in the hope that it would solve my issue it did not I will provide pictures showing where I placed the heatsinks. I removed the gpu completely as I would like to avoid damaging it, any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks all. 20230707_105342.jpg

How about the back of the board? Could you place a heatsink there somewhere & it actually keep it cooler? Why doesn't motherboards lay on a size to fit heatsink within the case?

I have a B450 Aorus Pro and it has 2 nvme m.2 slots, both have heatsinks. I think of getting an ADATA GAMMIX S11 PRO and I was wondering if I should remove the motherboard heatsink if it doesn't fit since the nvme has it's own. What do you guys think? -
Hello Everyone, I do alot of video editing and recently noticed that my cpu temps go very high around 80-85 on heavy loads (Ryzen 3700x , Case - Deepcool Matrexx 55 mesh, 4 Led fans installed , 3 in front and 1 in back), I am on the stock cooler right now called wraith prism that comes with the processor and looking for a better cooling fan. Please suggest me , Should i go with water cooling or air cooling and why? My budget is 200 american usd Max.

What Did I do?: This is Avexir RAM that has had the heat sinks removed. To keep the ram cool inside my new custom case I have got some basic ally heat sinks. However, the yellow LEDs are not covered up which I thought would be a bad look but I'm not sure now. Once I've got everything in the case I will decide if I want to cover the LEDs with small pits of electrical tape. These are the only images that I managed to get due very bad camera support with my ROM. While I'm working on this, I don't plan on uploading images from this camera for much longer. I have some Nikon's around here somewhere that I will be switching to. Anyway, here are the pictures. Whats Next?: This weekend I have a build log in the pipeline for my main blog, Smokey's Chronicles. In addition to this, I have made some progress on the 290x red mod. This will likely be up tonight too but I've been delayed today. Nothing serious I just had to work late and then sort out this new build. Thank You :)

I'll be aio cooling my gpu with nzxt kraken g 12 and aio cooler which I have not chosen yet . Where do I place my vrm and vram heatsinks . Thanks

I started seeing ceramic heatsinks for Raspberry Pi. The little I could find about ceramic heatsinks indicate they might work well. They're also less expensive than nice copper heatsinks. I've got some vram that needs taming. (The R9 390 gets blisteringly hot.) Has anyone tried ceramic heatsinks, or knows something about them?

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I recently purchased a Gigabyte Windforce OC 11g 2080ti, and sadly it's cooling is a little lackluster (I have searched and searched, and came up with the same universal truth.. it's cooler sucks..) So I'm looking to change it's cooler, water cooling isn't an option as I am in a NZXT H1. Ideally, I'd like to get ahold of a heatsink from a Gigabyte Gaming OC 2080ti and its heatsink is similar to mine, just a fair bit thicker. Being it uses a reference PCB, I'm not opposed to using a heatsink from another brand either as long as it works better than the Windforce cooler. So my question is this, does anyone who may have upgraded to water cooling have a 2080ti heatsink they'd like to sell? Or can point me in the right direction to find one? Sadly eBays options are REALLY slim (a MSI Ventus which the shipping cost is the same as the cost of the cooler, a couple Strix OC 2080ti coolers but those use another PCB, a few blower heatsink (HELL NO!!) And a founders edition missing it's screws and backplate, so that doesn't do me any good.) Many thanks in advance for anyone that can help.. also the Artic cooler is too big (already looked at it.)

Okay, this may not be your everyday situation if you're handy. What ended up happening is as follows. I opened up my gtx1650 super, a ventus model from msi, and replaced the thermal paste. Next when i remounted the cooler it wasn't sitting straight. And i noticed one of the rubber cubes keeping the heatsink in place dropped. It was gone to the void. Is it okay to just remove the remaining 3 and screw the heatsink back in place? Current idea, replace the rubber by pieces of cardboard, the max temp of the gpu ever recorded was 83°C and if it starts smelling weird i'ill press alt+f4 In assumption the rubber is only needed to keep the heatsink from chipping the die and protect it from vibration (moving the pc).

Our last homemade heatsink was... terrible. But can we get it right this time? Buy a Hyper 212 Evo On Amazon: http://geni.us/rz63zzl On Newegg: http://geni.us/Eokusf

Hi so i have this sleeper system that i made, it has a phenom ii x6 1055t overclocked to 3.3ghz and i have the system in a HP Pavilion a1747c micro atx tower. the downside to this tower is when i play games the stock AMD fan would spin up to insane ass RPMs. when playing games the cpu hangs at 40c and the RPM on the AMD fan is at 6,000 RPM. i mean i have sound tolerance but at 6,000 RPM thats way too high for my comfort. so i was wondering if there is any good heatsinks out there that would get performance like the hyper 212 evo but is smaller than the evo and can fit in my case. at this rate if i bring my sleeper pc to a lan party people would mistake it as a server box.

First of all my gpu is the EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 ! So I would just like to know if increasing the gpu fan speed reduces the temperature of the heatsink? For example if I put my gpu fan speed from 30% to 50% while gaming, will that prevent the heatsink from heating up a lot fast? Keep in mind Im not talking about the GPU itself, but specifically the heatsink? Thank you very much! Keep being awesome ))) -
Hey world! Recently I have been planning out a mod for my pc and case. I have decided to go with a hot pink/ gun metal grey theme because I think that is quite rare and I like to be unique I will be painting: - Motherboard heatsinks - Ram heatsinks - Plastic fan rings (Corsair AF140) - Perhaps certain areas of the side panels These are the items I will be painting Hot pink. I was wondering if http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/rust-oleum-hot-pink---mode-spray-paint---400ml-125010 would be any good to withstand these conditions. I will be using Plasti-Dip for the gun metal grey, but I am not sure if the Rust Oleum can withstand these tempuratures. Thanks! Max

I need to remove my motherboard heatsinks so that I can mod them to match the color scheme of my build, I just can't figure out how to get the damn things off. They're the pushpin spring style of motherboard heatsinks and I don't know how to go about removing them.

I've never noticed that my chipset is running extremely hot untill i accidentaly touched the heatsink once , I couldn't lay my finger on it even for 1 second. Then i went around and looked all over hardware-forms if someone else had been running into this overheating problem and frankly someone did, he asked if he could do something about it no-one ever answered him. So as brave as i am can i replace my asrock 990fx heatsink with a aftermarket heatsink ? I've looked around a little bit could couldn't manage to find a decent looking / working one. My specs : MOBO: Asrock Fatal1ty 990fx Killer CPU: AMD FX 8230-Black edition (overclocked to 4.2 Ghz --> I want to push this even further but i need a new cooler on my chipset then i think) CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo Graphics Card: Sapphire Tri-x R9 290x RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast (2x8GB = 16GB) PSU: Coolermaster G750 M Case: Aerocool Xpredator X1 (Devil Edition) Fans: 2 front intake fans (CM jetflo 112), 1 bottom intake fan (stock) and 1 exhaust fan(CM jetflo 112) and ofcourse all the other fans included on the components right. I hope that someone can link me through to a decent heatsink for my 990fx chipset, If someone else ran across the same problem as i did please say so. Thanks in advance !! -
I'm asking this since I don't know if the cooler will fit on my LGA1150 motherboard, because of mb's heatsinks... I'd appreciate help. CPU Cooler: LEPA V12 Black Motherboard: MSI Z97-G43

Hi guys, I was gifted 8GB (2x4) of Corsair Vengeance but the huge heatsinks would not fit under mu cpu cooler. I removed them and have left the RAM naked. I have ordered small heatsinks from China but it will be a couple of weeks getting here. My question is, does it matter, does ddr3 get got running at stock speeds ? Are the heatsinks more for show than anything else and am I ok to leave them naked for a couple of weeks ? They seem to be running ok with my 2x4 Kingston HyperX but they have different voltages and timings. The Kingston uses 1.65v and the Corsair 1.5v so I just set the bios to use 1.65v. Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for reading this already! So, what is actually the great difference between heatsink and liquid cpu cooling? And what is the fan used for on the end of the liquid cpu cooling? Thanks in advance!

Just an idea, but a good one I think. I was thinking about the design of water blocks for CPU's, and I had the thought of taking a standard water block, and attaching a heat sink to it (with or without fans if weight is an issue) and replacing the heatpipe's on the heatsink, with small lines to the inlet and or outlet on the waterblock? To be a little more specific, you could have the inlet on the water block itself, and have the outlet lead to a few lines up through the heatsink, and have them merge back into one as the outlet; or if it would work better, have the inlet be on the "top" of the heatsink, and lead down into the waterblock, and out through a normal port. The reason I think this is a good idea is for small form factor, water cooled LAN-boxes. I don't know if people do water cooling for those, but I would think since with a normal water cooling setup, that space is unused to begin with, so adding an admittedly small extra radiator, plus whatever radiator you're already using, could only result in a net gain in cooling. Just an idea lol. If you could somehow get it to work with transparent tubing inside the fins of the heatsink, it would look ballin as hell illuminated.

Which ones do you perfer? I like the look of the bare copper, it feels better.
