[ungreedy]

Love the project. You get a follow and a cookie from me

  

Beaultiful project!

Thanks

Can't wait for the nicer weather to get here to wrap this Lil NES up!

got bored and replaced the TIM on my gpu . I really must say this is a pretty bad factory thermal paste job.

 

8c drop in valley benchmark with stock settings,going to do more testing tonight . happy so far,at least for voiding my warranty. 

 

old thermal paste

 

new paste ,was to nervous to clean around the die ,the little diodes looks fragile .so I just cleaned and polished the die its self in that was it.

 

 

 

valley before and after same settings

79c before

 

71c after

ouch that is some ugly paste they got there. Could have put a proper amount on like 4 cards what a waste.

the pics dont do it justice , I could only imagined how bad the contact was.

Linus did a video on replacing the stock TIM on a GPU. Seems to be worth it for a such a simple thing. In most cases (and in the case of my 7950 and R9-290) they will not void your warranty if they find no evidence or damage to the stock cooler assembly. Should probably do this with my new 290, now that you've reminded me...

That first thermal paste picture almost made me cry, why would you show such graphic pictures here, and also nice job 8 degrees os a pretty big difference for just TIM

. Yup 8c is just about the difference I needed so my fans dont sound like jet engines. Played a few games last night and the fans never seen of 47%.

I know that feeling. I'm not nearly as far north as you, but it went from -25 F with wind chills yesterday up to 40 F today with no wind.

Wasn't the GTX 750Ti the one that came with random voltages?

[ungreedy]

Wasn't the GTX 750Ti the one that came with random voltages?

yes there is no control of the voltages ,but it stays around 1.06v and boosts up to 1200mhz. at stock settings, 

 

wish I could control the voltage tho bet I could keep it under a volt .

have them both still no control over voltages, the voltages are hardware preset so no go with bios or anything

You should change your member title to something like "Zelda never looked this good" or "can you play skyrim on you NES?"

23F. So shut up.

[Bosco]

Good thinking cleaning off the paste probably wont do anything but knowing it was there would drive me nuts. 

 

Also it's 9c here and I just finished doing yard work in a t-shirt so... yeah.
