Current GPU's today look exactly like a CPU for the most part. You only put the paste on the GPU Core. Also he doesn't have to worry about putting it on too tight as heatsinks basically smash down on the GPU core as it is. It's not meant to have grease be noticeable between the two. The grease is meant to get into the microscopic valleys that both the CPU Core and heatsink both have on their surfaces. The better the finish of the heatsink the less paste you need. A thin layer on the GPU Core is all that's needed and even that will get squished a little because the two surfaces are meant to be firmly pressed together.The most important thing is to apply the thermal paste over the ENTIRE gpu and don't tighten it to much because having the heatsink crammed onto the gpu means it's not gonna use the paste.
Took me about 2 hours to install the guy. Okay, 30 minutes of that was spent trying to work out how to connect this guy to my Hardcono 12. But a dive into my BITS BOX later proved successful.Nubius said:oh man, that thing looks monsterous from the times I remember looking at it. Seems like quite a bit of work in putting that thing on.
Which I did do. The my thermaltake rep advised me that too.Nubius said:Current GPU's today look exactly like a CPU for the most part. You only put the paste on the GPU Core.
That was the next question that I was going to ask. How do I got about Over Clocking GPUs???apokalipse said:since the warranty is already void, maybe you can overclock a little and see better performance
when graphics get a little buggy, you've overclocked it too far, and you should put the speeds down.
my overclocked TNT2 saw another 100 3dmarks from stock speeds
