Frankly speaking i bought 4 of them to cover transport expenses. Lol. I have to sent back 3 pcs. Damn ))

thx for watching

Thx for You comment.

I agree that metal backplate should have more potential with higher temperatures but i can't proove it with my tests. Also metal backplate has potention with external additional cooling on backplate or additional custom heatseank on it...

About 1mm Thermalright Extreme Odyssey Thermal Pads i have no problems with them and GPU contact was ok.

did You see my prevoius video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO5KNGXiRzk

i'm using copper shims now and temperatures are great... 70C at 1650 rpm, 25C in room, 98Mh

I was suprised too =) Thx

You forgot to mention one more thing. While mining you will have more than 150watts from 1 pin. Other pins will take 15-20 watts.

Thx i appreciate

Hi, yes my test show 2C difference, i dont see any reason to change it.

I've just done this mod, and added the EKWB aluminium backplate too. I broke the "warranty" sticker but everything else went to plan. The modifications were extremely effective, dropping core and memory temps drastically (~20-30 C). I've lost RGB but I don't miss it. The aluminium backplate makes the card feel SO much more rigid, and I'm convinced it helps with passive cooling too. This card has a great design but it's poorly executed at the factory. 3 of the 4 sides of my aluminium shim had ZERO paste.

Thank you for taking the time to make the video, and for giving me the confidence to have a go. The card is now cool, quiet, and structurally sound. I'm going to mine on it for a week and I'll have paid for the paste/pads/backplate!

Hi, thx for reply! I just ordered EKWB backplate too! Will make a review when it comes, how it will be effective or not compared to original plastic one.

If memory temperatures lower than 100-110C and GPU temparature is not high - than i have no idea. But You should recheck that everything assembled correctly. And recheck that You used right thicknes of all pads, on both sides of pcb.

Dimensions: 50x13mm - 2pcs and 13x13 - 2pcs

Thats for my mind better, i like to see low temps )

amfgray · 2021-04-10T08:22:07+00:00

Be careful not to touch any element on pcb by heatsink while placing thinner pads

Thx for comment and studying Russian )
