Actually…….you are correct. They don’t really have any overheating issues. Originally, it was just a repaste……..but I had some liquid metal so I said what the heck………let’s give it a shot.

@@club4ghz Yes…….I saw that when reviewing the video, but the nail polish coating protects them from shorting.

@@club4ghz Big fan of the 1080ti. Such a well made card…….especially the EVGA FTW3 with its switch for “normal” or “oc” mode. I use the 1080ti in some of my ultra-budget builds.

@@techluvin7691 I have EVGA 1080 Hybrid 120mm AIO that work 7 years with liquid metal. Only one time replaced. I always use tiny brush that comes with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, lets you apply the tiny amount that you don't even need nail polish. Also got two CPU's delidded + Liquid metal, no nail polish.

Low to mid 80’s under 100% load. High 60’s to mid 70’s when gaming.

These builds are for sale bud…….so yeah……..the plastic is for the buyer to remove.

yipeeee if I get this im actually gonna be so happy@@techluvin7691

The case does support a vertically mounted GPU…….but I do not think you could have bottom fans. Just not enough room for both and no way to raise the GPU because it wouldn’t fit the vertical slot anymore. Personally, I am not a fan of vertical mounts because of their close proximity to the glass. You can experience heat problems in this configuration.

Actually……I got this 12700 for just over $200.

There are so many very good air coolers now that rival Noctua. Thermalright has some excellent tower coolers. My only issue is that they take up so much of the case.

Yeah……….a little bit “out of control” now 🥴

How is it holding up? I am hopefully gonna order one friday cause I have an i7 990x I am gonna throw in it and see all that I can acomplish.

Hey……you are very welcome.

You will have to measure your thermal pads and make sure you use the correct thickness.

@@techluvin7691 Thank you for the quick response!

@@techluvin7691which thickness did you use on this? Looks like I will be doing this exact teardown

@@JordanandMcKay I cannot remember. You can use a digital caliper to measure thickness of original pads or through trial and error. You must check that they are the correct thickness before screwing card back together utilizing a press fit. If pads are too thick, gpu will have poor to no thermal paste contact. If pads are too thin they will have no contact marks. It’s best to order a few different thickness of pads just to be sure. If you don’t have good contact, temps will rise rapidly under high gpu load. Use MSI Afterburner for GPU temperatures (big edition under settings). Use quality thermal paste. Not cheap garbage.

Overclocking and/or tuning ram is a painstakingly long process with plenty of stress testing. It’s tough even to tune at 1.35v so you pretty much have to increase your voltage to at least 1.4v. It’s perfectly safe to do this. There are a couple of other voltages the will help with stability on both Intel and AMD. Some excellent information resides on a Github server that is more of a guide.

Because if you want to do a proper job free from errors it takes time. If you can complete the task faster……….good for you. Have a nice day 🙂

@@techluvin7691 Not saying it doesn't take an hour, but every other video on this subject is around 10-15 minutes at most. 99% of people are not going to watch 50 minutes dude. This is why people edit.

@@oldowl4290 Unlike other “monetized” channels, I am realistic about the time it takes to repaste a graphics card. I don’t edit my videos.

Sorry………not a gamer………but in stress testing temps were approximately 6 to 8 degrees C cooler. Over time, thermals paste dries out. Cleaning the old paste and applying a quality compound brings performance back to any card as heat is the biggest issue affecting a graphics cards level of performance.

🤔 ………. I believe so, but don’t quote me on that. I always do a hand pressure fit to ensure the pads are being compressed and the thermal paste smudged up on the GPU before reassembly.

Gonna say .5 mm I believe. The 1070 is an 8gb card of gddr5. If you change the thermal pads you want to try and match the original size. If you put on too thick a thermal pad, your cold plate may not contact the gpu chip and overheating of the core will occur.

There are thermal pads present. I did not replace them because I did not have the correct thickness of pad.

@@techluvin7691 What are correct thickness of pad o V-ram?

@@mirkovicivan For this card? ROG STRIX 1070 So respectively 0.5mm vram there are 2 lengths 5cm 1.5cm and the second is 5cm but the width 0.7mm for the mosfet is already 1.0mm 12cm with a width of 2cm one 12cm is gray and these 2 vram are yellow.

@@wiedzmin3050 Yes, ASUS ROG STRIX 1070. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

@@mirkovicivan No problem, I replaced mine and I will say it is worth it, over 10 degrees less, but almost 70 degrees for this card is already a lack of paste on the core. And supposedly many people write that at 80 it is only worth replacing, meanwhile the paste on the graphics card core was almost burning the paste...

0,75mm pads for vram and vrm. Cant rly find such thickness pads anywhere, but you should buy 1mm of very soft pads, hardness should be Shpre OO 60 and lower (lower the number, softer the pad). Basically softer the pad, the more it can compress to your needed size (Shore 00 55 can compress about 0,3mm). If the pad is too thick, your gpu chip wont make good contact to heatsink and it will run rly hot, if vram pads will be to thin, then they wont make the contact and your memmory will be overheating. So yeah :D im myself now runing soft 1mm pads, and temps are great, core 1400mhz at 60 C with 40 % fan speed in game, vram donno cuz card dont have dedicated mem temp sensor, but no mem errors (that lets me believe its not heating).

Use 0.5mm pad and add a bit of thermal paste (use cheap ones such as gd900) on top of the pad to add some thickness and to make contact to the heatsink.

You can use thermal putty / copper shim / thermal putty on the ram and utilize kapton tape over components for protection. You will get better thermals then just thermal pads.

I believe so. Thicker then what was on there, but it worked out fine after testing.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, it may be true that your motherboard only support up to 2666 mhz, but without knowing what motherboard you have, it’s a guess on my part. Provide more information on your present setup.
