"Well guys, sometimes in life, the things will not turn out the way you expect" - that's some serious philosophy man 😅 Thanks for this video. Needed this for servicing my cards ☺️
The reason why I keep ample space between gpus for my rig builds, pains me whenever I see a miner pack their cards like sardines(guess they don't care since gamers will take them off their hands later).
So this happened to me when I repasted an rx570. The second time I repasted I spread out the thermal paste rather than use the pea method and it helped alot. GPU cores are not the same as CPUs, the GPU core needs the entire surface covered. I would suggest you open it up and repaste just the GPU. It likely has a spot that's empty
I have repadded about a dozen gpus recently and I have this problem too. What I realized is that it has to do with replacement memory thermal pads not squishing as much as the cheap stock pads. So it creates a very small gap between the die and the heatplate. When the die is flush with the heatplate/heatpipes it looks like it does around 5:50: the thermal paste is so thin that it's translucent. If the replacement pads are too thick, then taking apart the repadded/repasted card you'll see a thin but opaque layer of thermal paste because the die isn't mashing directly into the heatplate. I repasted 2 RTX 3060 ti gigabyte gaming OCs just last night, and it looks like gigabyte uses the same white paper-thin thermal pads on the memory as they did in this 1070 ti. I also have some gigabyte gaming oc 5700 XT and it looks like they use the same on those as well. I had to disassemble and reassemble a few times, mashing down the thermal pads by hand until I got good contact between the die and the heatpipes.
Can you recommend me good thermal pads for my 1070 ti and the thickness I am trying to replace them I hop it would a different in the temperature cus now at 100% it runs around 73°c
31:50 Hi! You are looking at the gpu temperature. You should check the junction temperature (vram temperatures) with the hwinfo program. Surely it is much better when placing new thermal pads. Excuse my English. See you!
@@CallejeroMotovlog I think you're making a big confusion here. The only thing that you can see for any card that it isn't the 30-series is the GPU core temperature and the hot spot temperature. The memory junction temperature info is only available for NVidia 30-series that has GDDR6X memory, which means only the 3080 and 3090. I have the 1660S, 3060 and 3090, I assure you that the only one which displays the info of memory junction temperature is the 3090. You can read more about it here www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/l5bwnv/hwinfo_642_adds_memory_junction_temperature_read/
@@wagnernoise Yes, sorry! I meant the hot spot. It is not useful to see the temperatures of the memories, or at least to have an idea of how they are anyway? Thx!
Great video! Maybe this small difference in temperature comes from the fact that you were using the cleaned gpu to render the graphics in the monitor. Cheers!
Nice video! That was very relaxing and nice feeling to watch actually! :) Conclusion about the higher temperature on the refurbished GPU; Old GPUs doesn't measure the VRAM/Memory temps, that may have still been improved. Thermal compound on the GPU (core) was also replaced, that's odd that the temperature is higher than the not cleaned one. Maybe it was really good compound on the original one, or the temperature sensor is like a little bit off. Maybe it has always been higher on this card? You did all good! :) It was need to get fixed because of the fans anyways! My own conclusion of this video; I'm not needed to change thermal pads if the temps are low. Some changes thermal pads and paste all the time, I do not. A great tip is, if your GPU isn't running 70-75C or beyond the thermal pads/paste are going to last longer.
Nice job on the clean up. I'm contemplating selling off my 1070tis and getting 3060ti/3070s or 6800/6800xts. I have EVGA FTW2's for my 1070ti's and they do about 34-35mH/s on Eth. I run +125 core +1000mhz mem and 62%PL @ 105-110w. They run so damn efficient is why I have a hard time parting with them. I did just score a reference AMD 6800 that runs at 64.34mH/s at 105 watts I use TRM 0.8.1.1 for AMD and TRex 0.20 for my 1070ti's and only special thing im doing is '--mt 1 --validate-shares'
Those FTW2's sound awesome dude wow. I was going to sell each 1070 Ti as I got a 30 series to replace it and well...I didn't. I really don't wanna get caught holding on to them and watch the resale value drop though. You should measure the power for that 6800 at the wall. AMD you usually need to add 15-20 watts to what the software reports. Still sick either way. Happy mining brother!
My guess is that those new thermalpads on memory are transmitting heat from memory to the heatsink and that rises the overall temperature by those 3 degrees, leaving memory running much cooler than before the mod. I did a bit similar thing with my brand new 3080 which didnt had thermalpads on the back of the pcb, throttling entire thing at 110 degrees C memory temperature. After adding thermalpads on the back of pcb they transmitted memory heat into metal backplate, leaving memory running much cooler and not throttling anymore. So, this +3 degrees you are seeing most probably means "cooler memory" and is a good thing. Not sure if hardwareinfo64 shows separate memory temp for 1070TI (it does for 3080). Thanks for a great video - I'll do the similar thing to my 3 year old 1080TI soon :)
I have an old 1070, did the same as you, cleaned, changed pads and thermal paste, temps went up nearly 10 degrees. Took it apart, removed the thermal pads over memory chips. Temps went 10 degrees cooler than with the old paste and pads. On my 1070 there is a lot of space over the memory chips the cooler fans are good and seem to cool better according to hardware info. As a bonus the cooler card is hashing at 29MH's as opposed to 26 before. This card is mining etherium at 51 degrees core temp and 62 degrees memory. There was always 10 degrees between the 2, but without the pads on the memory, temps are way cooler. I'm at plus 150 core, plus 250 memory. Increasing mem. clock further does nothing for this particular card (Gigabyte).
I love the Gigabyte 1070 ti, just their pricing is insane, on Newegg one costs $1000, but luckily a found several on eBay all for about $500 a piece. For me personally i have to say that i prefer Nvidia cards. The AMD are good but standard they don’t impress, and only if you invest the time Flash the Bios of them several times, then you get to an OK performance. For me the RTX 1070 TI are right now the perfect cards for Ethereum Classic, since as of today it is not yet so profitable. Maybe i will get a few RtX 2060 super cards, but that should be sufficient to both stay profitable, even at a lower payout, but more it is important for me to be already mining ETH Classic then the regular ETH moves to prove of stake only. The share value will certainly rise up from about $ 200 per Ethereum classic. Thanks again for for upload, was again a very insightful and valuable video, especially if you are just starting out to mine Crypto 😊🎬
My Asus Strix 1070 8GB (non-ti) is getting 28mh/s with 0+ Core, +600 Memory, Power 85%, fans set to 80%. Running at 49C and I’ve never opened it up to repaste it, just dusted out every other month.
My best guess for the higher GPU temp is that your new thermal pads are soaking more heat from the memory and other components into the heatsink now, and so your GPU temp is measuring hotter. That would still be a win in my book, knowing my memory temps are lower. 🙂 And if the thermal pads are ever so slightly thicker now (perhaps need some time to compress more), they could be lowering the mounting pressure on the GPU a bit, which will result in higher temps. And finally, I'm sure you already know that a graphics card behind another one will always run much hotter. Not sure if your above average spacing between the two cards is enough to completely negate that effect. Perhaps try swapping their positions and comparing again.
This is great. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. These are all things I didn't of. I gotta get them back in the grow tent and compare temps there too. They sit next to each other in a 6 GPU rig. Either way I still feel it was a win. Thanks for the support and happy mining!
You have the gpu's next to each other and the one you changed is on the recieving end of the heat so I bet if you put them apart they will have the same temps.
Hey RF you have been very important un my mining live, I admire the way you explain everything easy but technically because that make totally sense for me .... this week I'm cleaning my gpu's msi rx580, evga 1080ti and zotac 1080ti but somes doesn't recognize the memory after cleaning process, have you any idea about it? Had this happened to you ?
Tighten the 4 center die screws alittle more, might be that the cooler doesnt have enough surface area to the die. I noticed that on my 3090 while changing thermal pads, had to tighten the screws 2 times little by little until i got good temps. That might be why you see 3c higher temps.
Hi man. I have 2 brand new RTX 3070 which are running at the same fan speed, but one is cooler than the other, and they're far enough from each other. So I guess comparing your untouched gpu with your repaired one isn't the best thing to do, even though they're 3 years old. I think a more fair thing to do would be comparing the repaired one before and after! Cheers man! And I love your videos!
Great video, thanks for posting! Just my opinion, perhaps when cleaning your other GPU's its possibly a better idea to not compare temps of different cards as a benchmark of success, they will likely not be the same anyway. A before and after thermal readout from the GPU being serviced would have better shown any improvements or lack there of. Also if worse thermals afterwards it could be from poorly applied paste etc. A good program for checking Vram T-junction temps like HWiNFO64 might also be more useful than MSI Afterburner if your GPU has more Temp sensors onboard to support this. The core may be only 46C for example but the Vram may be like 110C and thermal throttling reducing MH/s performance if say for example your thermal pad was not the right size by mistake.
Thanks buddy! I've seen BBT use those and they are crazy! They aren't too bad in price over here. Might be a future purchase for sure. Thanks for the continued support dude. You rule. Happy mining!
Hello Red Fox ! Are you going to make a video about maintenance in general ? Like every how long you do your GPU maintenance, what are the difference you noted on different GPU models, do you change just fans but also thermal pads anyway ? and so on.
Hello! It's a good idea. I think I might do something like that soon because I have some 1660 Tis that need some cleaning up. Thanks for watching buddy.
Haha it honestly wasn't too bad for me except for getting all the wiring tucked in so the cooler fit back in nicely. Plus, the satisfaction of that first fan flick. Mmmmm...
I'm guessing maybe the thermal pads weren't the right thickness or maybe they weren't placed exactly in the right place? I feel like it should significantly have improve the temps. Maybe it did compared to the same GPU's old temps?
What is the m/K of the pads you put in the reworked GPU? You should match those with the manufacturer spec or get better ones. The stuff I saw you using was the cheap thermal pads. That's where the thermal increase is more than likely coming from. I would assume the 1/2 mm near the GPU and also the sloppy cut VRM and VRAM strips may be a problem. You need them to fix the heatsink exactly or you'll get the heatsink jacked up off the board or GPU chip. Not smart!
Yeah dude. I mentioned those in one of the parts I fast forwarded through. I watched BBT use them on his stuff and researched them a bit. They don't seem crazy expensive in themselves, but I guess the liquid cleaner you need to use would add up quite a bit. Good stuff!
Core temp goes up often after opening the card. They probably use different paste in factory or your pea method missed a spot... etc but 49 C is not bad most important is the memory temps they can go up pretty much. HW info can show those numbers.
True. Also, it takes several hours under heat to let the TIM settle into the pores of the metal. I bet the temps drop another 2-3C after a day of mining.
bought a 1070 from a self proclaimed professional miner not soo long ago , he said it is completky broken since it overheats & makes weird noises. Deepcleaned the fins , gave her new fans , pads & paste. Overclocked & undervolted her. Runs like a champ , powers my Gaming Rig rn
I would be curious if you swapped the gpu location or positioned them so they or both oriented the same away from the rig if the result would be more inline with what you expected. I know on my test rig I have cards positioned almost exactly the same way and the one in between my rig and other Gpu always runs hotter I would assume from warmer air flowing over it. Like the cards btw :) I have the same ones but 1080's
Infomative video. Thanks for sharing this. Since we cant check the vrm temp, hence we dont know the difference it made. But im curious to know what temp it is before cleaning?
Hard to say because I had it running in a 6 card rig in a grow tent and all the fans were broken and not running. So situation is greatly improved haha.
Dont't worry. I've seen other videos and they had the same issue :After cleaning and replacing thermo pads and paste the results were worst. The clue is : NOT TO TOUCH THE GPU - If U think that hou have bad parameters, U can have worst 😉
Yeah I thought the same. At first I had one in the frame still and the other on the table. Moved them both on the table and still read the same temps. I'm going to check them when they are back in the full rig in the grow tent and see.
Hey Red fox, i recently learned to use to -straps command when playing around with a 1080ti and found out it made a huge difference, somewhere around like 3 mh/s. But i found out later that the whole 10 series is supported by the command. My 1060 does a whopping 0,6 mh/s more (okay lol not that much but still free extra hashpower!) But unfortuantly i sold my 1070 so i will never know how much the hashrate could have improved. Would you like to do a test with the -straps command with your 10 series gpu? Maybe nice for a video. Keep up the video's and happy mining!
Ah great idea! I remember messing around with the straps when they first came out. Time for me to revisit them. Thanks Nick! Happy mining brother! You have a great rest of your week.
I am still using an old MSI 1080ti for gaming but I think it need new paste and pads. Would it use the same size pads as this? 46 degC... what is your ambient air temperature?
Not sure on pad size for that GPU, you'll need to search around the internet to see if anyone has posted the thicknesses or use calipers to measure. Ambient air temp at the filming of this video is in the high 60s to low 70s.
Hey red fox, excellent channel! Keep at it! I was wondering if you can give some advice? 5700xt mech memory temp is at 104 c. I replaced the thermal pads, but it's still overheating, making the rig shut down. Any suggestions?
Ah thanks dude. I have a 5700 mech and haven't done the thermal pads yet. That GPU runs on the verge of melting all day. Are you running the fans high? I run mine at 100% on that GPU (even though you should really aim for lower). I know there are different ratings for thermal pads and how well they dissipate heat. Not sure how yours stack up versus others out there.
Yeah splitting hairs over 3 degrees. Might be because it's also pushing video to the display as others brought up. Either way, still a success. Thanks for watching!
It's possible. I only had them running for a few minutes together so I was thinking it wouldn't make too much of an impact so soon. Thanks for watching!
You can't get same result as u used different thermal paste also thermal paste need time to settle also you did not mesured ram temperatures where improvement most likely happened 😉
Sometimes leaving them alone is best... disturbing them can ruin a perfect mount. But either way, your pads were cooked and needed to be replaced. I bet their temp has come way down. Unfortunate you cant see vram temps easily
Not a bad price for 8GB cards considering the current market. I personally wouldn't buy any Polaris cards now, but if you are just getting into mining it could be a nice low cost entry.
@@ognjenpetrovic9127 I'd always recommend the latest 30 series cards or even 1660 Supers or Tis just based on efficiency. If/When profitability drops those GPUs will keep you profitable for longer over the old RX 400/500 series or GTX 10 series.
Gigabyte uses the CHEAPEST and OILY thermal pads. I replaced my Gigabyte 3080s thermal pads because after 2 weeks, it started to leak oils everywhere and the fans weren’t helping, flinging it everywhere!
Got my 5700 non XT pulling 52MH on 120Watts 24/7 Have to run my fans at 75-80% to keep my memory temp down around 88C... you think that's safe to just let run 24/7 Fox?
Yes, you can replace the pads on it. I had a fan blowing directly on my memory 24/7 and that's how I lived.. I got thermal pads and the fan is at 70% and the mem temp is only 64C now... Def worth it to repad.
@@MikesAMiner yeah I have opened up my case and have a 140mm Noctua blowing right on my GPU as well ... I may have to try and replace some pads... Tricky to find 3mil thermal pads from what I can see that's what size I need to sink the memory to the backplate properly on my card... its an ASRock Challenger rX 5700. Thanks for the feedback!
@@silicosick My one RX 5700 took 2 mm pads and the other I put 2 mm pads on but the card bulged like it wasn't good and the cpu inside didn't make contact with the heat sync, so I downsized to 1mm. She cold now
Yeah I think you're right. I remember having to pull back the mem OCs over time as I was getting invalid shares. I think 32 MH/s is what I was getting on these originally, but I've given them less attention as better GPUs were added. Thanks for sharing!
As the old saying says "No need to fix what is not broken" :) But I am glad to see how it gets done!
Haha thanks for watching Miguel! Happy mining.

Cheers! 🍻
The "new" gpu is picking up all the heat from the back plate of the "old" gpu, that's is probably why the "new one" is 3ºc hotter
Yeah was thinking the same thing.. @Red Fox Crypto can you pls post here what happens if we keep em apart
The reason why I keep ample space between gpus for my rig builds, pains me whenever I see a miner pack their cards like sardines(guess they don't care since gamers will take them off their hands later).

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate the kind words buddy. Happy mining!
i would bet your ram/vrm temps reduced significantly - adding a few degrees to core temp since all the heat is going to the heatsink
Yep and if the new gpu was in position of old one while testing that could make diff too, better airflow at edge of table.
Good call. We’ll go with that. It makes me feel better. 😁

The dissassembly is good when after screwing all pasrts together u get some extra parts thats no necessary anymore :)
Hahaha. I used to say this back in my computer tech days. "It powers on! These screws were just extra!"

It's the monitor. I always find whichever card I plug my display into hash's about 1% less than before I plugged into it and adds a couple degrees C.
The thing is that maybe memory temperature is way lower in the fixed card

You have the gpu's next to each other and the one you changed is on the recieving end of the heat so I bet if you put them apart they will have the same temps.
I actually was rooting for you bro. Is this correct USA speak lol.
Hahaha I'll take it! Thanks for watching buddy.
Great video.
Thanks Jordan!
Hey RF you have been very important un my mining live, I admire the way you explain everything easy but technically because that make totally sense for me .... this week I'm cleaning my gpu's msi rx580, evga 1080ti and zotac 1080ti but somes doesn't recognize the memory after cleaning process, have you any idea about it? Had this happened to you ?
32:12 It looks like your new fans spins slower then the old ones.
Tighten the 4 center die screws alittle more, might be that the cooler doesnt have enough surface area to the die. I noticed that on my 3090 while changing thermal pads, had to tighten the screws 2 times little by little until i got good temps. That might be why you see 3c higher temps.
Thanks for the advice dude. I will give it another look. Happy mining brother. Hope you are enjoying that beast of a 3090.
@@RedFoxCrypto np mate I hope it helps, indeed I am :)
Hi man. I have 2 brand new RTX 3070 which are running at the same fan speed, but one is cooler than the other, and they're far enough from each other. So I guess comparing your untouched gpu with your repaired one isn't the best thing to do, even though they're 3 years old. I think a more fair thing to do would be comparing the repaired one before and after!
Cheers man! And I love your videos!
Thanks Juan! I appreciate you sharing and the support buddy. Happy mining on those 3070s!
Great video, thanks for posting! Just my opinion, perhaps when cleaning your other GPU's its possibly a better idea to not compare temps of different cards as a benchmark of success, they will likely not be the same anyway. A before and after thermal readout from the GPU being serviced would have better shown any improvements or lack there of. Also if worse thermals afterwards it could be from poorly applied paste etc. A good program for checking Vram T-junction temps like HWiNFO64 might also be more useful than MSI Afterburner if your GPU has more Temp sensors onboard to support this. The core may be only 46C for example but the Vram may be like 110C and thermal throttling reducing MH/s performance if say for example your thermal pad was not the right size by mistake.
probably wrong size of thermal pads that are destroyed around the die that cause it go higher temp, or maybe fan curve/speed
New thermal paste needs ~48 hours to set up. Maybe restest in like 3 days.
Thanks for the tip dude.
@@RedFoxCrypto NO PROBS! Let us know what it settles at.
Nice job my brother
Thanks buddy! I've seen BBT use those and they are crazy! They aren't too bad in price over here. Might be a future purchase for sure. Thanks for the continued support dude. You rule. Happy mining!
Thank you for the video. I'm using the same graphic card, but the thickness of the thermal pad is 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0, right?
Hello Red Fox !
Are you going to make a video about maintenance in general ? Like every how long you do your GPU maintenance, what are the difference you noted on different GPU models, do you change just fans but also thermal pads anyway ? and so on.
Hello! It's a good idea. I think I might do something like that soon because I have some 1660 Tis that need some cleaning up. Thanks for watching buddy.
i get 33.3 with my evga solid no invalid shares thing is a champ. gunna sell it soon and it weill be hard to let go
Phew that thing is a beast. It's definitely hard to part with these workhorses man. Happy mining dude!
I think he should record the temp before the maintenance so he can compare if the process was successful. I bet it is hehe
If only I had that much foresight! Definitely should have done that.
nice video and amazing work , BUT ,,, i hate fans replacing , i just hate it , its the worse day for me if a fan broke
Haha it honestly wasn't too bad for me except for getting all the wiring tucked in so the cooler fit back in nicely. Plus, the satisfaction of that first fan flick. Mmmmm...
I'm guessing maybe the thermal pads weren't the right thickness or maybe they weren't placed exactly in the right place? I feel like it should significantly have improve the temps. Maybe it did compared to the same GPU's old temps?
hi what thickness pads for 1070 palit super jetstream thanks
What is the m/K of the pads you put in the reworked GPU? You should match those with the manufacturer spec or get better ones. The stuff I saw you using was the cheap thermal pads. That's where the thermal increase is more than likely coming from. I would assume the 1/2 mm near the GPU and also the sloppy cut VRM and VRAM strips may be a problem. You need them to fix the heatsink exactly or you'll get the heatsink jacked up off the board or GPU chip. Not smart!
personally i think a guy with lots of gpus and occasional maintenance, a sonic cleaner would be a good idea, and alot less fuss
Yeah dude. I mentioned those in one of the parts I fast forwarded through. I watched BBT use them on his stuff and researched them a bit. They don't seem crazy expensive in themselves, but I guess the liquid cleaner you need to use would add up quite a bit. Good stuff!
Core temp goes up often after opening the card. They probably use different paste in factory or your pea method missed a spot... etc but 49 C is not bad most important is the memory temps they can go up pretty much. HW info can show those numbers.
Good points. Thanks for watching dude.
True. Also, it takes several hours under heat to let the TIM settle into the pores of the metal. I bet the temps drop another 2-3C after a day of mining.
people: mining hurts you gpu
this: 3yo greasy dusty card that only need some fixes.
💯
bought a 1070 from a self proclaimed professional miner not soo long ago , he said it is completky broken since it overheats & makes weird noises.
Deepcleaned the fins , gave her new fans , pads & paste. Overclocked & undervolted her.
Runs like a champ , powers my Gaming Rig rn
@@retr0_fps That's sick. Nice job dude.
Nice!
Thanks buddy!!
I'm surprised
I would be curious if you swapped the gpu location or positioned them so they or both oriented the same away from the rig if the result would be more inline with what you expected. I know on my test rig I have cards positioned almost exactly the same way and the one in between my rig and other Gpu always runs hotter I would assume from warmer air flowing over it. Like the cards btw :) I have the same ones but 1080's
It could be the quality of the termal pads that made the GPU run a little hotter than the old one.
Yeah it's interesting could also be the thermal paste I used.
Infomative video. Thanks for sharing this. Since we cant check the vrm temp, hence we dont know the difference it made. But im curious to know what temp it is before cleaning?
Hard to say because I had it running in a 6 card rig in a grow tent and all the fans were broken and not running. So situation is greatly improved haha.
Dont't worry. I've seen other videos and they had the same issue :After cleaning and replacing thermo pads and paste the results were worst. The clue is : NOT TO TOUCH THE GPU - If U think that hou have bad parameters, U can have worst 😉
Reverse the location of the two cards? Will the clean card get 46 and old get 49? That would be the final test.
Yeah I thought the same. At first I had one in the frame still and the other on the table. Moved them both on the table and still read the same temps. I'm going to check them when they are back in the full rig in the grow tent and see.
Should have changed the thermal pads regardless if it looks good. 🤷♂️
Hey Red fox, i recently learned to use to -straps command when playing around with a 1080ti and found out it made a huge difference, somewhere around like 3 mh/s. But i found out later that the whole 10 series is supported by the command. My 1060 does a whopping 0,6 mh/s more (okay lol not that much but still free extra hashpower!) But unfortuantly i sold my 1070 so i will never know how much the hashrate could have improved. Would you like to do a test with the -straps command with your 10 series gpu? Maybe nice for a video.
Keep up the video's and happy mining!
Ah great idea! I remember messing around with the straps when they first came out. Time for me to revisit them. Thanks Nick! Happy mining brother! You have a great rest of your week.
u got new link for the 1070ti fans, link expired bro, cant find ya in discord
so satisfing
Thanks Noland. Glad you enjoyed it my dude. I know it was a long one.
I am still using an old MSI 1080ti for gaming but I think it need new paste and pads. Would it use the same size pads as this? 46 degC... what is your ambient air temperature?
Not sure on pad size for that GPU, you'll need to search around the internet to see if anyone has posted the thicknesses or use calipers to measure. Ambient air temp at the filming of this video is in the high 60s to low 70s.
Hey red fox, excellent channel! Keep at it!
I was wondering if you can give some advice?
5700xt mech memory temp is at 104 c. I replaced the thermal pads, but it's still overheating, making the rig shut down. Any suggestions?
Ah thanks dude. I have a 5700 mech and haven't done the thermal pads yet. That GPU runs on the verge of melting all day. Are you running the fans high? I run mine at 100% on that GPU (even though you should really aim for lower). I know there are different ratings for thermal pads and how well they dissipate heat. Not sure how yours stack up versus others out there.
I may have found it on ebay
3 degrees ... pulling in the other GPU heat?
Yeah splitting hairs over 3 degrees. Might be because it's also pushing video to the display as others brought up. Either way, still a success. Thanks for watching!
Removing the bracket is most of the time a not necessary step 😉
Where those that oil comes from?
The thermal pads.
Use a bowl for your screws!!!!
Ok!!!!
dirty 1070 blowing hot air on the clean one :) could explain that difference don't you think ?
It's possible. I only had them running for a few minutes together so I was thinking it wouldn't make too much of an impact so soon. Thanks for watching!
You can't get same result as u used different thermal paste also thermal paste need time to settle also you did not mesured ram temperatures where improvement most likely happened 😉
Good point! Thanks dude!
Sometimes leaving them alone is best... disturbing them can ruin a perfect mount. But either way, your pads were cooked and needed to be replaced. I bet their temp has come way down. Unfortunate you cant see vram temps easily
Good point. Thanks for watching my dude. Happy mining brother!
The gpu with new thermal pads is working harder rendering video output 🤷♂️
Oh snap good call. I didn't think of that. I wonder...
@@RedFoxCrypto also, what rating are your new thermal pads in W/mk? You want at least 10, preferably 12. Thermalright do 12.8 and they work a treat 👍
I think it was worth it. You most likely increase the lifespan of that 1070 ti.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hey Red Fox, should i buy a rig rn if i can get rx 570's or 480's 8GB for 200 euros, i have some extra money and i always wanted my own rig ?
Not a bad price for 8GB cards considering the current market. I personally wouldn't buy any Polaris cards now, but if you are just getting into mining it could be a nice low cost entry.
Should i get 1070s or 1080s, what is your opinion with my budget around 1.5-2k dollars, btw thanks for the answer :)
@@ognjenpetrovic9127 I'd always recommend the latest 30 series cards or even 1660 Supers or Tis just based on efficiency. If/When profitability drops those GPUs will keep you profitable for longer over the old RX 400/500 series or GTX 10 series.
Use HW-INFO to get a more accurate reading on all sensors on the card man , you probably made improvements you just couldn't measure them
NİCE!
ThANKS!
Is there a fanspeed you would recommend for mining 24/7?
Yes 80% is a good spot to be in.
Gigabyte uses the CHEAPEST and OILY thermal pads. I replaced my Gigabyte 3080s thermal pads because after 2 weeks, it started to leak oils everywhere and the fans weren’t helping, flinging it everywhere!
Yeah dude I've noticed this on all my gigabyte cards.
Where does the oil come from?
The thermal pads. Yuck.
HAHAH! 26:03 didn't remove plastic film from top of thermal pads. FAIL!
I did. I just cut that part of the video out since it was painful watching me remove the plastic.
Just letting u know the ifixit referral link isn’t valid:)
bro i bought 1$ cheap theremal paste to use it on xfx rx 570 4gb gpu is it okay !

That's a fake
Got my 5700 non XT pulling 52MH on 120Watts 24/7 Have to run my fans at 75-80% to keep my memory temp down around 88C... you think that's safe to just let run 24/7 Fox?
Yes, you can replace the pads on it. I had a fan blowing directly on my memory 24/7 and that's how I lived.. I got thermal pads and the fan is at 70% and the mem temp is only 64C now... Def worth it to repad.
@@MikesAMiner yeah I have opened up my case and have a 140mm Noctua blowing right on my GPU as well ... I may have to try and replace some pads... Tricky to find 3mil thermal pads from what I can see that's what size I need to sink the memory to the backplate properly on my card... its an ASRock Challenger rX 5700. Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve run my 5700s about there for over a year now. I think it’s okay but re-padding can give you some piece of mind.
@@RedFoxCrypto thanks!
@@silicosick My one RX 5700 took 2 mm pads and the other I put 2 mm pads on but the card bulged like it wasn't good and the cpu inside didn't make contact with the heat sync, so I downsized to 1mm. She cold now
Nice. Dude I just Did a thermal mod as well. On a GIGABYTE. I HATE GIGABYTE. Worst pads ever
Thanks dude. Yeah man all my gigabytes from 10 series to 16 series to 30 series just leak oil. I can probably use them to season my cast iron pans.
@@RedFoxCrypto 🤣🤣🤣
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
i would actually like to know
i would bet money
that every 1080 owner also mines crypto when they're not using the card, or want too.
Blow out......whyyyyyyy just go and take water the cooler will not get damaged and the dust will get trapped in the water.

Sell it on eBay with description slightly used hahahaha

You can get over 30 mh/s on those.
core: 140
mem: 1100
p/l: 110w
31.25mh/s @ 41C
Yeah I think you're right. I remember having to pull back the mem OCs over time as I was getting invalid shares. I think 32 MH/s is what I was getting on these originally, but I've given them less attention as better GPUs were added. Thanks for sharing!
Don't sell your first mining gpu !
I should frame it!
Agreed, would be a nice test to see how long it mines until the card dies.
