For direct die cooling, I would recommend making sure all of the die is covered by thermal paste and that it touches the heat-sink as hot spots on the die can cause weird issues such as crashes since the temperature probe does not report the temperature difference on the die. This is also more true because of the fact that silicon is not a good heat conductor.

No, EVGA stands behind their product. This is just something they are offering to customers who want it. EVGA says it is NOT necessary. They are simply doing these to appease the crowd-mentality. Whether you do this mod or you do not, if your card fails, EVGA has clearly stated they will replace the card under the standard warranty procedure. That's why it's worth buying EVGA branded products. A warranty means nothing if the company is hard to reach or has terrible customer support. Kudos to EVGA for responding quickly and appropriately to a 'mole hill' that the internet has created into a 'mountain.' Absolutely ridiculous mob mentality from people on the internet.

What exactly is the thin TIM strip on the front of the card contacting once applied? When the main cooler gets mounted it looked like the heat will transfer directly to some of the fins and not a plate.... strange?

I always notice when you handle graphics cards that you have a habit of touching the fans. Those fan bearings aren't really designed to be load-bearing, they're only designed to hold a light plastic fan, not the weight of the whole card/cooler. Probably better to not touch the fans at all when lifting a card/cooler. It's unlikely to cause major damage but can cause them to spin off-axis and make noise/heat/wear/etc.

That's an entirely different type of force at an entirely different vector. There's no point comparing them. They are designed to spin around the way a fan does, not to be pushed down on one side. What the comment above yours basically says is that he's being careful not to push them too hard. Better still, is to not touch them at all. It's not like you'll harm the card by not touching the fans, but there is a risk of harming the fans by handling them. Why take a risk if you don't need to?
@GamersNexus
7 жыл бұрын
Because there is no risk of damage here. There is a huge difference between "push" and "touch." Being overly sensitive about this level of touching a product is needlessly worrisome. Flipping the card on its face doesn't put force on the fans, either. That's on the faceplate. And touching them while presenting is harmless.
@captapraelium1591
7 жыл бұрын
I never said anything about flipping the card over because of exactly that. And yes, there is a difference between 'push' and 'touch', it's the amount of force exerted, and that's not visible on a video. I'm not being overly sensitive about it, I'm just mentioning it. You seem to be overly sensitive about me saying so. I've repaired a lot of devices with fans broken by people mishandling them. We'll have to disagree.

They thouht they could get away with it cuz gpu monitoring only reports gpu die temp and not the rest, this is my first and it will be my last evga card, never gonna trust that brand again I assure you.

So on the flip side, it's the back plate that now serves as a heat sink for the VRMs? Seems it's not very well designed for that. If, as you say, the back plate is trapping the heat then just remove it. As seen in your previous video, the cold plate configuration used on the EVGA hybrid would do a better job, even if it was air cooled. If another cold plate could be extended to the flip side (the back plate side) and connected to the front side cooler, then all the hot spots would be taken care of.

By the way why did you install the pad on top of the heat plate? Is there good thermal contact between the MOSFET QFNs and an the plinth on the bottom side of the plate? Adding a layer of any pad between the heat plate and the fins of the heat sink will probably introduce another layer of resistance. Thanks for reporting this so quickly! Good job!

If your affected card has more than two months of heavy use without the thermal pads the vrm is probably stressed. It's a 50/50 chance. It is better to do a bios update and hope for the best. If the card is brand new or has low hours, then do the pad mod. Or if you are loosing sleep over it. It takes two weeks for it to arrive in the mail. Keep the card shrink wrapped until the kit comes. Takes some patience. You can check to see if your card is affected by registering with EVGA. Use Artic Silver 5 on the chip to reassemble. The kit has a packet of Silmore thermal compound. Don't know how good Silmore is. Just went with the good stuff.

Thermal pads come in four sizes 0.5mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. There is no 1.87mm thermal pads to be purchased. The link you have given in the descriptions is only for 1.0 or 1.5mm thickness. Does the film make the true thickness of the thermal pad appear bigger than the nominal 1.5mm? Seems like I have to wait until my pads come in from EVGA even though I could do it myself.
@GamersNexus

Just depends on how much force is applied when using the calipers, probably, in addition to the film. 1.5mm is reaching the heatsink in our small sample size of 1 unit (I bought 1.5mm pads and tested, but we only tested on the one device -- just need to tighten the sink sufficiently). 2.0 would be closer and allow for more 'squish' in the pads.

I notice that the other side of the [smaller] thermal pad does not seem to be touching any part of the heatsink. Will the thermal pad still do its job (dissipate heat better than the bare component exterior) without touching the heatsink? This is more of a general question (not specific to this card)?

This is every EVGA 1000 series card with their ACX cooler.

Even with all the screws undone, removing the front plate was impossible for a friend and I. Lots of force was used (the card is fine and in use) and the plate never came off so we skipped the vrm pads.

I dont know why, but i watched this for entertainment. would love a Strix overview(/teardown) tho, what's good and what's not so good about the coolers (like does the vrm connect with the cooler), been looking around on the internet to check the most common issues about them, and couldnt find all that much. (yea, i look at the products i like, just to find bad stuff about them, just to be prepared i guess).

I didn't find a teardown by Steve for the Strix here so hopefully he doesn't mind this link. It's a German site but you get a good look at the cooler underside and a pretty beefy thermal pad on the VRM's. www.computerbase.de/2016-05/asus-geforce-gtx-1080-strix-oc-test/ No one does as thorough a teardown as GN though :)

I got a hand me down from this card and it's missing backplate screws, anyone know what size they are so I can replace them?
