That's a nice idea. I've got this old OCZ ram cooler here that I want to mount over the VRMs, but can't figure out a nice looking way to mount it yet. I'm thinking I'm going to have to have my local machine shop fab something creative to mount it. Any suggestions otherwise.

Not really sure how you would mount that?

I was lucky that I had a BeQuiet Silent Wings 120mm fan handy- they have removable screw mounts and a rubberized coating so I was able to wedge the corner of the fan between the rear fan and I/O plate with the rubberized coating it was able to stay where I put it and is noise/vibration free

NICE! That comes in handy.

My good old Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 1 GB DDR5! Cleaned it a few days back.

Got a Gigabyte R6850 for repair.
There's a dent in the chip. It was never opened before and the heatsink or TIM didn't have anything hard. Can the card go dead because of that?

I don't like how thermal pads are set causing all the moisture so did it this way.

The dent should not be an issue, I think. Those letters are engraved in it too, after all.

Hi everyone, here's the review of the Asus R9 270X DC2T 2GD5 graphics card I got from Asus India. Its my first review from a review sample.

Awhile back you posted something about how you did it, not exact but enough where I could figure it out. Just don't say if requested?

Ha, no, it is because I didn't take those shots. That's all I am allowed to share right now, so that's what I posted.

I'll have a review soon-ish.

As to taking good pictures, it's about lighting and having a camera with decent glass, mostly. Not all my pics turn out great though, so there's definite room for improvement for my own pictures, but at this point, those improvements cost $$$ I don't have. Being a broke student sucks sometimes, but I am eternally grateful for you guys and your support over the years I've been doing this. :rockout:
