Thanks! Can you please provide a source link to that image? I would like to see more context.

Thanks for your detailed guidance! I have worked with various thermal solutions, including direct-die and backside PCB cooling, but never on a graphics card. Also, thermal putty is new to me. I will be testing the card in coming weeks. I'll try to post up my before/after measurements...

Yes, I know that's technically true. I've found using plastic food wrap over the tip of a screw driver can avoid leaving marks on screw heads. If I needed to try for a warranty claim, I'd remove my thermal pads before sending it in. I will first do some burn-in testing and check hot-spot...

Thank you for this review. I am consistently impressed with the reviews on this site! I'm about to pull the trigger on buying this card, but I'm concerned about the VRAM temperatures. I had the idea to remove the backplate and add some thermal putty or pads to couple it to the back of the...
