Like the title says I need some advice on how to best remove this thing so i can put some way better TIM on it, I hope that works cause this thing idles at 60c while my Sapphire 4830 sits a 39c..... looking at the 2 you would think that ASUS cooler would do 10x the job...I already know ro remove the screws...I need to remove without destroying the mem thermal pads cause i dont have any
Hey does anyone know if you could apply TIM on where you rip the pads would that work?
I'm using Xigmatek PTIG3606-non conductive TIM

u shouldn't have no problems i took so many video cards apart in my days trust me, there soft based thermal sticky type pads, just make sure u line them up correctly with your momory chips etc, when installing factory heatsink back on card
 
If it's the Artic Cooling rip off HSF then you cannot apply TIM to where the memory lies underneath cause it just will not reach once you remove the preapplied thermal padding. The nice thing however is you'd have to try really hard to screw up that preapplied stuff so you should have no worries.

As always like the Avatar and the advice is pretty good too:laugh: thanks bro
 
The adhesive on the ram pads isn't strong enough to make them rip. They are easily reusable.

Does the ASUS card (left) have less bandwidth because it's the slave or because it's a turd and is it normal for a slave card to idle so high.....
 
The Asus card has a different bios with different powerplay settings. The fan speed is also lower than the other card.

That's because it has no manual fan control like the sapphire does I keep the sapphire at 80% all the time keeps gpu below 55c at all times but that ASUS has an automatic fan control that just plan sucks....BTW the Sapphire Idles at 43c with auto fan at 12%
At least I got the ASUS down 5c at idle to 55c woooo
