VRM Driver

All those photos were taken with my Nikon D90, using a Nikkor 50mm F/1.8 Lens, iso 400, aperture between F/8 and F/14. Light source in the close up photos was a led flashlight.

Mmmmm, nice dose of sexy close-up's there.

zsolt_93 · Nov 8, 2010

A bit old but still... Sorry for the dust. Those were taken before cleaning the whole thing.

moar pics, cleared my card of the old thermal paste, added some cooling to the mosfets and took it back toghether.

1: Cooler took off. what a mess!

2: Time for some cleaning...

3: Heatsink

4: As before, some cleaning indeed needed.

5: Cooling off the vrm

6: New thermal paste

Techtu · Nov 12, 2010

Andrea what paste are you using and could you let me know your temps with old paste and new paste at both idle and full load please?

it's great that someone with a good camera is taking shots of the same card I have, just makes me drool a little more :roll:

Andrea87 · Nov 12, 2010

Thanks for the reply, I've forgotten to add a macro of the thermal paste I had made. I'm using prolimatek pk-1 for now, might try some arctic mx-3 next week, I've got it coming aside some parts for a friend's pc.

Athlonite · Nov 12, 2010

Ah so it's to connect a little gadget too.... for temps and activity thats way cool

sneekypeet · Nov 12, 2010

The lights work with the 2 fan memory cooler, the Airflow PRO has to have the fan to mount to.

Athlonite · Nov 12, 2010

it's still cool though corsair come up with some neat ideas

sneekypeet · Nov 13, 2010

it is, I got the whole kit

Just one from me, for the moment. Want to edit some others.
Sorry for the large file size. I'd feel guilty if I resized it.

Feel free to use as a wallpaper, just let me know.

Just booted this up:

sweet

cadaveca · Nov 13, 2010

I've got and XFX HD5870 non-reference to go with it. It's kinda disgusting how well the board, mem, and vga look together...all three are black/red/white...so much so it deserves a top-notch case mod. Gonna have to come up with something G-O-O-D. Hopefully you'll see alot more of this board in a few days.

(FIH) The Don · Nov 13, 2010

may i suggest this for a mod if you wanna go all out

cadaveca · Nov 13, 2010

That's killer, don, but I don't have a reference card any more; I have the XFX version of the Sapphire v2.
