GTX 285 nudes ! ..

Well almost lol ! Pardon my.. AS5 !!

My GPU and or HSF needs to be lapped or shimmed. Its amazing temps stayed as low as they did, after the first pasting, b/c only about 25% of the GPU was making contact with the HSF. 90% of that was around the perimeter yikes!

Will I be ok with the right amount of paste? Or should I lap /shim it ?

The first attempt was way too thick. Still, load temps dropped by 10C, running FFXIV benchmark, and I'm about to test out the second seen below.

Ran it overnight and idle temps down another 6C, 8C total. Cpu idle is down 5C.

Trimmed thermal goodness.

Looks like they zapped the Rock ! Or maybe they were marking someone's inter-galactic golf shot.

for me it looked like they started their engines, and that produced the flash

Sry, i wasnt fast enough to add this:

finally aquired the last fans, to cover the rad on one side
the mounting is for testing purposes only tho
please excuse the dust and the rust, the rad needs a slight touch up too

Do we really need the thought police here too ? This is supposed to be a 'for fun' thread lol...

If we had let it drag on, or if this was a tech/troubleshooting thread and someone complained, then I may see why you felt you had to say something.

At least you were being polite about it.

Peace

Befriending a mod: Your doing it wrong.

yup we sure do, if you want to discuss aliens and their craft, there is GN.net
This is a tech forum and this is a thread of hardware close up, therefore yes, I guess we do need the thought police

 

[Athlonite]

may be it would have been a different answer sneaky if they'd actully posted pics of said UFOs eh least it still would have been hardware

I brought my camera to work today and took a lot of pics, plus started working on my new server at home. Plenty of pics to come, as soon as I can find time to upload them...

how well does that actualy perform? coz arnt car radiators designed to keep the coolant at operating temperature, around 90 for cars? always wondered if there any good

Cars also put out alot more heat, so it should be fine. Especially since this is a huge ass car radiator Looks like a truck's or something.

Ah, the sound is like of a mediocre,humming server... relatively easy to ignore, once your used to it... and i have no problem with white noise when going to bed

Befriending a mod: Your doing it wrong.

luckily, there are few people, that take interest in what you say
nice offtopic too, i bet the mods like you much more

It performs extraordinary, as its about 25 years old, and pure copper (weights a ton )

Good Guess! Youre nearly right, its the climate (heater) radiator of a Van, to be exact, a very old Model of a Renault Espace, still with the old plastic carosserie
The Inlet broke after Years of Service, and it was partly destroyed by salt,
so i removed the damaged Fins (about 1/10th of them),
gave it a good scrub with a sanding wheel,
applied glasfiber epoxy to seal the crack in the Inlet, and touched it up with some random black paint.
cheap, and very effective for me, as i got all the materials and the rad for free
