I really like this picture. It is an angle most don't use. Its a tease. We all know what it looks like but we still enjoy seeing it.

Ok, what did you do to that poor card?

All those little wires ... looks like you're torturing it!

It probably looked at him cross, I'd say it deserves it.

Dumo, let us know results!

New case!

Some Gentle Typhoons up front

And out with the old and in with the new!

Just replacing the stock coolers on my 7970s and I snapped this from my s4, thought it was kind of nifty

and the opposite of sexy, almost 2 years of build up lol

edit: I'm cleaning the block now, and it's getting there. I'll try to remember to repost when it's all clean and sexy again (if it gets sexy again)

That is one shiny GPU!

manofthem · Nov 22, 2013

Block cleaned up nicely

All back together again

Now the other is being cleaned

And a little old school, from a Radeon X300SE 256mb

Looks much better. You use brasso and elbow grease or something else?

Vinegar and elbow grease

I let it sit in vinegar for a little while, scrub a little with a toothbrush, let it sit again, scrub again, rinse with distilled water.

Thrackan · Nov 22, 2013

Nice scrub job! And that GPU reflection pic is awesum.

Good information. Does the clear plexi need any cleaning? Perhaps just spritz windex?

There was some nasty on there too, and I used the same method of operation. The acrylic cleaned up much faster that the copper, but I think it was because it was just less dirty.

The vinegar seems to clean up the nickel one too, but it's not as pretty. I think it needs some actual stuff to polish it to make it look sexy, but I'm not going to be able to do that; I've read that Mothers of Flitz is a good meal polisher. I'll add in that nickel block in a few minutes....

cadaveca · Nov 22, 2013

manofthem · Nov 22, 2013

This should be the last of the block pics. I should have some new hardware pics coming this weekend, so I'll be sharing those soon

Nickel cleaned from vinegar.

As you can see, there are some places where the nickel has faded off and copper showing through. More of that in the spoiler

On the back, there are some nasty spots that don't want to come off. I'm supposing the polish would take care of that, but I don't have the time.

All done

PopcornMachine · Nov 22, 2013

Interesting. Think I'll stick with copper blocks. Besides, I use a silver coil and I hear they don't play well with nickel.

itsakjt · Nov 22, 2013

Got Dell S2240M monitor and Kingston HyperX Blu 8 GB 1600 MHz RAM(2 units).

Not much of a close up this time but wanted to share anyway what was on my desk this morning

I too have decided to stick with copper from here on out. I have a new block here and it's copper, and it shall stay that way.

I also have a silver coil, but I don't know if that's an issue with nickel; I've heard people say both, it's fine and it's bad. Whatevs
