Hey All,
I'm disappointed to inform that after spending the day installing an aftermarket graphics card cooler (Arctic Twin Turbo II) on my card my furmark burn in results showed only 5 degree change. This is obviously crap considering other have reported 20 degree+ changes under stress with the same cooler. I'm just wondering if I did something wrong? Admittedly, I do not have alot of experience with installing coolers as this was my first one. I used Arctic aluminum epoxy for the heat spreaders, which I put on the RAM chips and on the voltage regulator. I used Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste for the GPU. Where did I go wrong?! too much/ too little paste?
