X1900XT stock hsf removal

[pengwin]

cant remember if i made a thread but anyways...yah in the thermalpaste a glue or a thermalpaste type . like will it be sticky? i have a radeon 7000 and it uses the glue stuff.

It will be more of a paste on type. You still need to get it off with rubbing alcohol before you put an aftermarket on there with new paste.

ya use isopropyl alcohol to remove the existing stuff and remount with Arctic Silver 5

 

[Aids]

Yeah, AS5 is a must.

 

[pengwin]

yah i got all that stuff

ok

also does your warranty void if u replace the stock hsf?

 

[Heyyou27]

It really depends on the brand.

I think it does void the warranty, but its cool if you know what your doing...
Just make sure your card is working 100% fine before you make any changes to it. Stress test it and so on to make sure its working A ok.

damn....ok will do, if it screws up..look at that the stock hsf never came off GeCube u guys are on crack... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Aids]

Exactly! Only be polite about it, it tends to get you more in life. If they dont budge, then i guess yell and scream. :lol:

 

[pengwin]
