It reflects somewhat badly on to affiliate with and promote a brand that has decidedly anti-enthusiast policies. Most of the time when there is a price difference it's because the website jacked up the price due to demand rather than the brand actually having a higher cost to the website (ie: I only bought Galaxy 480s because EVGA was sold out at identical cost.there was no tradeoff of crappy warranty in exchange for lower purchase price). You might have a point if good brands actually cost more but they usually all cost roughly the same. The only other air cooler with compatibility announced is the existing Promilatech MK-13, but that is a failure of design on the GTX cards (only cools properly if case is on its side), according to a couple people on forums who tested it.

sigh.Į: Actually, Thermalright announced in March that it will release bolt-through kits for the GTX series that will work with the Spitfire, VRM stuff, and HR-03 models. However.I must admit I'm going to be screwed when I re-add another GTX 470.Ĭould either return them, or spend more $ on WC. Also, I am using custom fan profile so the temps don't rise above 85C and fan speed doesn't rise above 65%, which is great. Too thick to spread with CC, so spread relatively evenly with finger inside plastic bag. I applied Arctic Ceramique, and temps are still the same.
I also confirmed earlier testing - running 120mm side fan as exhaust or intake does nothing to temps. Problem is that the heatsink fins run parallel with the PCI-E slot, so a side fan does nothing but hit the edge of one fin. Load temps went up at least 5C (shut system off before it went higher). I took off the cover and aimed a 120mm fan directly at the card from the side. You can watercool it take it apart as much as you want, all they want is the card to be returned to default factory condition to get it replaced so keep your original cooler. I have a Zotac gtx 480, I am glad I got it from them, They clearly state that warranty is only void if there is any damage during any modificaiton.

I just think it is unfair because most people who buy a five hundered dollar card are the ones who build their own system, and I am sure 90% of know how to disassemble a card and clean it up and replace the paste.

But they cant really do anything because it is a software mod without having to flash your bios. I think company's should be more worried about people giving their graphic card more voltage with msi afterburner then a user replacing the paste on it. To me if there is no physical damage to the card then company's should honor the warranty. If you replaced the TIM you really don't have to go on telling the company hey it has been two years since I got the card but I replaced the paste on it about a month after I got it. I am sure if you replace your card they don't open up the heatsink to check for damage. If you replace your TIM then you should just chill and enjoy your card. Unless there is physical damage I can understand the company would refuse to replace your card. HMM, I am not trying to cheat anyone here, but why does everyone go asking about replacing TIM, to me it is called taking care of your card. pop the top off and four screws in the back and the heatsink comes off. I think 480/470 heatsinks are the easiest to disassemble. If you did by mistake then make you need to tighten the backscrews before you tighten down the heatsink. You don't need to unscrew anything on the back of the card. The 470 heatsink isn't attached the same way the 480 is. So probably why my temps are on the high side. My current intake fan is a scythe 1200rpm. I'm getting a Noiseblocker M12-S3HS fan next week hopefully that will help with temps. Gaming 93c seems to be where it sits at as a max temp. Thats when I redid it and now it settles around 92c. The first time I did it i used a plastic bag and spread with my finger, and it was transparent thin. When the paste was applied to the GPU I couldn't read the writing on the GPU.
I dont really remember what the max temps were before I changed it but I think they got close to 100c.

Under full load furmark it hits 95c but then the a while later when the fan hits max. I spread the thermal paste across the whole surface of the GPU.
