TheGamingBarrel Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Has anyone here ever attempted to run a fermi card on LN2 Without the IHS? I am pretty sure that my card will have some horrible thermal paste and I am wondering if I can run direct die or if I should just fill it up with kryonaut and move on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoqolatl Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Two out of three cards I ever had had air bubbles trapped between the die and IHS. Might be worth it to replace the IHS even if you don't mount directly to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck at 950-980 MHz core on air now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoqolatl Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I only remounted the IHS on one card, but didn't test clocks afterward. Remaining cards I used with direct-to-die mount to avoid paste cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
