Crew stummerwinter Posted December 23, 2011 Crew Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) As Massman requested few days ago I will show here, how I prepare a MATRIX for LN2... First I use an organic rubber to isolate the PCB. This material is easy to release from the VGA, much easier compared to ARMAFLEX... In the next step I heat up the container to arround 50°C for easy application of the GOX, normaly to stripes like shown... ...and then equal out the paste: For backplate I use a 6 mm hard platic coverd with two layers of 3 mm ARMAFLEX: Fixed with springs, needs some space, but works, add some plasticine to isolate: Board is isolated with ARMAFLEX: In addition I add a CORASIR mouse pad (any will work, seems to bee out of neoprene): Everything together: After 3 h beniching @ -175°C, no issues this time, but no better score, this card could do only 1525/1350 UH: In addition: - use the hack-fw to adjust voltages to 1,5 V - hack 8 works normally fine - swith 2D-mode off, eg with GPU-tweakit - adjust voltages with NVinspector to 1,6 V or higher in combination with buttons - use no-cold-slow bios - bench Some cards need to heat up to -120°C to boot into OS, in this case a strong hair dryer or something similar helps... Have fun... Edited December 23, 2011 by stummerwinter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbuass Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I usually put the thermal on the GPU (and not on the pot)... Will try this way,.. Thanks for share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
