It will only absorb "so much" before the surface of the copper cant bond anymore to the LM.Great gaming experiences are created by bending the rules. I dont know the proper english word for this thing. This will only happen once because the bonding between the LM and copper will reach a limit when the copper surface is "fed" enough. The copper will become stained but the performance is the same. The way i solves this on my R9 290x was to just carefully brush away the lm that has tried up and very carefully use fine sandpaper to just remove tiny pieces that might have bonded with the copper and resulted in small uneven "Lumps". If i remember correctly this is a chemical reaction between the copper and either indium or gallium that results in the LM "drying up" and becomes crispy and will crumble like crushed cookies. If it is copper you might experience something called "ion migration" during the first month of usage. Be mindful though, don't use it if your heatspreader is made of aluminium. I think liquid metal is the way to go here for you. 100c is high, especially now that you also run at 1.230volts.

My personal opinion is that you now should work on getting control of your Junction temp. Wow, look there! Have you tried decreasing memory speed to see if your score increases? To high mem OC often results in performance loss because the ecc function in the ram have to work overtime fixing more problems that it solves It can be easy to forget checking gpu voltage all the time. Personally i would not recommend going above 1.225v also because this becomes the DEFAULT setting that the driver reverts to if you reset your system, reinstall drivers etc. He also points out that if you want your gpu to not die after 6 months you should not go above 1.225v. Increased max voltage gfx from 1.2 - 1.225Īccording to the Igor video he suggests setting 1.25 max voltage. temps didnt budge that much, maybe a couple of c down. I now run these fans at 100%, 1650rpm and to my ears they are allmost silent. Bought a adapter from the 3pin case fan connector to a compatible connector that went to my gfx card. fans were running at 60%.ĭid the "deshroud" mod and installed 2x 120mm noctua fans over the card instead. NOW we're talking! 64c edge temp, down from 71c and a jaw dropping total of 28c decrease in junction temp down to 73c. another 5c decrease in junction temp.ĭid the nailpolish mod to seal of the thingys around the die to avoid short's, applied liquid metal (my cooler is nickel plated but according to all tech reviewers i've seen copper is also ok). Not satisfied, tried replace thermal paste with Hydronaut. Tried increase the mounting pressure, this resulted in 4c decrease in junction temp. Had trouble controlling my junction temps and stock settings. Click to expand.Owner of a MSI Gaming X 5700XT
