Send me your BIOS & I'll mod it for you buddy.

2010 thread yes I know but I'm running a 168k 95' accord ex f22b1 vtec. This engine has tons of power from 0-4 grand and above 4 the timing changes, putting you more into the seat. Then finally after 4,900rpm, it engages high lift profile on the intake side only hints sohc. Although my...

Yeah sourcing a replacement is the problem right knowing if they are a legit professional company with excellent competitive pricing under $100 hopefully. I could pick a new 480 up for like $50-75 If I get the right offer or auction. This 480 I paid $35 for and originally had artifacting...

Well small update picked up longer screws but it didn't matter. I actually found out how to get unreal temps with the non adhesive graphite pad. The pad is extremely thin like as thin as a piece of paper maybe thinner. It's super cheap too a huge 18"x18" sheet is like $7 with shipping $15...

Thanks yeah I think the real issue now is the shim width needs to be precise and paste needs to be used between the diode and shim and probably between the shim and heatsink. Since we need a gap so tight a 0.5mm pad is too great. I ordered again 1.25" x 1.25" which is pretty close to the...

I just re-did it again looking at 95C within 30 seconds. This is getting aggrivating. I think the diode requires paste because a pad can't hold the insane heat coming off the 480 diode even at 950mv and 607mhz.

Thanks man. I have been testing different materials over a period of time now. I ran into Digikey and started testing some stuff I thought was going to blow away all the Silicone material I test from Bergquist, Chooyu Chemical Co Ltd, and Fujipoly. Come to find out the Graphite did great on...

Tgon™ 800 Series - I feel that Z Axis is false advertising... The performance when stacking is pretty bad it seems to cut it equally per stack meaning 5w to 2.5w to 0w... Seriously if u stack 3 of them you get 0% thermal transfer 100% Nothing transfers... I haven't tested the T62 Series...

Nice heres a little comparison showing how the 5300Mhz CPU clearly outperforms a 2926Mhz CPU ... 900Mhz 580 vs 1010Mhz 480 clearly beating quite a bit lol... I ran it on a stable system not trying to get high scores... The stretch above 900Mhz on the 580 requires more watts than fps gains...

I don't think that benchmark is very accurate. Since my 580 score 10.50 giga pixel's at 900mhz and the test is only 1 Second long... I could clock it easily to 1025Mhz for a stable 1 Second long benchmark... Compute performance is a fairly accurate indicator of a stronger performer... Even...

After further investigation the gpu diode is not flat AT ALL. It only contacts around the edges of the chip about 1/1000th of a millimeter of contact. So I need to LAP the stupid GPU diode... Wow

I mean has anyone been able to run a 480 at 900 Mega Hertz on the stock cooler? It's a matter of keeping the temps from going up. On the 480 at the volts required for 900Mhz operation it is stable per-say until the temps exceed 88C on 100% fan and temps continue to rise. That's on 5 Watts...

Just a small update. I ordered the parts I needed to get this working and took it to the next level. As we know Fujipoly 17w/m K pads are $150 for like 8"x8" piece. I am going to run Graphite one-sided ahesive on the VRM's, and Ram at 240 Watts Per Meter Kelvin conductivity. Since double...

Thanks guys! I just got in some of the best thermal material on the planet at 240w/m K. It's so conductive you can hold the material and cut through ice like butter. Anyway I used it on my other systems cpu and saw 25C reductions instantly. Idling at 20C and the load to idle time is like 1ms...

@lavaheadache @MongGrel Thanks guys. What would you guys do and can you explain the epoxy? Glass epoxy sheet in replacement of the IHS and copper Shim? Wouldn't the glass expoxy require a high thermal conductivity rating? I stopped using paste because of it's inconsistent low performance...
