UPDATE : just installed VF700 w/AS5 running RTHDRIBL right now

the resisitor is tiny....so tiny ive actually lost it
but the card still working so guess it wasnt all that important?

i was trying to get the flippin heatsink off this leadtek card....harder than i thought

UPDATE: just installed a VF700

with AS5, now i didnt put a blob on the middle of the die, i put a small amount then spread it across, then put a few little dabs here an there to make sure it was completely covered (hope this sounds correct?)

current temp in RTHDRIBL is 63-62 degrees on the 12v fan.....sound good?

it was on the back side of the card, toward the DVI port, im thinking that its not actually got anything to do with the GPU, more todo with outputs or something, either way its working

and i cant jus send it back to leadtek sayin "hey it doesnt work" when all they gonna do is plug it in, and see that it works and then send me it back.

i cant exactly go, i busted a resistor trying to remove the HSF

yeah, if it works it works..just monitor it right after benchmarking or some other stress test that is used towards for your GPU. and just make sure that there isn't any smelly smells coming out of the card...but anyway I'm glad that your card still works man :beer:

I have a similar problem like this, it is involved with a mobo. I just recently purchased a new PSU, and the 20 pin connector has a very large clip and I didn't realize that there is a lil cap right next to the socket, not enough space to fit the 20 pin at all. As a result, I grabbed some scissors and cut the clip up , and waaalaaah ! the pin fits no problem, without compromising the lil cap. I was really freaking out during the installation :Q
 
right gonna have a another go.....il be carefull this time ! lol!

all the while my cards being burned right now running overclocked RHTHDRIBL and its fine so far
 
So how would you compare the zalman temps and noise to the stock cooler? I'd imagine the zalman is better, but how much better is it that the stock cooler?

well id say atm that its only 10 degrees cooler, but i was hoping for more, maybe i have to wait for the AS5, or maybe i didnt do a good paste job

but i jus played FEAR SP demo, which so far is the most "heat generating" game i have. with the stock cooler it was easily going 80degrees plus

now if jus come out of the game, had the temperature window in the background so i could see immediately and the temp was 68degrees not too shabby i suppose not to mention its currently 28 degrees in my room right now. and case temps are 35 degrees.
 
oh well thats a shame

410 is the max stable core clock, and 1.12 is the max stable memory

60mhz oc isnt bad i guess for a 6800gt, least the cards cooler now. guess its just plain out of voltage. i may try bios volt mod down the road, but just going to leave it as is for now.
 
LOL you card must be the brother of mine. Tops out 405/1110 and the Silencer has it at 50ºC idle and 67ºC max load. My voltage is at the default Asus 1.47V in the core though.

no idea what mine is, just stock 6800GT voltage, whatever that is. now that the rooms a decent temp, it was 28 degrees last night! (in north east england!) its now 24.5 and dropping, its idling at a cooler 48-49 degrees.
