The thermal pad i ordered finally arrive. It's an idea to reduce temperature by placing thermal pads
around the gpu which does not had contact to the heatsink due to a serious design flaw.
Thermal paste were not apply to the gpu.
I uploaded pictures of how i placed those thermal pads around the gpu and temperature of gpu
after booting to windows. Comments ?

First thing first have you taken your medication?
Went to Polyclinic for mental checkup already?
Why would you want to do such experiment?
Did you notice there are char marks on the heatsink which is not a good sign.

Please apply thermal paste and stop whatever nonense you are doing.
Thermal paste is meant as for thermal transfer between the GPU die and
the heatsink.

Simi design flaw your brain got problem seriously.
Memory IC does not need to be cool.
Seriously if you keep playing around with your GPU, eventually it will die.

PC is not a toy don't keep do this do that.
PC are electrical components and if you anyhow.
Chances of it catching fire is very high, you have not seen a PC catch fire before while I have.

Not to mention I assume the GPU is still under warranty and by experimenting
the warranty void.
So stop playing with your PC.

It seems like your view on PC related stuffs are not in-line, or agreeable, or debatable with most/or all of the members here. I'm sorry this forum doesn't share the same view and passion as you do. I'm sure you will find a forum with members who will appreciate your passion and dedication to hardwares.


I will be closing this thread. Thanks.
