Just thought id share what i did to cool my mem junction temp without opening the card and voiding the warranty.
This will not get the temps down as much as taking the backplate apart and popping new thermal pads in
I was tempted to do this but I thought the warranty is worth keeping on a £1400 card..
So I bought a heatsink from the rainforest for £11.49 100x69x36..and thermal pads... (thermalright 1.0mm 12.8w/mk)
But just but placing the heatsink on top of the card it reduced the temp by 8/9 degree c. I have not used the thermal pads yet as i thought they might stain the card if i need to rma it
good job because all three DP PORTS on card do not work.But HDMI Does work!
Also..HDMI will not wake the PC from sleep to have to unplug and plug cable back in every time..any ideas what is causing this??
