Some Advice Please.

If you did rejig with the IC Diamond, would this void warranty and then you would not be able to rma?

How so? It has no 'VOID if removed' sticker?

The heat sink should be burning hot to the touch. I think its probably done to the TIM your using TBH.

And im using CL Liquid Metal, but will have a good through strip later in the week-end.

I think the TIM you are using is hard to get off as it works it way into metal a mate of mine uses it on his cpu and says that it can be a nightmare. perhaps it is the TIM?

Perhaps so. We will see when I change it as soon as RM get my IC Diamond here. I have also noticed my CPU temp has gone upto 40~C idle, and thats under water with a 120.3, all though this may be caused by clogging in the blocks :/. I did want to put the 4890 under water aswell, but I'm thinking it's a waste if it's knackerd. May aswell just buy new when my chistmas bonus arrives.

Ok good luck with it, let us know the outcome!

Edited: dug up a guide for you on how to remove this stuff, looks like you have to do a lot of graft to get those cpu`s clean not sure about gfx cards mind. http://forums.vr-zone.com/overclock...-possible-way-remove-included-56k-warnin.html

Now...this is just WIERD!!

Did a full re-install of my ENTIRE system, partial rebuild, waiting on some tubing to re-do my loop. But I now have SANE temps on my GPU that has some basis boring ASUS gunge on...

Bear in mind previous my idle temps were about 40~C below what I posted.

Heres my current idle temps!!

GPU Temp (DISPIO) - 49.5 C
GPU Temp (MEMIO) - 54 C
GPU Temp (SHADERCORE) - 49 C


Odd?

must have been your TIM or the heatsink not seated right? Well i hope all is well now
