finally finished installing copper plate (nickel plated) and thermal pads for backplate on my rx580...
Master baka may pics ka dyan showcasing yung mga cooling mods that you've installed as RX 580 mo :)
I still have an GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1070 and RTX 3060 na nakatambay lang - might as well apply said mods before selling it :) Will use yours as an inspiration for doing it. TIA!
Yung RTX 3080 ko medyo hindi ko muna gagalawin at mukhang oks pa naman yung Thermal Paste that I've done recently. These past few weeks ksi nagkaroon ng Green pixel showing up sa screen but bigla na lang nawala after updating to the latest driver (using DDU + NVCleaninstall)
@RyuzakiL: yun lang nakasalpak na sa loob ng case... and hindi rin ako kumuha ng pics while installing it... hahaha... if time permits eh baka makuhanan ko pero yun labas lang ng gpu...
though i can list here things na nagamit ko.. minus of course yung source sa shakee... which can be pm'ed naman kung sino seller...
1st iteration: from stock (2018 card)... changing thermal pads ng vram and vrm and repasting tim
ordered from shakee:
1 maxtor ap-12 14.8W 0.5mm thermal pad 120mm x 20mm
1 maxtor ap-12 14.8W 2.0mm thermal pad 120mm x 20mm
thermal paste is from existing noctua nt-h1
did research/watch vids para sa proper teardown and size ng thermal pads na gagamitin... swerte sa recent video cards ngayon kasi maraming pwedeng source ng info (minin cards)... pero sa rx580 medyo matumal
success naman yung procedure na ginawa ko at buhay yung card after...
2nd iteration will be copper shims na nauwi sa copper plate for copper mod.. buti nalang may seller kay shakee... added to buy 99% isopropyl alcohol too... mas madali maglinis vs. already available alcohols na nabibili sa market (70% yata?)
e-mailed powercolor with regards sa size ng thermal pads na pwedeng ilagay sa backplate kasi may back plate nga yung card ko pero wala namang thermal pad na nakalagay... before that eh tinry ko ipasok yung natiran 2.0mm pads and may space pa... kaya decided to buy 2.5mm pads for it...
pc replied to my inquiry and sinabi yung tamang sizes ng pads for vram and vrm... which is weird... kasi ang inquiry ko is for back plate... at least... tamang info nakuha ko direct sa manufacturer... though naalala ko dati nanag email din ako sa kanila for right sizes pero deadma sila hahaha...
1.75mm for vram and 1mm for vrm... so medyo kulang yung unang lagay ko... kaya decided again to order 0.5mm and 2mm pads... para may back up na pads... then 2.5mm for back plate...
2nd iteration (earlier): may natira naman na 0.5mm pad from previous iteration at may back up naman na another 0.5mm and 2.0mm
1 maxtor ap-12 14.8W 0.5mm thermal pad 120mm x 20mm
1 maxtor ap-12 14.8W 2.0mm thermal pad 120mm x 20mm
1 maxtor ap-12 14.8W 2.5mm thermal pad 120mm x 120mm
iso alco 99%
copper plate na nickel plated
noctua nt-h1 10g (yung lumang tim ko eh iniwan ko sa work)
same procedure sa teardown nung una...
may kasamang kaptan tape yung purchase ng copper plate... sabi naman ng seller eh no need na lagyan ng kaptan tape kasi wala namang masho-short na component ang rx 580... unlike sa 57xxx series ni amd at ng nvidia 3xxx 4xxx series na may exposed parts na pwedeng ma short... still... nilagyan ko pa rin for safety reasons yung tingin ko en medyo aabot sa plate...
watching yt vids kung paano yung paglagay ng tim and amount sa vram and plate... and sa gpu eh naalala ko yung sinabi ni steve ng gn... ok lang marami tim ilagay sagpu... wag lang sosobra hahaha...
medyo trial and error sa part ng application ng tim sa vram... after buuin... inspect... then baklas, inspect again... kasi may mga part na parang kulang sa tim... kaya pinasobrahan ko na hahaha...
nung satisfied na ako na ok na siguro yung thermal transfer eh kinabit ko na sa mobo...
pray na lang na gumana.. eh gumana naman hahaha...
tldr.. sinunod ko lang yung application sa mga videos sa yt... saka konting lakas ng loob din hahaha... 'wag i try kung walang back up plan in case masira... hahaha...
inaantay ko rin pala dumating yung copper heatsinks sa shakee.. ordered 13mm x 12mm x 4mm (8 pcs.) copper heatsinks... ididikit ko sa backplate hahaha... 4mm thickness lang kasi baka tumama sa thermalright hr-09 2280 pro m.2 ssd cooler kung 5mm above thickness na...
Yung RTX 3080 ko medyo hindi ko muna gagalawin at mukhang oks pa naman yung Thermal Paste that I've done recently. These past few weeks ksi nagkaroon ng Green pixel showing up sa screen but bigla na lang nawala after updating to the latest driver (using DDU + NVCleaninstall)
baka glitch lang... sana... hehehe... if under warranty pa yung 3080 mo... 'wag mo muna galawin hehehe...
kung magkaroon ulit ng time... baka i try ko yung ptm7950... daming seller na nakita ko sa shakee... pero sift muna yung mga legit... hehehe
Salamat sa input master. I've dissembled partly yung GTX 1660 Super (Colorful Battleax), and may thermal pad yung sa backplate part. For the GTX 1070 (Palit SuperJetStream), ito talaga ang i-checheck ko yung Thermal Paste and Pads since it's already 7-8years old XD
Hindi ko na mapa-warranty (distro) yung RTX 3080 ko ksi natanggal ko yung warranty sticker.
Yeah, siguro isang card ang i-research ko for every restday para covered lahat and less room for errors.
Of course if the temps are still good on stock config, then might as well just thoroughly clean the heatsinks free of dust bunnies.
Still interested with the copper mods though since they have a very real tangible improvements sa cooling :)
@RyuzakiL: for cleaning?... used contact cleaner (wd-40 specialist fast drying) on almost everything except sa fans... and mas madali maalis yung tim sa 99% isopropyl alcohol... mas madali rin matuyo...
overkill na siguro ultrasonic cleaner ^^
for sure pad thickness... email mo support ng card manufacturer mo... otherwise... google is the key (maraming info rin sa reddit)... pero usually thru user experience...
techpowerup really helps lalo na sa pcb layout ng cards...
wala kasing default thermal pads yung backplate kaya yung nilagyan ko eh yung usual na mga may contact sa heatsink... gpu core, vrams, vrm.. generous amount na lan ng thermal pads para mas sure... kung yung card mo eh may existing placement ng thermal pads sa backplate niya... dagdagan mo na lang yung space...
may available namang heatsink for rtx 3xxx series backplate... pandagdag din sana ng surface area ng backplate for better heat dissipation... kaso 10mm yun thickness niya kaya tatama sa cooler ng m.2 ssd... kaya nag settle na lang ako sa maliliit na heatsinks ^^
Thanks sa input master. Mas oks pa rin siguro yung Copper plate na nirecommend mo sa siapi - daanin ko na lang sa kapton tape. Yung sa korean exclusive, matindi ang tax eh haha XD

Gamit ko P14 as intake sa Fractal Define Mini case ko then configured it kasama ng ibang P12s naman using Fan Control. So far so good.
good evening sir kamusta po temps ng GPU mo sa Fractal Design Mini C same tayo ng case yung sa akin nag 100c ang hotspot temp ng RX 6600XT ko using Fractal Design Define Mini C
Since hindi mabasa ni Fan Control yung sensor ni RX 6700XT, manual fan curve ako via MSI Afterburner tapos the rest ng fans ko including CPU Cooler, naka set sila sa Fan Control ng sabay sabay sabay.

kailagan ko pala lagyan ng top exhaust at intake bottom balak ko na sana palitan ng Lian Li Lancool 216 current case ko.
currently ito ang fan setup ko sa Fractal Mini C TG
Intake Front: Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 Highspeed 140mm (2)
Rear Exhaust: Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 Highspeed 120mm
About that they release a 3k RPM variant of the venerable P12 series from Arctic :). Hope the P14 will receive the same upgrade or make it at 4k RPM :).
I'm tired of these overpriced "silent" fans when you can get 900 pesos fans that can ramp up from 800 rpm to 3k or 6k XD.

Yung bottom sir kahit hindi na, halos minimal lang effect sa cooling. Kahit skip mo na ito. Di din kasi maganda tignan hehe pero yung top, switch ka to mesh filter. Lagyan mo ng 2 exhaust fan. Kulob kasi yung case lalo na pag yung GPU and CPU Cooler halos dikit. Add mo din yung distance nila sa Tempered Glass kaya may hot spot din sa glass.
