I'm facing a problem with the accelero xtreme plus II and the 6870. the 3mm spacers are too long and the heatsink does not contact the GPU chip. anyone else has this problem?
Thanks for this video. This seals the deal and I will be purchasing one of these to replace my stock cooler on my XFX 6870. The thing sounds like a vaccuum in my case and is the loudest fan. The twin turbo is so quiet!
Hi, I'm going to be getting one of these aftermarket coolers because my stock fan has died on my 6870. I'll probably follow this video for tips and whatnot. Do the separate little heat sinks stick to the VRMs with normal thermal paste or is there something extra you need to stick them on?
Any extra tips you can give me would be great! Thanks, also great video :)
@Xenogenocide Tnx for comment. The orginal basecooler for VRM is enough. VRM uses heatmats that looks like chewing gum. I did put too many little heatsinks on top of orginal VRM heatsink.
I did the same, used a saw to get that piece of the original one. Works great! Load temps dropped with 10-20°C while stressing. During actual gameplay it dropped 20-30°C !! HD 6870 @ 1000/1050
nice vid mate thanks!

Also, did you need to buy the VR001 for the extra heatsinks?

@piterfloyd I think so. If just the structure of card is same.

a reference design 6870 just goes up to 71° C at full load? no way man. My xfx 6870 Black Edition dual fan heatens up to 93° C in furmark.
You must have been testing in the snow :)
cheers

@IronswEeep No.
I used piece of orginal heatsink to cool VR.

@snowsoul83 Nice, Thx for your vid i'll buy one. But what about the sound? Compare to the original fan do you hear it in IDLE?

Arctic is silent as wisper. At the end you can hear it on Furmark.

Way to ruin your warranty man. You could have bought 2 pieces of thin sinks on the VRMs for $2.
