Koolance Nvidia GTX480 Waterblock: Part 5, ... & Finish

Ok, here we go! I am doing a how to video on installing the Koolance GTX480 waterblock onto an EVGA GTX480. I think this is going to be awesome for anyone out there that has wanted to do this before, but was unsure. Also, for those of you that are experts, it's fun to watch me play with all the cool hardware! Also, I am learning more and more about Sony Vegas, I am now cutting videos, speeding up stuff as appropriate and adding audio tracks. Cool! Thanks Harald!

The videos are in 4 parts as follows:

Part 2: Tools, I/O Bracket & Screw Removal
Part 3: Stock Heatsink Removal & Graphics Card Prep
Part 4: I/O Bracket Installation & Waterblock Prep
Part 5: Apply Thermal Grease, Mount Waterblock & Finish

(Part 1 was the Unboxing video)

Please comment and subscribe!!! Thanks to everyone!
Enjoy!

For the cost of IC diamond, OCZ Freeze works just fine. Cooling paste does not make your cpu/gpu cooler, good contact does.

@0pTicaL823 OCZ Freeze is a nice product, but why cheap out on the difference of price on thermal paste? I can understand buying cheaper stuff if one is building a $600 computer, but anything for gaming...the extra $4 bucks or so makes it worth it. You are correct, good contact and application are big factors, but if you start with the best compound, you can't go wrong. :)

Just to verify, ANY thermal paste will do right? I want to use Arctic Silver 5 (My trusted Thermal Paste).

I'd just like to say, your video walkthrough of this has been a phenomenal help. Thanks to you, I just attached my first waterblock and I'm about to move onto the second. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten the rest of us! I couldn't have done it without you.

And just a tip for any other newbs out there- be CAREFUL when you're taking out the screws. The heads can strip easy, and I had to drill two screws out with a power drill.

@Trubyd44

You can go wrong, but you will have a good advantage XD

Nice videos

The most interesting part for me would be where you put the thermal pads to the water block, since it's puzzling where to use a thin one, where to use a thick one...
