Title: Read if your Neptune is running below 3.4TH Post by: smracer on June 26, 2014, 05:27:44 PM If your neptune is running below 3.4TH you need to put better thermal grease on the boxes that are running slow. Check the dies and see which ones are not working. I use a amp tester to see which Neptunes are pulling low amps.
1) Start with your Neptune that is running slow. Unscrew the 6 torx screws on the case and remove the lid. https://i.imgur.com/eWXdsHQ.jpg 2) Unscrew the 3 torx screws holding down the heatsink. https://i.imgur.com/H0WVqb3.jpg 3) Remove the crap thermal grease with a paper towel. https://i.imgur.com/mdIYdJQ.jpg 4) Apply some Diamond IC Thermal Grease https://i.imgur.com/71fELnq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ggf6CnN.jpg Put the heatsink back on and spread it around and then screw everything back together. Out of 50 Neptune boxes I have had to do this on 12 of them. They are all working perfectly now.

1/4 of you Neptunes were pasted incorrectly? Either that or they did not tolerate shipping well.

If those components get hot the unit could fail. A push pull would work but would create more noise.
