Title: Mining... sense in applying arctiv silver? Post by: NetTecture on June 05, 2011, 06:24:58 AM ;) And loose the guarantee?
High densitiy mining. Getting rigs next week. I just wonder. In the past graphics cards were notoriously crappy with their cooling "elements". How is it now? Plus, we still loose the guarantee, correct? Title: Re: Mining... sense in applying arctiv silver?

Cooling is not an issue if the case has sufficient airflow. You may have to manually adjust the fans, because the drivers may think 92C is not a good enough reason to go above 34% fan speed.

I have heard that you can lower stock temps 20-30 degrees... so it would most definitely be "awesome"... whether or not it is "worth it" from a business stand point is up to you. For me it is not. I can buy another card for the cost of two cooling fans... and space is not an issue for me. Title: Re: Mining... sense in applying arctiv silver?

At most 5-7C, and that would only be if the stock stuff was garbage. Title: Re: Mining... sense in applying arctiv silver?

The application of TIM is Important too! Just a tiny dot in the center of the die will do. Too much, and it will actually insulate more than conduct heat.

It will not affect the total power dissipation at all, except for maybe the fan spinning at a lower speed and using a couple milliwatts less. Title: Re: Mining... sense in applying arctiv silver?
