THE COOLER & INSTALLATION
Warning — removing the heatsink from a card generally voids the product's
warranty. Do so at your own risk. Note that all testing on the card was performed
before the cooler was removed.
|
The heatsink is secured to the card by four spring-loaded bolts. The mounting
holes form a square with 4.3cm sides — the same size as the HD 4670
and older cards such as the Radeon X1600 and GeForce 7600 series. If you
prefer aftermarket cooling, compatibility will be good.
|
|
The card's GPU core is exposed and lacks a shim. Four small cubes of rubber
on the cooler's base keep the core from being crushed from over-tightening.
|
|
The cooler has a simple design composed of two copper heatpipes sandwiched
between an aluminum base and mounting plate.
