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 screws. The
mounting holes form a 53.5 mm square around the GPU core.
|
|
The GPU core is mated to the heatsink base using a thin layer of hard
thermal compound. Some force was required to break the seal.
|
|
The area around the core lacks a shim, so four nuts are affixed around
the base of the heatsink to maintain proper spacing. The cooler accounts
for 250 grams of the card's total mass of 400 grams.
