Down side, I'm back on the Verizon antech POS. Wi-Fi streaming and data transfer on the network is mediocre at best.

Then again, I had a couple small vram heat sinks fall off a video card once even though I followed the directions to the letter (degreasing, etc). It is pretty quick and easy to use though. |

Well, this was more stressful than it should have been, but it's all done now...
Tomorrow I move into my new case as well, so I'll have some pics once it's all assembled. -- Dave |

That is a lot of work for an old card.
Is this for a htpc or quiet pc? |

I have one on my main desktop rig, which I use for everything, including folding. I have another desktop rig that mainly just folds (Win10 machine). I have an old folding rig that has been retired as well, with a D14 on it. They are really great air coolers, I think you will be happy. You may want to check if your memory will fit under the cooler.

Meh... put the 680 back in and system won't power up with it installed... guess it didn't survive the heatsink-ectomy... not even sure how to try and troubleshoot this.

I take it it powers on without the card, just not with it?
Tried with it on the pci-e slot, but without power from the psu? (get a 970 ) |

I don't think the board was using anything on the heatplates for added ground... not sure what is up =P 970 isn't really an upgrade from the 680... I might aim a bit higher. |

Futzed with it a bit... figured the VRM area was the only place any kind of electrical shorts could have happened.
Managed to pop off one of the heatsinks I epoxied on and noticed I didn't damage the chips below... slowly managed to wiggle each other heatsink off and clean up any epoxy that might have been bridging things. GPU works now with nothing on the VRM chipests... so clearly I have to be more careful when I re-epoxy these back on (cleaning the epoxy off of the heatsinks will be hell). Much better temps before/after: Last edited by AcquaCow; 07-29-2015 at 01:34 PM. |

I would check carefully around the power cord connectors and make sure you have not broken one of the hard metal connectors. Can you remove the heatsink and AS and put it back on with new compound? |

Regluing the vrm heatsinks on right now... Used 1/2 as much epoxy this time.
Edit: success! Up and running! Last edited by AcquaCow; 07-29-2015 at 11:48 PM. |

I'm also not sure with all the other airflow I have in my case, how much this was fighting against any of my other fans... I seem to have enough airflow out the top/back that I find a lot of dust stuck to the back of the PCI-e slots on my case due to all the air being pulled in there. |

Yeah, 970 is a substantial upgrade over the 680 in every single aspect, period.

This was the previous before/after I posted...but I had re-seated the water block a few times w/o putting fresh paste on since I was troubleshooting.
Here's the same workload but with proper paste on it: Quite the difference... especially because this is silent. |

Wow. That's a lot of value for a $5 paste.
