More results with ASUS GTX580 DirectCU II

here is indium on Core mounted gave it acid wash first.

To mount it I wet a qtip with a very small amount of acetone, and slightly moistened the GPU core so sheet would stick. Put pot on and heat up to 100c and then cool down to room temp

I doubt it will have the desired effect your looking for splave.

When used as a tim it is soldered directly to core not just placed on. They use concentrated heat and it gets heated melts and cooled extremely fast.


the only way i could see it could be used safely is to solder the IHS to pot then use paste on core but.......back to square 1 when doing that. The entire point is just to eliminate thermal barriers.

That stuff has a preety high melt point. Unsafe if we are talking heating a pot up to solder to core.

Few times I have removed IHS's that use indium it has been enough to desolder pins.......which means the heat required would also be enough to desolder the BGA package.

What you can try is a little blow torch with indium on core place IHS on concentrate heat at center of IHS, have a pot cooled with ln2 ready to place on as soon as you think its melted to bring it back to a safe temp.....still risky though and still sort of defeats the purpose.

Looking flashy and expensive Damn I hope this works for you. I want to see 1700+ core!

Would have been interesting to have had a temp probe on the back of the PCB to measure the PCB temperatures between the changes. Good luck!

I see what you are saying. But this stuff is maybe a bit thicker then what you used. Kinda seems more like an advanced thermal pad that squishes under pressure a little bit. Idk we'll see, if not back to freeze.

Gallium might be worth considering for this. Melts at room temperature and still has a higher thermal conductivity than thermal paste. Only problem is it expands when it solidifies so you might run into an issue with it cracking when expanding.

hire is my Indium Price
100mmX100mm =10000mm² 109€/100cm²=1,09€ je cm²
250mmX250mm =62500mm² 310€/625cm²~0,50€ je cm²

it is 0.1 mm

I'm thinking about to order 250x250mm when the tests here positive

Looking forward to seeing the results - and fingers crossed for ya man

Indium producers all around the world are going to be scratching their heads about where all the extra consumption is going if this works Might have to head out and buy shares

vantage tonight for sure I have to empty my 50L so I can fill it again err something like that!

[teurorist]

it isn't as special as we think
in the Laser industries it is also used to connect cooler with the heat source

Make sure you only get like 3L or something, it will be much more impressive that way!

Splave, what VID has your card? Trying to find some kind of conection for <1400MHz cards and >1500MHz cards

[SF3D]

I am waiting to see if you can make good contact with that
There might be some differences in these indium foils, cause the one I have now, is not the same as our foil was before.
My current foil is definitely not the correct type for this purpose.

I got new Antec PSU's and they rock!

ASUS GTX 580 Direct CU II @ 1500MHz/1300MHz


I think I am ready to keep my break now..13 days to expected date of confinement now
I have got some time for few OC sessions with special permission from my fiancee. Thanks Suvi!

Wait, I think if I used that PSU my GPU wouldn't go that high anyway. Takes modding, experience, luck, and dedication. It ain't the PSU.
Great run.

[Hondacity]

two psus for a single gpu? lol

[dinos22]

have you guys looked at your 12v rail when you have CPU and one of the GPUs working off of it

[G.Foyle]

There's an 800W spike of power consumption when starting Heaven even on air...

I think what linux is saying is that having 2 psu's is not going to polish a turd.....if a card is doing 1150 it probably sucks and 1 PSU is enough.

As far as SF3D using 2 PSU, its preety simple, thats a multi rail PSU with XX amp limit per rail. Maybe he wanted to dedicate each PSU's rail to one power connector on a card.

Seems it would make more sense on a single rail PSU though if you wanted to increase amperage though.

[SF3D]

1 PSU to system
1 PSU to 1 GPU (2x8pin)

That is the way I use them.
These GPU's suck so much power with those settings, that you really need to have a good quality PSU.
PWM part on the card should be actively cooled with strong fans as well.

i was just kiddin.. elmor has been usin that single rail cmspg1200 for quite awhile.

nickshih should chime in bout the damn hcp1200

Nice hardw... effort! Really nice! Good way to go in to the break

Indeed! Thanks for all the help Marcus!

But only real effort was the creation of my new thermal paste Maybe I will start to sell it as well

[Splave]

indium sucked lol couldnt even pass 1400 in 03 so I quit, mount looked good idk maybe need to solder it to the core next time

I wish I was wrong, You will be my hero if you manages to solder it without killing anything in fact just for attempting it

That's a shame. Perhaps sacrifice another GPU first before you try it with your crazy 580.
