@Phatboy69

So how did you go??
I have some older gear i might try this one soon.

Hi I still havent got the blocks yet, expecting them to arrive late this week or early next.

I have this new gadget for my laptop that will allow me to do the GPU reflow pretty simply too!
Im about to pull the fans off a GTX580 and check the die size compared to the i7 to see if the indigo extreme will fit!
I'll take a couple pics.

Vaio Z128 Laptop +External GTX580 = BIG Grin!


Pulled the fans off a GTX580 tonight to check the die size against the i7 and see if the indigo extreme will fit.

Looks pretty good to me! The heat spreader on the 580 is slightly bigger which is safer than if it's too small! Also the actual GPU die is only about 60% of the size of the heat spreader so the hottest area will get full coverage.

I'll know soon if its a fail or not... I expect my blocks this week and I can now use my laptop with the new external PCIe slot to reflow the indigo extreme on the GPU.

580 with heatspreader removed. (not mine!)




The candidates...
