Ever go to Fry's in Alpharetta/Roswell? They have some neat stuff but I've never been impressed with their prices.

Does the Sapphire one have the same issue or is it using a different blower?

Y'all know of any free data migration software? Want to clone my current SSD to my new one

It's not the blower, it's the use of a thermal pad instead of paste.
I'll be replacing mine and adding a few extra thermal pads.
I get why they tried pads though, the Vega cards had awful awful paste jobs. Mine was about 75% off the chip to the side/bottom leaving the rest with no paste. Was horrible.

To clarify here, it is not illegal to repaste your GPU. Some companies are just dicks about it.
Sapphire and EVGA are the 2 known ones that don't care if you repaste.

I’m not sure I understand the use of the washers.

It is to make up for the difference in width between the stock pad at say 0.5mm and just a thermal grease which is obviously much much thinner.
So to apply the same pressure you need the washers.

Ah okay. So you’re basically bringing the cooler closer to the GPU chip on the opposite side of where the washers are. Are the additional thermal pads still necessary on the backplate or is the whole “mod” just the washers and paste on the GPU aside?
Posted on 7/10/19 at 11:35 pm to finchmeister08
Just the washers after you remove the thermal pad and use a good grease.

I think the only tube I have around the house is a Thermaltake brand I got from Best Buy 9 months ago. Should I upgrade?

Pretty much anything is better than stock so that should be fine.
Posted on 7/11/19 at 12:17 am to UltimateHog
And it won’t void the warranty?

Not with Sapphire no.

Yes, also the one up 85. Have to sign up for their email promo codes, they have ridiculous deals through those, although not often for computer parts.

I wanna see someone put a 9900K with a stock cooler on an H310 board just to see what happens.
Posted on 7/12/19 at 10:03 pm to Korin
It worked on a 350 board.
Posted on 7/12/19 at 11:03 pm to Korin
I don't understand the query?

Probably nothing if your just running it stock and limiting the TDP.
But why?

310 it probably overheats and thermal shutdowns
