hello
- "hello! today we take care of graphics cards!"
we receive the new Thermaltake waterblock for this Strix
- "so first we have to remove the original heatsink"
there are 6 screw fixing it
- "yes! four with the GPU and two others for the mosfets"
- "and hop the heatsink can be removed"
first step accomplished
- "well! we continue removing others screws...."
- "fixing the backplate"
- "we take the instructions for use "
we need to place the thermal pads on the memory chips and mosfets
- "Thermaltake has the good idea to provide a set of pads sufficient to reiterate the operation "
- "It remains only to put the thermal paste on the gpu"
as you see, we have to put some white spacer on some locations
- "we need 7 screws to fix the waterblock on the graphic card"
we begin with the GPU
first one....
- "and the other one "
we finish them with the Thermaltake backplate
- "but these backplate no fit with our theme based on wine cooling.... "
so we took a wooden board from a bottle box for wine
- "we cut it to the dimensions of the backplate"
- "we will bring him the little touch that sticks to the theme"
for that, we use our plotter....
- "in order to realize our stencil"
transfering it on the wooden board
- "some black paint later...."
- "we begin removing the outer side of the stencil "
we continue on one side....
- "and voilà !!! "
other wooden board???
- "of course! for the second graphic card "
same stencil?
- "yes"
- "always pay attention during the transfer so that all the details remain in place"
- "camouflage session for the rest of the wooden board before painting"
we have added a signature in relation to the previous model
- "and we add some details on the edges "
then we finish with this graphic cards
- "cool!"
see you soon
