Zotac GTX 570 thermal pads!
Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2013 5:09 pm
I took my 570 apart and i noticed that 2 of the ram chips do not have thermal pads on neither do any of the power phases. I also noticed that the pcb right where the power phases and vrms are gets to 65c at full load the core gets to 68c with room temps at 24c. God knows what the temps are of the power phases and vrms. So i just ordered some Phobya Thermal Pad Ultra 5W/mk. i will replace all the pads. However, i can't put pads on the power phases due to there being no room. What can i do and is it the power phases that heat up or the vrms?
