This was not easy it was a cool morning here. Everything was lined up just right!! I have actually made this once before but the orb was down and I could not add it so I just dumped it. This time however it was all a go!! Oh I did a little cooling mod

See you all at the top!!

WZ

since your already half way there...":O}

[weldzilla]

Daniel that looks, "HOT!!" Although I know it is supposed to be "Cool"....
It really does look likw a sweet cooler. Have you seen any efficiency stats on as of yet?
Hey Daniel I think you will best your score on 03, which is a great score by the way, by running the 158.22's
I think of all the recent drivers they are the best.

I hear ya Sam who would have thunk you could break 40,000!! on a single $269 card. It is just mind boggling.
I still laugh at it when I run aquamark, as it flies through it so fast that it is kinda comical.

Last runs were on the 158.22's but my card intake is blocked by my net card, will remedy when cooler parts arrive.":O}

That was on Air. For some reason my new Card jacket isn't doing the job. Idle now at 61 @ 66.6F ambient. I know there are no bubbles and it's installed correctly. Have a contact/inquiry submitted now. Was 50-55C on air!

[weldzilla]

What were your card clock Daniel?

Tom

[Samuknow]

You should get quite the improvement over air. Not an increase. That is crazy.

I use everest home. I will have to check out ultimate.

OK here's what's up. Despite the little voice in my head that says if something goes wrong it's my fault...It wasn't! LOL

KOOLANCE:
Hello,
Below I have attached a small picture designating which stand-offs need to be filed down. Usually they only need to be filed down about a mm or so but it depends on your surface contact. Also send us back your mailing address and we will ship you new thermal pads. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Thank you for your inquiry,
Technical Support

I replied:

Hello Tech

Again thank you for your attentiveness. I have no way of accomplishing this. No way to file and certainly no way to get them even at 1 mm. Would you please send me 4 filed stand off that I can use. I'm sure you appreciate how irregular this is. I would REALLY like to use this product, have been happy with Koolance for several years. I need 4 filed pins and the thermal pads if I am to keep this cooler...can you please help me out here? I'm 60 years old and due to past illnesses have not the eyes nor hands I once had. Nor is it easy for me to get around to find some one to do it for me. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, as you may have noticed, if I find a good company I tend to stick with them, until I can not.

[Favu]

I hope they send you the standoffs Daniel~! Is the card somehow thinner than other cards, causing this issue?

[Daniel ~]

KOOLANCE COMES THOUGH!

Hello,
If there is any way you can fill out and RMA here, and just e-mail that department saying that Sarvatma Sharma Tech Assistant authorized for you to send us your VID-280 and your Video Card to us so we can sand the files down to the appropriate height. We would like to help you on this issue.

I really don't know what's going on Favu. They use an illustration of my EVGA in their manual for the install. But as I'm getting a custom fit up, I won't complain more than normal":O}

They are trying to work with me, that counts for something.

[Daniel ~]

They may want to take a look at it themselves. But THIS TIME I'm ready! This is the best jacket to card I ever assembled, really took my time and enjoyed myself, then it didn't work! It can shake your confidence in the physical laws of the Universe. At one point point I actually asked right out loud "Are you ****ing with me again Lord?"

I was laughing at the time, I mean how much of this CRAP can you take seriously? Water is supposed to COOL not heat and I went from 50-55 to 62-68!

At that point you begin to think the world is having it's little joke with you...Note to prosperity:

The world is very big and all of us together are very small, if the world wants a little joke with you, you'd best laugh and real loud!

Other wise, well the otherwise is why we laugh! ":O}

Sorry misunderstood you. I think that one was 648/1.2, maybe 1.3, but in any case it LOOK crappy! lots of tearing in the red and green spite map. Couldn't run it now that's for sure, but Koolance should put that right for me... you were my next choice to file stand-offs! ":O}
