I ended up ordering some Gelid 1mm pads on Amazon and put them in, so now the card is functioning back at 100%. Surprising that the person in that post said use 2mm... not sure what pads are that soft but 1mm seems to work just fine on the memory for me

Recently I re-pasted my AMD reference 6800XT and I've been experiencing some very high temperatures afterwards. The previous owner had re-done the past on his own and it was typically running 95C junction with high fan speeds stock... so I thought I would get in and re-do it with some better...

I love this video about the card that was made back in the day.

I believe the Skylake and Kabylake IHS are slightly thicker due to a thinner PCB, so it probably will not work without shaving some off

If you're really set on trying this, step one should just be to get the pump to turn on. Try with just the power wires and once you get it working then add the PWM stuff since the pump will run without those. I would definitely ditch the adapters you have though, it could be why it's not...

There is definitely more to it than raw power output but I wouldn't think it's something that is that hard to do. There are power supplies that have USB hookups to monitor and change how some things work inside of them, I don't see it as a super stretch to add a bit extra so that you could have...

Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade to a new laptop that can be charged over USB-C, but it would be nice to just leave the charger at work and charge at home via a port that can deliver the 80 watts needed to charge quickly. AFAIK a motherboard wouldn't be able to deliver that kind of power. I'm...

Unfortunately that doesn't work with Skylake processors, otherwise I would have ended up going that route. I hope that EKWB ends up making a new kit for the 6000 series though, the aqua computer one isn't quite what I was looking for.

If anyone is curious and finds this thread, there is a product from Aqua Computer that allows the stock CPU socket to clamp down without the stock heat spreader. You might need to modify your CPU cooler to fit the socket though. Aqua Computer Webshop - Spacer für Intel Skylake CPUs 51180

Hey guys, I have been looking around for a while but haven't really come up with an answer to this. I have taken the lid off my 6600K and redone the thermal paste, however I am really interested in mounting my waterblock direct to die. I don't have anything crazy right now (a Corsair H110) but...

The top definitely has room for fans + a radiator as long as you don't get a super thick rad with thick fans. The fans are offset to the window of the case so you need to worry more about bumping your RAM than you would the edge of the motherboard. I've seen AIO's like the H100GTX fit up there...

Definitely not glass, feels like plastic but I'm not sure what kind.

Really a 60FPS hard cap in 2016? That's unfortunate.
