4850 w/ Coollink GFXChilla 4

[SilverSliver]

Just installed the Chilla, results are...


39c/50c load

700 core / 1050 memory

Thing is absolutely silent, and with the fans on only takes up 1 extra slot. Looks like Crossfire will work easily as well.

I have a GFXChilla too but I've never installed it yet...

Did you have to install the memory heatsinks? Do they stick? Heard/read they don't stick very well...

They stick horribly if you don't clean the points properly.

You have to prep the chips with something like arctic clean. The stock setup leaves a greasy film on the ram chips so nothing will stick. Ive had a few coolers that everyone complaned a out the memory chips not sticknig and I never had a problem. Ive tried some other things but artic clean was WAY WAY easier and did a great job to get the chips prepped. Remember to press firmly and hold the new sink in place for a few seconds before releasing.

Ehh. I cleaned mine pretty thoroughly with 90% Iso. I ordered some Sekisui 5760 thermal tape from Ebay for 4 bucks -- should do the trick.
