Video Card cooling accessories: Accelero S1 with included vram heatsinks + 4 copper thermaltake heatsinks for the mofsets
Hi all,
I recentlly put an order through newegg for a new evga 8800GT 512mb (base model @ 269.99). I received it Thursday the 10th and finally got around to taking off the heatsink to install the Accelero S1.
(NOTE: I didn't have a camera on hand )
In any case:
The version I got was the newer one with the revised heatsink/larger fan.
When I took it off, I was surprised to see that there was no gunk or goo on any of the vram modules or mofsets.... strange? It looks like with the double sided heat sink tape they used they forgot to take off the the think plastic side that applies to the card itself, thus making it gooey and sticking. Either that, or there's some new NASA heatsink compound that is non-stick and orange plastic looking.
So, being that there was no goo crap covering any of the ram, I examined it and to my surprise I see that it's all samsung ram (below is what was on each vram):
Samsung 749
K4J52324QE-BJ1A
ADJ42GBO
I applied the accelero s1 heatsinks to the modules, and some spare copper sinks to the moffsets, and proceeded to install the accelero s1. (THIS THING IS HUGE and I'm having a bit of trouble crunching it into my CM Stacker 830)
So, as I write this, i'm busy installing forceware drivers and rivatuner/atitool, and I'll see what I can come up with as far as overclocking is concerned.
p.s. can someone please tell me if that samsung ram I listed above is 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 NS?
Thanks,
