ah it sucks that I can't really try out this quadcore because when i put a load on this GPU for too long it gets too hot and shuts off
I strongly assume the problem is the thermal paste but the friend I got it from superglued the cooler on, and did a dang good job too
@noiob oh my god. I... oh dear god.
s-still that just... s-surely it ..
w-wouldn't it have been easier to re-thread the screw holes or... i dunno, something, anything other than...
aaaaaaa
@Nine easier? nah. Also it's been quite a while since then so idk. The fact that it's old and crappy is kinda the reason why I'm allowed to use it in this experimental build
@Nine I'm not saying it was a good decision to superglue the cooler, I'm just saying that I understand why it was made
@noiob fair enough I gues sbut oh gosh. yow. sorry I'm just... kinda flashing back to finding a cooler literally glued onto a chip instead of thermal pasted and fixed via the bracket.
@Nine apparently the screwholes were stripped
