the blue (or any color) dots are called "artifacts".

there is generally 2 reasons why artifacts happen.

  1. your gpu, or more accurately your gpu memory is over heating.

  2. the card is defective. (whether it be manufacturer or the user who did it). and usually its not something you can cause by watching movies/playing games and etc. its more like you dropped the card or you spilled something on it, etc type of damage.

    Ive heard people say bad/corrupt drivers can cause it, but i myself have never seen such a case.


    So first thing, if you overclocked you card higher then stock factory overclocks, definitely return it back to stock.
    Even if you didnt overclock the card, and its factory overclocked, try underclocking it (memory more importantly). Just to see if that fixes the problem. i mean running like 20mhz less may fix the problem and not affect performance much and is a free fix.

    If that gets rid of it, then its either the card isnt stable at those OC or more likely is that at that clock speed, it is running too hot. (and you can usually only monitor the temp of the gpu itself, and not things like the graphics card VRM and memory chips)
    So your gpu could be running at 50C and your gpus memory chips are running at 90C and you wont have any way of knowing (other then things like artifacts starting to happen).

    So another thing to want to do/try is get better case airflow. you definitely want some intake fans blowing on your gpu. (so you can do things like remove the hdd cages on some cases, or just atleast move your hdds down so the fan isnt being blocked by the physical drives).

    the 4850 is a pretty old card, and as old cards go, they run VERY hot compared to modern cards. and also because its old, thermal solutions are likely not being as effective as they were (like the thermal tape on your memory is probably shot and the thermal compound on the gpu is probably on its way out aswell)

    If you want to keep your gpu, you can try getting some thermal tape and putting it on the memory chips, or better yet get gpu memory heatsinks (the cheaper ones should be fine). something like http://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A/ or http://www.amazon.com/Copper-Memory-Chipset-Heatsinks-Thermal/dp/B00K6YB79I/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1412465127&sr=1-2&keywords=thermal+tape+ram

    you may also want to think about removing your gpus heatsink, and cleaning off the stock thermal compound and replacing it with something else. (my personal fav lately has been arctic MX-2 and MX-4)

    But know all this could be for nothing too. and if you were to buy heatsinks and compound and maybe an extra fan, you could be out $20-25 for not much in return and still need to purchase another card on top of it.

You mean like these?

I've had a surprising amount of success with heatsinks like those on a few overclocked Raspberry Pis.

u/Elgand · 6 pointsr/PS4

I don't have pics, sorry. However I can share a few other things to help -

  1. Heatsink
  2. HDMI Chip location
u/BobTheJedi · 4 pointsr/litecoinmining

Everytime I see this type of discussion, I have to chime in because I did it, but didn't realize you need these too, cgminer doesn't like not seeing a GPU fan speed. (connect it to the 92mm fan). Not sure if sgminer works without GPU fan speed.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160851460913

I did the red mod before receiving my g10 kraken with a thermaltake water extreme 2.0 240mm Rad, so these are my observations (copied from my other comments)

-If you don't want to use zip ties and don't want to buy the adapter (really hard to tension zip ties well)

http://www.mckeemaker.com/2014/01/diy-asetek-water-cooling-on-r9-290.html

--You REALLY need VRM cooling, one fan on top with no VRM heatsink is not enough, try these

-You should also consider VRAM heatsinks as well like this or like this

-get one of these to connect a fan to the GPU header, cgminer doesn't like if it can't read the fan speed, though you can use -T arguement to get cgminer to work.

My 290 at 100% load now hovers at 50-55C and is really quiet with 2 SP120 Quiet Editions :)

This post reminds me that I should dust out the rad when I get home.

u/greenish2 · 2 pointsr/wyzecam

heatsink installed this will require some modifications to the speaker assembly to accommodate such a bulky heatsink.

here is the heatsink I used

For those interested, the v2 cam uses the popular Ingenic T20 SOC

I'm going to see if the microphone quality is improved when it is removed from the case. If it is, then I will proceed with slightly enlarging and beveling the hole in the case for the microphone to facilitate more sound waves hitting the microphone. I am also curious if my unit was thermal throttling the CPU resulting in latency with the audio recording.

More edit: further testing is necessary, but I seem to have dropped temps by over 20 degrees Fahrenheit by installing a heatsink.

for now I ended up removing the internal speaker panel to make room for my heatsink. This is what I removed. After I did that it shut just fine.

Edit: more mods. I hate the low quality audio. Drilling out the mic hole in the case provided a very marginal improvement. It allows more sounds to enter the mic. I also had to flip the rubber seal upside down to put the bigger hole (it was meant for a component that isn't installed in v2) on the mic side. https://i.imgur.com/Jwrl9vc.jpg

u/Harb67 · 2 pointsr/nvidia

I put a Kraken x41/g10 setup on a EVGA 1080 SC after buying and being disappointed by the MSI 1080 Seahawk X. Since these cards don't overclock worth a damn I did it entirely for silence and couldn't be happier. I just set the fans/pump to a fixed 25% and the card doesn't exceed 60c.

OP, you should consider VRM heatsinks. They aren't necessary, but they do help significantly. Most VRMs are spec'd for up to 125C, and they most definitely will hit that under full OC'd load even with the g10 fan helping out. I also have an x41/g10 installed on a 290x and that card would peg VRM1 and VRM2 temps at 125C partway through a run of Valley benchmark with the g10 but no heatsinks. Not liking the idea of 125C ambient case temps, I stuck some VRM and VRAM sinks on the card. Even with a 20% overclock and significant overvoltage, the VRM never break 85c. The 290x is a hotter card than a 1080, but the principal is still the same - those VRMs will get very hot and cause your case ambient temps to skyrocket.

I used these and these on the VRM and these on the VRAM. $25 in heatsinks to extend the longevity of a $700 GPU and to significantly drop case temps seemed like a good investment to me.

One of these small copper ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00637X42A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was just going to use some thermal adhesive and put it on the VRAM VRM, since it's the only thing that gets warm.. everything else runs fairly cool and doesn't need any heatskinks..

You can live without it really.. but if you plan on OCing VRAM then I think it's a good idea.

u/pitline810 · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

You can find a video on youtube or just follow the instructions. It's pretty simple. Just remember that you need to remove the backplate and RAM heatsink (the black fins on the right of this image) in addition to the rest of the cooler. You can use these instead

u/Anergos · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Snap a couple of fans in the front and you'll be perfectly fine.

----

As far as the solutions for the 1080ti, apart from morpheusII, if you want actual product:

NZXT G12 mounting kit

and whichever supported AIO cooler (check this list).

You will need to do some research first for both morpheusII and AIO GPU mounted though. Maybe you need some VRM/VRAM heatsinks as well or something else.

u/sircod · 2 pointsr/Chromecast

The way that panel comes off it would be easy to replace it with a better heatsink. I'll bet one of these would do much better.

u/BigBeard86 · 2 pointsr/nvidia

ok...the install was a bit complicated due to the fact that these cards have vrms on 2 sides of the board. the vrm that are near the IO end of the pcb are very close to some resistors, making it very difficult to find heatsinks that can fit in the narrow gap.

​

for the vram and the majority of the vrm, I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A

​

for the vrm in the narrow lane, I was able to use this old aluminum heatsink I had for my AMD 290 when I had the kraken on that. I do not know if they make it anymore, but it was a perfect fit. the plate of the long aluminum sink was skinny enough to fit on top the vrm without being blocked by the nearby resistors.

​

I used an old thermal pad (fujipoly...which seems a lot more sticker than phobia, which was very oily, but maybe because the phobia was new and unused...now that I think of it maybe the phobia would've worked well too if I heated it and evaporated the oils) on the bottom of that aluminum heatsink and then used seksui thermal tape to attach it to the card, and secure it even more with zipties (though this was an extreme precaution).

​

I also used seksui thermal tape on the copper heatsinks as well, even though the heatsinks come with an adhesive. In the past, no tape was strong enough to hold the weight of the heatsink, except for the seksui tape, which has very strong adhesive and great thermal properties.

​

This is the aluminum heatsink (I just used the long piece): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835426042

​

This entire problem existed because it was not possible to mount the g12 bracket and retain the pcb plate which would've acted as a heatsink for the vrm near the IO end of the card. Later I realized I could've used my old g10 bracket and just gotten longer screws, and retain the pcb plate.

​

You can also avoid this issue by going to a local electronics store, or measuring the gap (once you have your card), and find a narrow heatsink that fits. I used my aluminum one because I had it stored away, on hand.

​

I also ended up buying a pci fan bracket, to cool the vrm on the far left of the card (near IO board, where aluminum heatsink is.

​

Here is a close up photo of where the aluminum heatsink is. you can also see the low profile ram heatsinks perfectly clear the water block. https://imgur.com/gMwQGu3

u/Spyzilla · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

The VRM’s are fine if you put heatsinks like this on them. I just watercooled my 2080 with a G12 and a H80i V2 and max out at like 50°C

u/Nanorunner · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

He's talking about these that you stick on your VRM / memory / whatever you think needs cooling. You usually don't need these for overclocking your CPU unless your motherboard's implementation is especially poor, but when you modify a GPU with an AIO like the H50 you end up taking away the heatsink, so depending on how hot your VRMs and other components run and if the other parts on your board come with separate heatsinks (see Zotac 1080ti AMP! VRM heatsink), you may end up wanting to stick some of them on.

u/Von_Satan · 2 pointsr/Amd

I ordered these copper heatsinks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00637X42A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_t1fyDb8YAG6RD

Not pictured: I have a few aluminum ones on there now with Thermal Grizzly Minus 8 thermal pads, but they are too tall (14x14x8mm), they are getting replaced with the smaller copper ones on Monday.

Drilling... Yes. Yup. I did that. I barely enlarged the holes by say .2mm. Just a hair. I had a vacuum on while drilling, which I couldn't capture in the photo. I cleaned everything super well afterwards.

Idle is now 32C (GPU temp) with the card overclocked to 2160mhz, 1199mv, +90% power, and 910 MHz memory. Junction temp also idles at 32C.

Would I recommend doing this? Only if you are comfortable completely disassembling your expensive GPU, drilling out two holes on your card, and figuring everything out, including vram heatsinks.

I put a 2 fan to 1 fan adapter to my motherboard's AIO header, which is powering both of my pumps (CPU and GPU). Two pumps or fans should be ok on one header.

Attempt this at your own risk.

EDIT: CARD IS UNSTABLE DUE TO MEMORY TEMPS, ABANDONED IDEA

u/oijlklll · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

The fan takes care of the VRMs. The metal plate on the PCB is probably enough to passively cool the VRAM. When I did a similar setup with my R9 290 I bought some of these for the VRAM modules.

Honestly though, I did testing both with and without the heatsinks (plus a few fell off over time), and the VRAM is completely fine without anything as well. Never saw any temps above 90.

u/SoMass · 1 pointr/buildapc

I ended up buying http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHMJIIO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

because I couldn't find the Morpheus on amazon and doing liquid was over my budget. I am looking at

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00637X42A/ref=pd_luc_rh_mrairec_01_01_t_img_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Vram heat sinks but not sure if I will need them, figuring I would need 3 packs to cover everything. What are the chances they will fall off or cause a short circuit in something?

Edit: also can I use any thermal paste for the gpu because I have artic silver 5 left over that I used for my cpu.

u/zeneval · 1 pointr/Bitcoin

amazon.

you can definitely find them cheaper elsewhere, or get a big one and cut it down. shrug. but for best effect you should pull the stock heat sink off the back and sand down the coating on the back of the board and put them there with very thin layer of non-conductive material since these chips are mounted upside down sort of. I have 10 left that I don't really need, if it were easy I'd just send them to you somehow. :)

u/lessthanzach · 1 pointr/nvidia

Are you running a 2080ti with the G12? I do really want to try and keep the PCB baseplate on there and it's pretty difficult to find confirmed information on whether or not it's compatible. If not, I can always order more of the copper passive heat sinks I already have. Would be even better if I can find a white G12 and mix with another white 360mm cooler setup like I have for my CPU.

I really appreciate your input, definitely helped me make up my mind.

u/Reddit_Is_So_Bad · 1 pointr/buildapc

Can confirm, I'm running my 970 SSC with a G10 and a Kraken AIO cooler. The VRMs got hot so I just searched on Amazon for "VRM heatsink", bought these.

The 970 doesn't have an on-board VRM heat monitor so I have no idea what the actual temps were, but while under load they went from "giving my finger literal first degree burns" to "like holding a semi-warm cup of coffee." I feel a lot more comfortable with it now, and my 970 idles at 26C and doesn't ever go over 50C under extreme load. It's great.

u/Dstanding · 1 pointr/buildapc

Lol the hot and bothered 290X is all anyone's talking about right now. And you'll want to pick up a set of these or similar, you just need 4 low-profile copper heatsinks about 1.5cm square. It's not hard to install; if you can install a CPU cooler you can install one of these.

u/RetnuhTnelisV · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yes as an exhaust. The VRMs were my biggest concern so I bought two sets of these and they helped a lot. VRMs don't go over 80 under heavy load like Unigine or BF4 (fwiw). The 390x used to thermal throttle before liquid cooling it. It would reach near 100c. Ridiculous. Now even with that small AIO it does not exceed 65 and is stupid quiet. I put a noctua on it as well so....

I was thinking of CX 390s but will wait until I up resolution. Thinking mic and camera just it...crazy ran out of things to really buy haha

You can probaly buy em cheaper elsewhere.they have a very strong thermal tape on them just put them over the vrm.one covers two vrm inthink. They also sell the low profile ones for the vram. I don't recommend thermal paste as it's a permanent solution and you would want to remove it if you wanted to sell card.

Btw rhese.are.good for ram chips
Depending on the clearance you might want to use these for the vrm

u/brokenearth03 · 1 pointr/Amd

Question: would aftermarket copper heatsinks fit on TOP of the vram and under the heatsink?

Thinking of these style, linked below: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A/

u/nerdthatlift · 1 pointr/buildapc

This is what I got for my R9 390. You probably could find different ones on Amazon.

> the g12 fan is above those?

You're correct. The G12 fan would be above the VRAM and subsequently would be cooling the copper heatsink.

u/mchltang · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

This. I went the G10 route and used these sinks on my card's VRAM.

Which 980/980Ti/Titan X do you have? Some of them come with midplates so you don't have to apply sinks on the vrms. Example.

u/TehSoulja · 1 pointr/buildapc

I was thinking about something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A/
Do those still qualify as heatspreaders? Sorry the naming got me a bit confused here.

u/SimpleJoint · 1 pointr/NZXT

They're unavailable now, but it's jot like they're brand specific. Any sinks with the same measurements should be fine.

I couldn't find low profile copper heatsinks small enough for the vrms on my 480 so I used these aluminum ones with some more thermal pads. Most small copper ones were tall, and I wasn't sure if it would fit together once the gpu cooler was attached .

u/Broseph_McTatertots · 1 pointr/hardware

FWIW airflow actually isn't very important in real-world testing. LTT did an experiment and found that you need to basically fill the entire inside with blankets before there's a difference.

Also the issue with m.2 overheating can be 100% addressed by mounting some stick-on RAM heat sinks you can get for a few bucks on Amazon like these: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A

They're a good idea even if you have an open case and water cooling.

u/BrideOfAutobahn · 1 pointr/sffpc

i found some stick-on low profile copper heatsinks on amazon that worked for me. short enough to clear the actual cooler, and anecdotally they work fine

u/dumb_jellyfish · 1 pointr/nvidia

I've actually been researching this quite a bit lately but there doesn't seem to be tons of information out there. I think it depends on what current cooling solution the card has. Some cards have a heat spreader across the VRMs that can be left on under the G10 but the 670 FTW doesn't appear that way. The 670 FTW's heat spreader looks like it probably has to come off for the G10 to fit on.

I'm not sure what other people are using but I'd probably get these unless I heard otherwise:

u/the_skine · 1 pointr/Amd

Have you bought any heatsinks yet?

If not, do you know the clearance? I've found this post where someone installed a Morpheus that uses these and these, but I'm uncertain of the clearance on the Enzotech heatsinks (latter link).
