what's up everyone Jays $0.02 remember my last video I talked about doing something custom with the founders cooler we're gonna do that today we're gonna have some fun we're gonna tear a card apart and see what we can do with it but first a little bit thirsty so oh yeah look at that tastes like cleanliness cooler masters new master keys m'kay 750 mechanical gaming keyboard features a

harder to learn more check out the links in the description below so if you guys remember in my Loki ghost s1 video I talked about my 1080 was actually running a bit warm and it's something that started ever since I water cooled it and then put it back to air it is run hotter than it ever did in the past it even runs hotter than other 10 80s which were Founders cards this one right here if I set the fans static to 55% raise the power limit to the max and raise the template to the max it will actually hit 88 see where my other 1080 would stay in the 70s so something is being really weird about this I've just checked thermal paste it's no problem with it so what I'm gonna show here is I'm gonna try taking one of the coolers off of one of my Titan DS because the Titan B and the 1080 TI are rated to 250 watts where the 1080 is a 180 or 190 watts so the cooler on this is technically beefier now rather than just try and put the big Titan D cooler on top of the 1080 even if it fit that would be a lie it won't fit technically I don't think because this or this has a DVI port it might fit I know doesn't matter I don't want to lie and put the Titan D cooler on top of the 1080 so we're gonna actually take the vapor chamber cooler out of this guy and put it on the 1080 and see if we get any improvement so just to kind of recap we hit 88 see on the 1080 55 percent fan speed lock so it doesn't go up or down and we did that because we need to compare so if the fan was automatically ramping we would be able to compare it to be dynamically changing so yeah let's go ahead and just let's take this out put it in the 1080 and see if we get any improvement now obviously I took the whole cooler off of this this is from one of my water-cooled cards so the coolers pretty much brand had never been used to show you is how to take the actual heatsink itself out as you can see the black one from the 1080 so we're going to a silver 1/2 which might look kind of neat but imma show you I take the cooler out and you can do this to change your thermal paste or improve your thermal paste liquid metal whatever you want to do so you can do this with your founders cards and not have to take the whole cooler off which I've seen people do so you're gonna take an allen key I don't what size it is you remove this screw this screw this one on the side this one on the other side and then there's two Phillips head screws on the rear shield so take those two off as well now this is probably going to not enough this avoid your warranty but if it does that's on you and the warranties we don't believe in warranties around here warranties are for sissies actually you probably should you should care about your warranty especially those expensive graphics cards are today ok so once those four screws are out you can lift up the cooler on this side and then the whole cover just comes off and the thing is it doesn't matter if it's a 1070 a 1070 ti 1080 1080i or Titan D they're all pretty much the same in the way the cooler goes together but you can see this is is it the same size I don't know it looks like it might be it might be absolutely no difference in this cooler ability looks the same to me i no one's rated to 250 and ones rated to 180 whatever we're gonna we're gonna do it anyway because then it'll look cooler it'll look cooler with all the black parts we're doing part swap but first now you gotta start by cleaning off all the old thermal paste and I prefer to use the Dyson juice which is 99% you want at least 70% Dyson juice but we only use the best around here so 99% Dyson juice you're gonna put it on a paper towel or something that's non fibrous you don't want to get little fibers everywhere now paper towels will leave a little bit of fiber but that's okay see like oh well the Dyson juice works it just just melts right through that paste now if you have a little bit of bleed over or just kind of musha's over the side it's okay it's non-conductive so we're not going to be causing ourselves any problems here on the die you can use q-tips or something to make this nice and clean but it it's off the actual surface that's all I care about I have a video where I talk about thermal paste and whether or not you can hurt it so I want you guys go and check that out I'll put the link to it in the description below now we only used ice and paste around here because it has the best thermal conductivity and it's not conductive of metal so we are not going to be causing ourself any sort of problems in terms of it getting on to the traces make sure you use an ample amount that's probably too much but there's no such thing as too much dice and paste now when it goes back together the curved side like this goes towards the fan that's the way you want this to go so you're gonna slide it in like so and then just pop it down look at that I think they should have gone with silver silver it looks better what do you think alright so flip it over hold it by both hands like that and sort of squeeze it together it's definitely making contact so I could feel it sliding around on there we are going to put these four screws back in first because this is what actually holds the cooler in place should have my tool ready first and we're gonna start that screw start opposite corner just like you're putting wheels on a car so now we can tighten this all the way down just go till the threads stop because it will only go so far don't force past the stop otherwise you'll strip out your screw head and then you'll never get it off again and there's that I think the silver cooler looks really cool my goodness I don't think I'm done yet though put this on there that looks so much better with silver so there's a 1080 with the silver cooler and the titan with the black cool tell me this isn't the way they should have shipped it I mean this looks all murdered-out and this just I don't know it looks cool and contrasty with the silver showing through so yeah anyway let's go and put it all back together and see if there's any temperature difference prediction I don't think anything's changed I don't know why this card is starting to run hotter I really have no idea but it looks cooler I mean there's that so now obviously wait I've had a lot of people complain that my test bench is not realistic because it's an open test bench so we fixed that problem through the help of one of our sponsors so yeah there's that this is now as a fan on the side so it actually pulls a little bit of cool air on the side it pulls in probably a little bit from the gap right there but this is more reminiscent of a case I guess so yeah whatever let's fire it up let it run for like 20 minutes to equalize the pressures or the temperatures again 55% fan speed max power slider max temp slider and let's see if it came down from 88 C at all all right so we've been running the hebben benchmark on loop now all settings maxed 8x msaa all the same settings as the 1080 and you can see we actually have a couple of degrees improvement it's bouncing between 83 and 85 so 3 to 4 C improvement it's kind of hard to say you know whether or not the cooler really made any sort of a difference I think it's pretty obvious that the dice and paste is what we can actually attribute to the improvements so definitely guys make sure you run out and get your dice and paste link is not in the description guys you're not gonna find it yourself but 3 or 4 C is fairly significant I mean just changing thermal paste wouldn't do that in fact this is the same exact thermal paste that I used when I retested the 1080 thinking thermal paste was probably an issue after I put it back together from water cooling it so at the end of the day at least we have a better looking Titan D cooler and a better looking 1080 cooler and I don't think the this is actually affecting it in any way because if I take this guy off and if I take this off the temperatures don't actually improve so yeah that's a whole another video concept for another day on we've we've covered it a million times we'll probably cover a million more times about chassis cooling Z I took it off and look nothing has changed on the temperature so far what I want to check real quick though is now I want to put the cooler back to auto so you can see we already have an improvement here we're at 61% fan speed and it already dropped 4 degrees from where we were just a minute ago so anyway guys take this video for what it was just having some fun I was curious as to if the cooler from the higher rated cards cuz member these are 250 watt versus the 190 watt of a 1080 I was curious if there was any improvement to be had it looks like some because now you can see 59% at 81 C and if we were to take this now and just give ourselves a little bit more of an aggressive fan curve and you can see that we are now drowned down into the lower 70s at 72% fan speed which is kind of interesting my aggressive curve is basically set to the temperature and the fan speed will match so it's not too loud or too intrusive and then obviously if it was in a chassis it wouldn't be too bad but you know the takeaway from this is really all we gained was a cooler looking 1080 no pun intended and a cooler looking Titan D all blacked out and stuff so guys that's all for today just a little experimental video to see what would happen take away what you will from this video it was kind of fun to see what would happen but we've got some exciting content coming up this week you guys are not gonna want to miss we've got a giveaway coming oh I got to take this this is important hello listen shark I told you you missed your chance okay we moved on I know I'm beautiful I asked if they look good shaking it all over the place are you oh god here we go again Oh God day one right and to action you're gonna pull out as I'm drinking
