so I had said I might be doing a follow-up video on the Spitfire six graphics card cooler from thermal right and here it is so I've actually installed the thermal array fan that they've given to me along with it this is a 140 millimeter fan and I just want to I just want to demonstrate the ludicrous size of this cooler setup I mean I love it it's terrific but so this is a Radeon 58 50 Eyefinity six edition so I don't think thermal right even knew this yet but it actually fits it's completely 100% compatible with this special card right out of the box so let's let's go over the installation procedure that I used really quickly here it's not nearly as complicated as it looked when I was unboxing it I thought there were all these screws and brackets and all this stuff and I was like oh this is pretty confusing but actually it's really simple so the first thing I did was I installed the vrm cooler so all that was was one strip of thermal compound off thermal interface material so that's under there and then you just put it up against the the voltage regulators and you put in two thumb screws with plastic washers from the back that's it that's simple to install that piece the next piece that I installed was all of the RAM coolers so thermal right includes an abundance of RAM chip heat sinks so I actually used twelve of these so I used all of the regular sized ones but they also included several long skinny ones as well as eight or maybe it's six but it's a few of the ones that are low-profile so I installed four low-profile ones down here and then I have another four over here now something you want to make sure you're doing when you're installing any aftermarket cooling on a video card is use isopropyl alcohol to clean off all the memory chips before you try to stick these ones to it because otherwise you're gonna ruin the thermal pads that are included on the thermal right ones and I should also mention that the thermal tape that they're using is excellent I did not have any difficulties with these falling off after I applied them and I have run into that before in the past so the next piece that I installed was just the this is a hold down plate right here that goes over top of the GPU cooler itself now you install this both ways it is symmetrical if you check out my unboxing you can see that both of these surfaces are laps flat so you can make it so that when the card is installed the cooler either towers up and up towards the CPU or it can go down towards the other expansion cards and then it actually doubles as a cooler for all your expansion cards because you can have the fan blowing down onto all of your other expansion cards as well so that's kind of a neat perk to installing this so basically you put the hold-down over top you put these little thumb screws through and then on the back you just put a washer a rubber washer a backplate and then one more thumb nut that was it that was the whole installation procedure and once its installed it looks just like ridiculously massive I love it because it's like the size of the video card itself and I oh I wish I had the stock cooler here just for a quick comparison but the stock cooler just kind of is you know this size and then this thing is like huge one other benefit actually that I should mention is that assuming you're not using a knife in a t6 Edition card and you can actually get a single slot PR if you want we're able to get a single slot PCI bracket thermal rate has actually engineered this cooler so that all of the things that are on the surface of the card are only single slot width so if if you got rid of this you could actually install some other expansion card right next to your 5870 even though with the default cooler it is a dual slot card so thank you for checking out my quick video on the installed Spitfire 6 and radeon Eyefinity 6 edition
