btw, Tunix TX3 is better than MX3?

Yeah, just the stock tape that they give with the heatsink. I just change the freaking paste to MX3.

MX3, I didn't get it from here. I ordered it back when I was using the GTX 280M. Ask a Paypal buyer/seller from this forum to purchase for me.

Ur purple scar.. i think.. the heating scar....

I think MX3 is better than TX3. Try googling. @_@

That's what I thought so too. How could IC7 cause such a scar on the heatsink? Is it THAT efficient in transferring heat to the heatsink or the heatsink is a bit weak? My old GTX 280M's heatsink didn't have that scar. As far as I know, my temps has never when above 90 during gaming. Most was around 80.

I think ur scar appear when, "u know who" did ur repaste using ic7 incorrectly...

So far I could get TUNIQ TX3 here but I'm still looking for AC MX2 or MX3. Maybe have to go scout LowYatt Thoroughly to find it,,,,

Here's how it looked like a week ago.

Confirm....! ur purple scar start from here...

well, the ram thermal pad... is that original? seem white...

Yeah. It's the original. It looks white because of the flash. Care to explain how it happened? My GTX 280M's thermal application was way worse than that but nothing happened. Even after I played Sim City Societies at max details and achieved 95 degrees temps.

The HD5870m produce more heat than GTX 280M...
looking from the ic7 paste job, it fail to transfer the heat correctly...
unbalance n bubble trap on paste job...

correct if im wrong...

What spreading method did u use? The card method? The paste coverage doesn't seem even....

I don't know. Ask Mucro. That's their paste job.

Oh... sorry bout that. I thought you applied it. Not too good a job. And you get temps to the max of 95degrees with the 5870? WOW! High it is....

Yeah.... once when I played BFBC2. Now the max I get is 83. After reapplying the MX3 and using the paperclip method.

I need to study more before to the do the paste job... hehe... this is the nice method.. paper clip...

MX3 is a quite a tough paste to properly apply. You'd need to do a few tries before you get used to applying it. Currently, I'm using the dot method on my GPU. Not gonna touch it anytime soon since the temps are quite good.

Go get the AS5 or Tuniq TX-2@3. They're easier to apply if you use the spread method.

Seems like more people have been voting for Sager in the worst laptop brand thread. lol.....
