New Heatsink for P370 and GTX 1070

Sup guys,

Looking around the web i found this LINK



Is this heatsink good for the bigger 1070 and 1080 (i dont know the name)?



Or they can be used for the small ones?





Any ideas guys?!

 

Nope, that is the GPU heatsink from the P775TMx, only works for Clevo cards shaped like this:

 

Yes that's wrongly advertised. The P370SM heatsink has a big plate covering the whole GPU, and two large strips for vram chips on only 2 sides of the core (not the 3 for the Clevo)

There is no 'special' p370/p375/p377 heatsink for MSI 1070, stock fits fine. Frame needs modding for the MSI, not heatsink.

 

Thanks guys! this is what i was thinking but sometimes is good to ask around..

 

Np. BTW That eBay seller "upgradeyourlaptop" is Eurocom. I think it's pretty sketchy of them to sell a heatsink that neither fits the P370SM nor MXM 3.0b form factor cards. Reeks of false advertisement to me. And they do not allow returns either.

 

Standard mxm can't fit ram either side of the core which was part of the issue with the 1080.

 

I'm looking around because my card when playing stuff gets around 90ºC and that's freaking dangerous i already lost one card (will ship to @t456 ) and i don't wanna lose this one tried Gears 4 and only doing the benchmark my card goes beyond 80ºC easy:



That`s why i'm looking around for alternatives (by the way is all metalled with nail polish to protect around)

 

anyone ( @Meaker@Sager @bennyg) has any ideas into what i could do to make it more cool?

 

Replace the thermal pads and make them thinner if possible was always my first move.

 

My fear is the one i have now too thin arctic vooling 0,5mm Heat conduction Pad 145x145mm 6w/mk

any recomendations?!

 

@Meaker@Sager do you have any link for a proper thermalpad or something in those lines?!

 

ok! looking in the forum found this TOPIC

and this pic:

 

I use a 0.5mm and 1mm sheet then stack if needed.

 

Maybe you want to start hwinfo64 and then start prime95 to test GPU and then 3dmarkfirestrike or mafia 3 demo to test GPU, then post the temps.

 

I was thinking into stack 0,5mm for all

I've always used hwinfo64 (for me is the best) will test prime95 and let it run for one hour the same for the gpu tests, i let 3DMark tests run but just for benchmark and furmark will get the others and let them run for longer.

Well i was thinking that a good possibility for my temps going bad can be this thick thermal pad that i have, and it probably has a very bad thermal condutivity...

By the way the blue is the 0,5mm Arctic one

 

Liquid metal which you've done.
Fill any gaps around the fan housing and rad grills with tape or foam chunks
Blast air then water/isopropyl/metho in the rad grills to clean thoroughly
Check heatpipes for bends which affect core contact
I also cut a hole in the bottom case and covered them with a thin wire mesh for less restrictive airflow intakes

I prefer a squishier kind of thermal pad, like the green kind that come stock on Clevo. Fractions of a mm can make all the difference to core contact and pressure, and being able to see where the chips/chokes/fets etc leave an impression on the pad means I know when there's good contact which is important as there are no temp readings from VRMs or memory on these GPUs.

You have a max fans key combo right? The auto setting on the P370EM would let its components heat up above 90C before spinning up the fans to full.

The 1070s at stock would settle at around 70C on master and low 80s on slave in the P370EM in winter ambient 15-20C. That was before I added the watercooling ofc

 

Thermal grizzly pads have a nice amount of give in them too and don't cost the earth.

 

Hey @bennyg you don't count freaking magus of notebook with your sli and watercooling the fan key combo is the fn+1 you mean? it get stuck at 75ºC, oh yeah every point that u mentioned i did (clean, pipes with no bends, hole cut and mesh placed) i even let it run like 5 times just to make sure. If i don't run with the fans at 100% the temp goes through the roof, i will change the pads, right now i only have 0,5mm and here in Brazil they're gutting the less $$ favoured like a simple sheet costs around $40 bucks with taxes converting the brl to usd in a proportion of 4x1 so yeah rough right now

I've tried @xwhmm software to let me lock the GPU fan at 100% when playing but did not work as i intended @Danishblunt even mentioned that the EC losing control with this kind of software.

 

This is how you cool a 4940MX @ 4ghz.

 

Have the how to?? not joking i'm really bad when comes to this

 

That screen was made back when I had my working P157SM-A, amient was very low, but in a nutshell heatsink mod.

My P375SMA has the CPU right now. It will have a similair mod, I'll probably make a thread once clevo extreme finally gets going...

 

Hmm will wait for it so i can at least copy
