If I remove the shrouds from my 5870s would I need to buy new thermalpads for when I put it back together again?

Blargh.

How much is said glue remover and where can I get it in the UK? I got my last lot of paint from B&Q

I used nail polish remover and bandageglue remover. Took maybe 15min to wipe it off on each card. Can get it in the drugstore or at the supermarked.

Okay. And the thermal pads would work after removing the shroud still or?

Yes they should work. Just make sure they dont fall off or get misplaced.

Thanks. Out of curiosity are they just solidified thermal paste or small silver slabs or something?

solidified thermal pads. They stick to the surface u add them to.

I have asked Gigabyte if they could sponsor me with a MB(ud7,ud5) and graphics. really hope they check my logg and that they like it. Wish me luck.

 

[SparkleDJackson]

So you can ask to be sponsored

Interesting!!!

 

[yassarikhan786]

Good luck with the sponsorship mate, you deserve it

Yup, totally agree. With the time and effort you put into your work Gigabyte should definitely consider sponsoring you.

Thanks friends. Its a long project, and it surely cost alot. The water cooling alone is about 800£, but i really dont wanna sum up the cost, hehe. Doing this as a hubby and to have something funny to do at my free time. A sponsor would help some on budget, but the main reason im asking Gigabyte is that i totally love many theire products. Also been hearing that Gigabyte have exellent suport.

Ive ordered the Raystorm from XSPC, tubing, Swiftech HydrX Coolant and a syringe. Will order the fittings tomorrow. Almost got everything i need, except the cpu and MB ofc.

This block will lokk exellent in my system with the blue, gold and black theme.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Awesome mate. That CPU Block is the best looking block I have seen

.

Yup, it looks nice with the blue LED glow.

 

[SparkleDJackson]

Yeah i think so too. After seing the test review i just had to get it. Was going for the EK HF but this one has better low restriction/thermal and also nicer design.
