For GPU 1mm seems too much. Honeywell ptm7950 is 0.2mm and works perfectly for me.

Hey hey! Yea, same experience here almost, I've used Honeywell ptm7950, temps are awesome. And ZMT is godlike =D https://builds.gg/builds/nv7-black-with-ek-zmt-soft-tubes-and-red-rgb-theme-35942 Here's my build, rly enjoyed ZMT and Alphacool COre with Honeywell pad, temps are similar to yours

Sorry, not ready to disassemble the loop to take pictures, but here are some of my observations: Only one far corner standoff was slightly short, so i didnt screw it completely, left it half tightened. Bowing at GPU area happenes if I try to tighten screws around gpu die too much even without...

What type of crack you're talking about? Should I worry? I've applied PTM7950 2 days ago, temps are good. I dont have any torque screwdriver, so I couldnt measure torque. Just tried to be as gentle as possible, holding thin screwdriver with 2 fingers, barely tightened all of the screws...

My Alphacool Core waterblock for Red Devil 7900 XTX finally arrived and I've made first tests. Luckily it seems like at least that waterblock model (for the Red Devil) works as intended. Although I didnt use provided thermal paste. I ordered some Honeywell ptm7950, a Phase Change Material, and...

That is some nice info and testing, thank you! I also thought about mem thermal pads being too thick/hard, preventing gpu die from good cotact with waterblock.

Worst thing is that in some countries we lose GPU warranty by removing stock air cooler from it. And in the end you pay 350$+ just to have same or worse temps and loose warranty? Thats too many users with same issue, please Alphacool help us

To me it seems like if you overtighten screws - PCB bends and GCD loses contact with waterblock. If you use 1nm torque - pressure isnt enough to squeeze thermal pads on memory chips and GCD again isnt making contact with waterblock. Maybe we should try thinner thermal pads waterblock side...

Then probably our only choice is liquid metal? And maybe some testing with non conductive wasters on standoffs?

Is that ok hotspot temp for AMD GPU? I thought water cooled we should expect lesser temps. I have 85C hotspot on my stock air cooled 7900 XTX Red Devil with default settings in Timespy benchmark too. But thats aircooled so I expected way less temps with waterblock

Those are exactly my concerns too, yep. Disassembling loop multiple times to troubleshoot GPU waterblock proper installation would be a huuuge pain. Or I can make it easier if i order 2 quick disconnects, but still. Am I supposed to fix possible engineering mistake by investing money into...

Wish i was covered by consumer rights... Had to order it from Aliexpress though. Well, expecting some troubles then :c

I’ve ordered Core waterblock for my Red Devil 7900 xtx and just found this thread while still waiting for delivery. Makes me worry now. Are those problems mainly on Eisblock Aurora? Or Core series waterblocks are affected too?
