I have replaced all pads with Thermal Grizzly minus pad 8 and the paste with Kyronaut. Temps are down but inspecting the block while out of the machine I have to comment on the chosen design. As someone who's been watercooling for over twenty years I'm at a loss to understand why the fluid when...

1mm pads yes?

Card is factory assembled with the Alphacool block. I have disassembled but didn't take pics. I've ordered new pads as the existing ones did not look good and there was way too much thermal paste on the core. I've also ordered an Eiscontrol as even if I had the adaptor my motherboard doesn't do...

OK, so the little cable is an Alphacool only connector that needs an adaptor to connect it to any motherboard. Or to buy an Eiscontrol (unavailable in the UK right now) :(

Should the supplied Aphacool block be cooling the memory on this card? Card is throttling with the RAM hitting 110C. Secondly, there is a weird 3-pin cable coming off the block.I assume for RGB but it doesn't look like any motherboard header. Where should this go?
