So I'm looking at the different blocks, the new core blocks also fill in the sides of the card. Part of the bowing comes from the backplate bending with the card, the core editions looks like it should not have this issue. Is anybody running a care edition of this block that can post pictures of...

So far it only seems to be an issue with xfx merc 310 7900xtx cards, so you should be good with your card

So is there anybody in this thread with issues that is happening to a 7900xtx not from xfx or is it just the xfx cards? Ik asking because I find it hard to believe that all other versions of this card are without issue.

@Vanzin, I remounted with 0.4nm on all bolts since I was unable to get any more on them without destroying the bolts. This did however give me a big bow in the pcb, even worse with this spec I now have issues where the card stops working when I put any load on it. The screen simply turns off...

So I remounted my block with 0.4nm, any more and I would be stripping the screws completely. This created a bow in my board as you would not believe. But Sadly I am unable to post any temps because since the remount, the GPU just shuts down when you put a little load into it. I get a black...

Hi, Vanzin. I just tested, 1nm is to much for the bolts, the Philips heads can't handle that spec, are you sure about this?

this is my setup: (in short I have a 280mm rad purely for the GPU) the GPU out of the case: checking for bowing: the impressions from the paste and pads: and the state of the washers: (before and after temps will come later...since those files are on the pc) Last edit: tested 1nm...

So I have been watercooling since my 9800gx2 days, and mounted more cards then I can count because I also do this for friends. Since I was also getting very high temps and deltas in the 50c to the point of the card crashing and not showing any output at times so I decided to tear it apart. I...

Thank you for the information so far, that confirms my suspicions that I will have to remount. I did try to torque every screw the same amount, but only by feel because the manual does not show any torque numbers. Since you mentioned it, do you by any chance have any torque numbers to spec too ?

hi, I currently have a 7900xtx running with a alphacool waterblok on its own custom loop with a 280mm full copper rad. The general temp of the GPU seems to idle around 33 and under full load it will reach around 50, so far so good. The issue I am having is that sometimes the card crashes to...
