The
VIce heatsink comes with a preinstalled adhesive thermal pad
so it's really easy to install, once the lapping have been done
that is. I recommend taking off the fan from the heatsink before
you stick it to the board. This just makes it easier to work
with. Here's a pic of the the video card with the VIce II Xtreme
installed and ready to test.
15
minutes of Unreal looping was enough to heat the chip at it's
max temperature. All temperatures readings were taken with the
temp. Probe that comes with my motherboard. I shut down the
computer between each test to let the card cool down. All tests
were done with the case open.
