Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Ultra W OC 8G with a hotspot problem and, depending on the test program, also sometimes with a black screen. But since it’s a community article, I’m not going to hijack the text and slip in the merits. That’s why big-maec is now simply having his say…
The graphics card was bought by me in used condition and unfortunately I can’t tell you anything about the card’s previous history. To tackle the hotspot problem, I used the Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet (a graphene thermal pad) for the GPU this time and the Arctic TP-3 pad for the rest. The graphene thermal pad is used because the pad is not subject to normal aging as is the case with traditional thermal paste. I will simply report in several steps what I did in order to reach my goal in the end.
First a few pictures so you can see what the card looks like. First from the front at an angle…
… then from diagonally above:
How the hotspot problem looks in CPU-Z and Furmark can then be seen from the values. For this I run Furmark…
… and get annoyed about the temperatures:
Yes, I’m stuck in the temperature window and when I try to look out of it, I quickly see that it’s night. It’s also called a black screen and the howling of the wolves, sorry fans. I quickly realized that it couldn’t stay that way, so I took the card apart first.
