no.. havent fixed it yet.. im still debating on which problem to tackle first and which product to buy for it.. any suggestions? im thinking start with the vid card cooling, but i dont know if that pci blower thing is gonna cut it, so should i just get that first or only a new heatsink/fan or both and which ones.. im reading alot of reviews off newegg and cant decide.. i really dont want to spend more than $50, $40 if i can get away with it.. or do i start with a new heatsink/fan for my cpu and then which one.. so many choices, so much reading.. i just dont want to waste my money any more on this thing with products that arent gonna work.. ya know?

use a toothpick to spread the as5 ok?dont sdo the plastic bag trick
other then that pretty easy...make sure you have a thin layer with no creaves in it.thats kind of a pain but its not that hard and when you get done and put them together dont slide the puppy around.you want to drop in place perfectly and then clamp or screw ok?...peace hope you get it sorted out...give me a shout...peace

ok, got the fan off (with a little force).. but it peeled right off.. it left some sort of paste behind.. its kinda peach.. and looks like it spilled over the edge of the gpu itself and into the outer circuit board (but not the card it self).. so i guess im gonna scrape off what i can, use some alcohol, and then put on the as5.. that right?

dont scrape...damn you have some nice words...lol...use the alcohl on that gpu and the ram chips and the metal part of heatsink make sure its all clean and dry.then apply the as5 and after thin layer then put it together....put enough so when you put it together there is no gap between the heatsink and the gpu....peace

ok, well, its put back together.. i didnt put any on the ram tho.. i read that that stuff doesnt harden.. so i figured it might get on some other stuff inside.. dont want that.. so, should i let this sit for awhile before i put it back in? or fire it up right away?

you were suppose to put a small drop in the center of the thermal ram pads on the heatsink...or on the ram chip themselves...too late now.....try it probably going to get funny in the middle of play like artifacting and such......if it does take it apart and do it right...lol...peace...you have t9o clean off all you put on and off the ram chips and start all over...it may work if you didnt clean off the thermal pads and theres still some there,probably not though....hope it works....later

wait, i was SUPPOSED to leave the thermal pad on there? the website said to remove everything..and then reapply the arctic silver.. so before i put this back in should i buy a thermal pad or something? i dont want to short anything out or something.. i didnt put anything on the ram chips themselves, should i?? you thnk that will help alot? im new to this arctic silver stuff.. so i appreciate the help..
ok, so let me clear it up step by step:
1. take off the fan
2. clean off the gpu and heatsink/fan
3. apply thermal pad
4. apply arctic silver to gpu and heatsink/fan thermal pad
5. clean ram chips
6. apply arctic silver to ram chips
7. reinstall card
is that right? well, im off to the chargers game.. be back later tonight.. thanks again

yea those thermal pads you threw away help keep the ram chips cool.you wont short anything out though...lol
what may happen is the game will freeze or shut down...i dont know if you can buy those little pads for the ram chips.....thats why i wrote what to do .the gpu is probably fine but once you break the seal you have to start all over again.......those little pads that were around the gpu that go over you memory are needed to cool your memory and you threw them away......i hope you can find them in your pc store...so read carefully:
put a layer on the gpu[this is a layer not so thin that you can see the writing the says ati or what ever that says-mines nvidia
next put a drop of as5 in the center of ram chips-those are those black things on the video board-between 6-8 you know right
next make sure there is no gap between anything when you put it together-look through the side
lastly put in pc enjoy...lol...peace bro...i tried to help you

ok, well, i think im fine then.. cuz i didnt touch the ram chips.. just the gpu.. but i cleaned the gpu off completely (thats what there site said to do) and then put the arctic silver on it and the heatsink/fan, then put it back together.. sooooo, is that ok then? the ram chips are untouched.. but honestly it doesnt look like there is anything on them to begin with tho... let me know.. thanks again
