Honestly for the price we're paying for graphics cards, these practices should become standard for manufacturers.
we need to strike of gamers against planned aging
Refuse to buy deliberately poorly designed, planned obsolescent products and they will.
Always do your research before purchase and vote with your wallet.
Agree
i hope there is a company with words "create and made from gamers for gamers"
old cards were made like this lol
Man seeing 62C mem temp is so surreal lol! Another amazing video, you're crushing it!
This video inspired me to copper mode the same 3070ti Tuf gaming GPU. I did it few weeks ago and so far so good! The temperature is around 68C, but I covered cooper plates by using special liquid to prevent from shorting circuit. So that's why my temperature is a bit higher. Also, I used thermal pads to isolate memory chips.
It is hard to believe that some GPUs have a massive radiator, but such things as thermal pads don't work well!
Hi Seb, I am a follower of your channel. Have you tried copper modding? It works really great!
@@bohdansamusko yea its very interesting, alot of the reason this works as well as it does too gpus or cpus for that matter simply have thin crappy alum/copper, ive never seen a heatsink actually have a very thick alum/copper makeup at all, its insane honestly. these shims cost like 2$ or less and the companies could put them on the mem pre installed so easily, its literally like adding 100$ of performance to a product in terms of how much difference it can make, sometimes more
it doesn't work that well depending on gpu and correct thickness, not easy, i copper modded more than 12 times different gddr6x only, i just used less thickness shims than needed and i don't use thermal paste, i use thermal putty (sticky and no need for kapton tape etc as it acts as electrical isolator as well, i can keep the hottest card easily under 90c in the summer inside the farm with no fans so its all good, long time sub Sebs, keep em coming!
@@bohdansamusko how did you isolate memory chips did you put just small amount around memory chips with thermal pad ?
Ive done this on over 10 gpus so far and had incredible results each time, also on vrm/cpu/ even a desk fan ive attached like 10 shims onto its heatsink and it literally made a 50% difference, these copper shims are incredibly powerful
Hello, where can I find them?
@@Jeanpaisa89 Amazon..
I used 0.5mm thermal pads between the 1.5mm thick copper plate and the memory chips. Regular thermal pads were 2 mm thick. The effect is the same.
I can't belive this is a 6k sub channel producing this level of content. Criminally undervalued you are my friend, very very well done! You are putting multi billion dollar corpo R&D shops to shame.
Really cool stuff @Dandyworks. I just found your channel and i gotta say this "cooper mod" is about the coolest thing i've seen done on a GPU. The temperature readings speak for themselves man. Keep up the good work bro...
I appreciate the tip with the "Heat Resistant Tape". It never hurts to be safe. I'm gonna give the CoolMyGpu copper mod a try hopefully this week. I've also been adding an alluminum heat sink to the backs of my GPU plates. As I haven't done the mod yet, so any bit of cooling helps as of now. Can't wait to try this out!
Man, you are such a pleasure to watch the way you present things and talk us through the video. Subbed!
Thank you!!
It's great to hear someone who knows a little science in the PC hardware space.
More importantly, why are you making us stare at a Disney snow globe? Why is this the thing in focus???
I did some undervolting and got some pretty good results. I saw the first video you did and thought I might try the copper mod if the undervolting didn't work. So far, the undervolting is pretty close to what you're getting. However, should I decide to do the mod, I'll use your videos as reference material. Thanks for the update!
What card have you got? How much undervolt? I have a ventus 3x plus OC and wondered what the sweet spot might be
Was excited for this followup! Really clever mod.
Man, you're awesome. Love your videos and thank you for them
Glad to see it's still performing well!
I am going to do it. I was waiting for this type of product/solution instead of the complete DIY as you did in the initial video. Thanks for sharing this!! Greetings from Argentina!
how'd it go
I really enjoyed the videos you have made, I hope we see more! I am not a confident tweaker but this has made me think of giving it a shot.
I went with the CMG copper mod and it’s been great. My 3080 FE in a SFF with an overclock still sits at 69c core, 84 memory.
My stock Aorus 3080 master never breaks 70c at load and my VRAM has never seen temps past 71c so your mod wasn’t that good.
@@NorthsideChamps16cap good mod
Worked out great, lowered mine by almost 20c. Thanks!
Always fun to see such a massive improvement.
I tried it once on my powercolor 5700xt and the memory temps got worse. I think it could be that my copper shims were too thin and there might be not enough contact pressure for proper heat transfer. I'll try it again in the future with slightly thicker copper shims. But its such a pain and hassle to mod it that i've been putting it off.
Damn, this looks like a ton of work... Good job!
I’ve got a passively cooled system where I’ve had great success swapping the thermal pads for some home-made copper shims. I didn’t notice any such improvement using different thermal pastes, though. The TG Kryonaut Extreme worked just as well as MX-4 while being a bit more difficult to work on since it’s rather pudgy.
I have seen great variation in the subjective effectiveness of Kryonaut Extreme VS other pastes. For me it's always superior even if only by a degree or two C (It better be for that price!) but of course MX-4 is fantastic.
You deserve way more subs, this video is high quality.
Cool follow up vid. Those plates are nice
hey there ! very nice content, I watched the complete process and I'm very interrested in the modification of my 2 rtx 3090, but I can't figure the thickness of the copper plate. Also, are you using a plate coming from coolmygpu ? or is it a custom made ? Because as there are ram chips on the two sides I dunno what to use : big copper plate or small ones like you used on the previous video. advice needed here. Moreover, I never did such a modification on a gpu, but I feel confident.
Its amazing bro, nice vid
Good to see a follow up video! Can you tell us which copper plates u used for this card? I assume they would fit my 3080 TUF perfectly.
Buddy you're an innovator. Live the videos
Swietny materiał, to przedłuży zycie grafice.😁🍺
You have cool videos, and you are great “narrator” subscribed
Not sure if I should do this or just put good pads on, also can you link that new copper plate instead of the old shims in the desc? Wondering about resale value as well. Is thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme ok for the gpu? I keep hearing the term pushout but not sure what that means.
Nerd!!! That was awesome keep up the great work!
Watching you videos inspired me to doing this mod on gigabyte vision rtx 3080. Memory temps are way down during gaming but I also think youre right as my core temps have gone up a bit. STill pretty great when combined with a modest undervolt.
hello and congratulations on the video! really interesting!
i wanted to ask you a question, how thick are the copper thermal pads?
also, is this thickness the same for all types of rtx 3070ti (asus evga zotac etc.. ec..)?
thanks i'm waiting for your answer
Thank you!
Great vids. Where do u get the screw driver from?
Great Great Great video , I have a question please : I do have the Rog strix version of the 3070 Ti, I'm at around 75°, should I change the Asus pads ? can I buy the same copper plate as yours for my card and where please ? on of your link ?
I switched from Stock GPU cooler to AiO cooler, and managed to drop 40 degrees celsius, next i will try to get a new GPU and maybe try the Copper mod out, it looked very promising
My boy great video! What thermal pad thickness you suggest for the 3070 ti Asus Tuf?
I recommend 1.5mm thermal pads, the same size as the shims! Gelid Extremes (linked in description) have been very kind to me, and if you are willing to pay the premium I say go for those. 2mm will also work due to the nature of the dual heatsink design, but there isn’t really any performance gain using the bigger pads.
@@dandyworks thank you for the reply, i'm gunna spring for the copper plate.
edit: i spoke too soon theyre no loner accepting orders smh :(
curious. were there any performance increase (lower temps) using thermal grizzly vs mx-4?
Wow amazing, Can you give me the technical specifications of that copper plate, or the CNC drawing?
Nice that you did a follow-up.
you'll want to make 2 copper strips and add them between the Memory cooler plate and the cold plate (one replacing the thermal pad, and one on the other side of the die where the sticker is)
When I suggested this way back in the day everyone told me it was a crap Idea but I am glad to see it is alive an well. Also somehow those customs copper plates look sick.
Perhaps people shouldn't be so quick to judge one's ideas without testing them first. Thanks for watching my video!
@@dandyworks It's been that way throughout history. Anyone trying anything new is viewed with suspicion or ridiculed. The herd instinct is strong 😉 Nice videos, thanks for sharing your results 👍
Hey im interested in doing it for my msi rx 5700 xt, in theory it should work right? U think its also ok to put thin thermal pad first before the copper shim? Then lil paste on top of the copper?
Could you do a video of an overclock on this card to see how far you can push it with the better thermals? Most people that would do this would be trying to overclock it as much as thermals would allow. I'm curious what performance increase you could get with this mod.
I’ve tried your first solution and it worked great! (Same GPU as yours, my temp went fron 106 C to 76 C mining) I wanna try also this one, the 1 piece copper plate seems a lot easier to work with
Hola un abrazo, excelente video, quería preguntarte donde compras la plaqueta que utilizaste en este video, en los enlaces que dejaste no la referenciaste. Gracias
Gracias! La placa es de CoolMyGPU.com 👍
Your video that got me to purchase the copper block from CoolMyGPU and I saw a drop from 102°c on my FE RTX 3080ti while playing ready or not down to 64° c on the memory.
Hi! And what if the same thing, but with a water block? can you try it? and what is the thickness of the copper plate?
bruh thanks for the update, im literally sitting here with that card and that copper plate mod about ready to do it myself
Nice content where did you buy the copper mod from ??
Dear, excellent video, from Argentina, if it's not too much to ask, could you put the measurements to be able to cut the mod, and what material is it exactly? I just have a similar board that has temperature problems. if you could attach it in a pdf format in the form of a drawing with the exact measurements. It would be of great help to the community, best regards.
I really wish they make this mod for every card above the 10 series from nvidia
you really do not need the copper plates on anything under the 3080. good quality thermal pads will be far enough for gddr6 and below. gddr6x is the issue. far greater heat output.
would it be worth changing to K5-PRO its designed to be used on memory chips replacing thermal pads.
Hello,
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Can you please post the link from where I can order the cooper plates? What thickness do you use for Asus TUF 3070 TI?
I would also be interested in the exact measurements with a caliper. Also the measurements for the newly added copper plate. (and the link to buy).
I’ve washed cards before. No issues when dried properly. Thermal putty under and on top of the copper plate would have worked also. Performing a “squeeze fit” and pulling the card apart again to check contact of GPU before screwing everything together is also a good practice.
i have a evga 1660ti sc ultra and id love to do a copper mod but my memory does not have any cooling no pad no heatsink. only pads on the backplate so im not sure how i would mod it. and i cant monitor mem temps in the first place
Super! Nice soluction
Why do you need to put kapton tape when thermal grease is not conductive? and is it possible for the copper shims to be removed completely? meaning, the memory chips directly contacting to the sub-heat sink?
Kapton tape is a safety precaution taken to prevent any copper from making contact with components mounted to the PCB. Sometimes, a capacitor or resistor will sit above the plane of the memory chip, and if the copper was touching that component, there is basically a 100% chance that component will blow up. It is possible for the sub-heatsink to make direct contact with the memory chips. This is pretty much unique to this GPU in particular though.
is there any full copper plate for gtx 1070 or only small copper pads??
Careful with MX4. It separates over time with GPUs based on my history. Would recommend GC Extreme over it.
True, especially when temperature exceeds 70~75°c. High viscosity pastes last longer on direct-core chips. Kryonaut, NT-H1 / 2 and MX-4 are more suited for heat spreader equipped chips
SUBBED. you rule dude
how thikness copper use for gpu vram?, i using 1.5mm thikness why that temp is getting higher? start from 60-65° than i use copper temp up to 88° need some guidance
out of all the copper mod vids i've seen, i like yours the best. you're the only person i've seen that used that tape to protect from shorts. my 3090 blew itself up after only 3 months right in the middle of the gpu crisis and i had to put my old gtx 560 ti back into my brand new gaming computer because i literally couldnt find a replacement for 7 months. im not gonna make that mistake again. gonna make sure my new card is nice and cool.
If you browse the internet, there a lot of videos expertly done with kapton tapes recommendations a year ago. He just picked it up the use from these videos.
Hold on a minute, there’s absolutely no difference in moisture level between air cooling and water cooling as long as your loop isn’t leaking, and if your loop is leaking on to your graphics card, it’s gonna get fried before it has a chance to corrode. So there’s no reason you couldn’t use copper shims for water cooling, just make damn sure you get the correct size.
Did you reseat the original solution and measured 110°C again? maybe it wasn't mounted well by factory
how about i put a thermal pad beetween copper and aluminium?Can corrosion still occur?thx for someone answer this
Hello where do you found your full cooper mod because I prefer to use that than the 15mmx15mm
good question where I can get that copper plate?
I’m so curious to see what would happen if placing a thin cooper plate on the die. Would it cause a short? Or would it make the temps better?
not a good idea in any way shape or form.... never ever do this lol. the heatsink plate is usually not perfectly smooth, the die itself is probably not perfectly level, and the copper plate you will use is not perfectly smooth. the distance between the heatsink and the die is minimal, the thermal paste does plenty good job of filling that space effectively and with good thermal transfer. you wouldnt see much benefit at all doing a copper plate. you would probably crack the die
Good job with these two videos. Fantastically well done. Soooooo.... You in CA? How does one pay a dude to do this? Set up shop my dude!
Hahaha, not in CA, but I wouldn’t mind modding people’s GPUs for them. Good idea!
excellent work💯👍🏻❤️
Keep going We learn from you We wish you all the best🤗💋
Haha, you made exactly the thing I commented on your last video (which I watched 10 mins ago)...pretty cool
De cuántos mm usaste los thermal de cobre para la tarjeta grafica?
What should be the thickness of the pads used? 2mm? Thanks
exact same card and exact same application, 1 month in I was getting close to 100c memory temps so I opened it and one of the copper shims at the bottom left of the card moved down. it wasn't touching anything to short and burn the gpu but that was scary af. switched it with a slightly thicker one and when reassembling the card I screwed the bottom half of the card first and a bit tighter before screwing in the top side. now it's doing fine. 180w, 82mh, 88c memory on %70 fan
ok its been 1 year.. how is that card..? did the thermal paste dryout..?
This was such a great video because now it works really well now and it was working really bad before but then I watched this and turned around and it was working soooo well so thank you so much because I didn’t know what I was gonna do and it reminds me of the time that my dog was running in circles and I was worried she wasn’t okay so I looked up on the internet what to do and then she stopped going in circles and I was so happy I gave her a treat and then we started playing with her favorite tennis ball she was so happy
Good upgrade😁
Hi! I just did the mod with the little copper plates from your other video. I am so happy, that i didn't short anything... yet... My memory temp dropped from 90 to 70 :-D Thank you for the tutorial. But do I need to change it the thermal paste every month? Or how long can I use it like this when I am mining? And do I have to live in fear, that there could be a shortage every moment? Because I am a little bit scared now :-D Thanks for the answers
Some people say you should change paste every X months, while others say you never need to. I usually change paste every 6 months just because I can, and it gives me a chance to clean my GPU. If you have modded your GPU correctly, I would not live in fear. But I would also perform a visual inspection every so often to makes sure everything is fine. Also, if your GPU is sitting horizontal, I certainly wouldn't worry about shims moving. They won't.
Thank you for the answer. Putting the card horizontal is a good idea 💡
Subscribing now. Thanks for the vids
Hi plz what s the thickness of the copper mod? I have same rtx3070ti Tuf OC.
the actual heatsinks makes contact with that memory copper heatsink at the point the subheatsink stops, its not a huge deal but its still extra thermal transfer left on the table, just do it when you need to repaste it
What if you apply a thermal pad directly on the die with a copper shim on top?
thanks for all the info ....Where did you get the copper plat you use in this video
found the answer
I was looking for doing it, but a comment made me realize if there's too much pressure (or a micro bump) between the shim that the chips that may snap the chip. Since it requires 1.5 mm of thermal pads on that Tuf 3070ti, does the 1.5 mm shim plus the extra thermal paste prevented any contact elsewhere? I'm still tempted to do my 3 cards.
As long as the shim is correctly applied, there should not be a risk of compressing BGA solder joints to failure. Additionally, a correctly applied shim with thermal paste should lead to adequate contact everywhere else on the PCB. I’d do some more research for your specific GPU though!
Добрый день, уважаемый а можно у вас взять размеры данной пластины или чертеж с размерами. Если это не большой секрет. У меня такая же карта и уже устал бороться с перегревами по памяти! Буду ждать ответа, спасибо.
Nice to see you bought some good screwdrivers this time around....
I mean, unless the thermal paste goes dry or the card is under load and is usage 24/7 for a year, some sort of degradation probably won't appear for a really long time.
İ did copper pad mods on my 2 rtx6600 it worked fine but when i apply on my 3080ti it just blows with the shortage i think i didnt use enough kapton type
Great video i have 6700xt sapphire pulse where do i find copper plat that matches my gpu?
why didnt you use the kapton first and then paste afterwards ??
Is this also available for other gpus? Like 7800xt, 7900xt, 7900xtx?
Would this plate work on a ROG Strix 3070ti? This gaming temps are great!
what about using thermal glue? wouldnt that be safer to do as it would avoid the shims shifting around
Why would it change after only a month? its not like anything is moving on the PCB...
I am very interested in doing this cause recently the thermal pads on my 2080 have started going down hill and the VRAM is now reaching around 85C when previously it was at 60C I don't have any thermal pads on me and I already have decent thermal paste and on Ebay the copper IC Chips are around the same price as the thermal pads
loved this video
Thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme is literally the kryonaut but its made to stand -190º for ln2 overclocking, you dont need to spend that much
Why doesn't coolmygpu have a plate for the Asus Tuf 3080 ti?
