I redid the heatsinks with crazy glue, and noticed there was about 1/4 of the GPU with no TIM so I added a touch more TX-3. Now able to run vantage 1015/1300 no problem with 1.26v.

Thats one scary looking rad.

For ramsinks.. I use seiksui thermal tape and after cleaning and applying I hit them with my lighter to give a good bond. (I dont have a heat gun I guess I should get one)

Same thermaltape I put on them. The Thermalright stuff seemed like it was stickier, but would leave more residue on the ram chips. I guess the tape wasnt enough though (didnt heat it or anything).

Hoping to get a some good 3d runs when I get the time. Got 21904 in vantage with 980/1275 and CPU at 4480HT. Thinking 1020/1300 and CPU at 4.5HT should get me around 22.5k.
