8RDA+ Thermal Images

pretty interesting, it backs up pretty much everything i've seen talked about putting out heat by Elusion etc.

i would like some clarification though, i've been asking this since i got my 8rda+..... does the northbridge just not put out much heat or does that stock heatsink and/or thermal interface material just not transfer heat well....

the stock heatsink is does not have a good contact sometime to the NB..... it is always good to remove the thermal pad and put some AS3 and add a fan

Thanks for the link Demont, interesting to see all the hot points on the mobo. Makes you think about buying some heatsinks.

BUMP everyone who owns an 8rda/+ should see this.

also, he added images of the back side of the board. proving that the NB does in fact put out lots of heat and its stock heatsink is not making good contact and/or sucks.

Very cool pics!

I would like to see another shot of the NB after he removes the bubble gum and puts some AS on it.
