Hey all I'm up to no good again
I'm planning to purchase a EVGA GTS 250 1gb I can get for a good price and being a *picky* modder I must install aftermarket solutions on to it however there is an image of the reference models EVGA sells that worries me a bit. Oh and I will only want the video card in black PCB and good warranty so I'm not buying alternatives.
Now the core area that's no problem but it's the vregs on the right side under the power plug that is a bit trouble some.
Now I do know there are no one piece solutions for that design of vregs positioning so here is my question.
Will Tweakmonster BGA ram sinks and Thermaltape 3m 8815 both I already have be sufficient to cool that section down? Assuming the vregs variable make the same amount of heat as vregs from a 9800gtx+/9800GT. (which I have no knowledge of) Also this is going into a PASSIVE set up so please take that to consideration and the ambient temperatures where I live can go up to 33 Celsius during the summer. The cooler that is going over the core is a HR-03GT.
Tweakmonster ram sinks (copper)
Tech sheet for 8815 thermal tape which I highlighted in yellow
Air flow design in the case since this is planned passive (ignore details in vga section)
