I did some minor mods that I saw in another thread on the evga forums. I wasn't sure how much it would actually end up helping, and I am pleasantly surprised!
I added heatsinks (from an old gpu) around the nb cooler. I was running at about 52c beforehand with the coolermaster fan mod I did previously. This mod ended up dropping me to about 49-50c after some p95 runs.
The main thing that this mod ended up doing is allowing me to run my cpu with .5v less than I previously needed in order to be prime stable! That's an awesome drop in vcore for some little heat sinks...
I used to need 1.5v to be stable @ 3.6ghz, anything less and she would bluescreen immediately. Now I am able to run 3,6ghz @ 1.44v while being completely stable
The voltage decrease ended up dropping my temps about 7c, on average, while running p95 small ftt.
I am very pleased with how this went with this little effort. I really appreciate the guys over at the evga forums as well, check out the original thread!
