Guys I accidentally the thermal adhesive.
Just throw it in the oven bro
Jesus christ OP, how much did you use??
>>55626490
Do you think my RX 480 will resolder itself?
>>55626466
if you didnt break the guarantee put the cooler back and send it back, your'e lucky if the technicians remove the cooler and think its their fault
>thermal adhesive
I think you bought the wrong product
just put it back on the card you'll be fine. If it doesn't work then just wiggle the cooler around until you can play the gayms
Ur supposed to warm the adhesive before removing, silly

What cooler is that?
Aftermarkets aren't out yet, are they?
>>55626831
Probably a 3rd party cooler on a reference board.

>RX 480
and nothing of value was lost
>>55626522
that's pretty clearly not the stock cooler.
>>55626917
I know right? They're so cheap that they're pretty much disposable!
>>55626831
Pretty sure it's an Arctic Accelero variant
...So... This is the power of Radeon...
>>55626996
This is the power of people who put the wrong thermal compound on their GPU.

Seriously, I thought Polaris was super weak or something and was worried since I'm putting a cooler on it but it's just some dumbass that used thermal adhesive.
this was on reddit.com/r/techsupportgore
idiot used arctic silver thermal adhesive instead of the thermal compound

I call bullshit--you usually have to mix that stuff together to activate the adhesive.
>>55627563
Read the thread, that's exactly what he did
Meanwhile...
>>55627582
For what purpose?
>>55627616

Are you really this fucking tech illiterate op?
>>55629281
Unlucky, this happened to my coworker when he tried to pry a phenom off a thermal glued stock amd cooler, the entire copper plate came off the substrate and seeing as amd isn't jewish and the tim between the copper and the die is soldier.. well..
>>55626466
Yes, yes you did.
>>55626466
>>55626481
I don't see the problem here, just an idiot wasting money, kek.
>>55626917
I got 3, even though I can only run two in CF, one's just for backup, doing some ultra OC with silent cooling.
>>55627596
It still need a fan for the chipset and power converters faggot.
