  1. The real gains are going to be HBM2, but it's going to be a bit of a double edged sword as HBM2 equipped Pascal video cards are probably going to be crap in a price to performance comparison vs Maxwell and GDDR5X equipped Pascal, I don't know where the GDDR5X cards are going to end too. But yeah, that 400% performance gain is probably a bit exaggerated unless that was at 4k or the old trick that Nvidia and AMD use to hype their cards up and use a relative performance per watt scale. AMD's Richard Huddy said in an interview that they know they can reach 5nm with silicone but that it becomes more difficult after 10nm. What I took from that is that they do have a way to shrink beyond 10nm. I can't post links right now unfortunately, but if you want to see the interview, search YouTube for "interview with AMD's Richard Huddy", the interview is on Techteam GB's channel. If nothing else, it's a really interesting interview.
  2. I've given up on this and sold my 980 Ti. So close to Maxwell EOL and the release of Pascal, I just don't see the point of it anymore. Hopefully Corsair don't balls up the bracket for the GTX 1080 or whatever Nvidia decide to call it.
  3. I'm looking forward to Corsair releasing a revised version, though I am sceptical due to the initial release. I definitely won't be rushing to purchase the revised bracket though and hopefully some reviewers will get hold of it this time and Corsair will deservedly be publicly slaughtered if it's another bad release.
  4. Yeah, that's the main benefit of whacking a CLLC on a GPU really. I'm sick of heat from the GPU being exhausted inside my case, I'm not really sure how effective the blower fan will be though, considering the bracket isn't a closed bracket like that of the Hydro GFX.
  5. That's exactly what I mean. I can get a maximum temperature of 65° C using aggressive air cooling or 75° C using a quiet fan profile, whereas you should be beating my maximum temperatures easy with minimal fan speed; the fact that I'm matching your temps with air cooling at all is just a little shocking.
  6. Personally, I wouldn't be happy with those temps atall. I get 65° C max with my ACX 2.0+ cooled, overclocked 980 Ti @ 1.23v with an aggressive fan curve.
  7. In the meantime, I think Corsair should start selling cookies in the run up to Christmas. No Christmas is complete without finely engineered cookies.
  8. TTL got a maximum temperature of 56° C in a very extended run of Heaven with a heavily overclocked Sea Hawk. Not too bad considering the Sea Hawk only has a H55, but still a little bit off from the competition.
  9. I think the problem there is that Corsair are still investigating whether there are any more faults other than the screw mix-up. So theoretically, if Corsair were going to sell a potentially faulty (which I seriously doubt they will) product for the end user to mod with the help of a guide written by Corsair... they don't know of any other faults to write a guide to fix them. I believe in some regions that it is illegal to sell a brand new consumer product without a warranty too, but Mattlach might know a bit more about that than I do.
  10. Dunno why, but I'm picturing Jeff in a white lab coat and monocle dissecting a HG10 N980.
  11. It seems like some HG10 N980's might have came with the correct screw kit whilst others didn't.
  12. Well you could connect it to the motherboard and then place a thermal sensor near the VRM and use the temperature reading from that sensor to control the fan.
  13. I would go for some quality 3m double sided thermal tape.
  14. That's what I mean, if the HG10 comes with screws, you're not using the original screws that came with the video card so the screw length of them doesn't matter.
  15. The PCB of the 1996, 4990, 4991, 4992, 4993 and 4995 are exactly the same though; all Nvidia built reference boards. The screws may be different on the completely reference cards though, but I assume that the HG10 comes with its own screws to mount the CLLC block?
