Nvidia Quadro K4000 renewed for ETF.

[Avacado]

This card was about as dirty as I would expect for an 8 year old card. I am sure it wasn't helping the cooling. I have never seen so much thermal paste stock from the factory before, I honestly thought it was clay at first glance. Either way, she got updated to 2021 cooling standards with TR 0.5mm 11W/mk pads and TG Kryonaught. Gave the fin stacks a good once over with the datavac which opened some of the occluded channels. Finally threw in a FaH touch at the end, not bad for a paper print out. It's all for the cause. 

 

 

 

Gif for next pic.

 

 

 

 

I thought I would finally get to use that 17W/mk Fujipoly sample they sent me, but alas, 1.0mm was too think and brittle. Oh well was worth a shot.

 

 

Clean, exposing the Samsung GDDR5 modules.

 

 

Fresh new look.

 

 

And finally, a nod to my homie @BWG on the final touch.

I am still waiting on the 240 AIO to arrive today to ghetto rig to the GT710. I will see which ends up the chosen wan.

Nice project, I hope this one will work well!
And about that thermal paste, that's enough to cool every single card and CPU I have if you spread that out...

[Diffident]

That is a lot of paste.  At first, just looking at the die...I was thinking that's not that bad...I've seen the whole die area covered before.  Then I saw the next pic of the cooler.

What sort of PPD are you expecting ?

I have no idea BWG mentioned the multipliers in another thread for both. I am going to be using a 240 aio on a GT710 today to see which is better. I am looking for the best OCer , hoping to compete with the 960's. As far as straight points go, nothing compares to the Teslas vs price point. Though they have been giving me so many problems as of late and the price of newer cards keep coming down.

Looks good now.

 

I wonder if you could do some kind of voltage mod to the GT 710.

[Avacado]

This the 710. Had to make her feel like a bigger card. She has cryonaut, 11W/mk pads, conformal coating because why not. And 2 modified Noctua NF-A4x20mm fans to have active instead of passive cooling.

Well it looks like we will just have to wait and see!
