Pls dont stop doing what u do, its so underrated content .

[@xtiancanoy]

Love this card. Very detailed video. You earned my sub. Keep it up.

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Many Thanks man! Much Appreciated! Take care.

[@TheWerest]

Thats very handy! I dont know, why is it so hard to get info about thermal pads thickness

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

I know, that's one of my reason why i made this channel..a lot of people searching for the information they need but some struggle to find one. Glad to hear my videos help others. Thanks bro!

[@SalTeeVee]

Hi I wanted to ask. When installing the new thermal pads. Why did you use two different versions? Also, what thickness were they? since the links in your description show 1.5mm thermal pads but in the video you show when measuring them that they are 1mm thickness? Oh and did you add new thermal pads to the screw in heatsinks too. Were they 1mm thickness too? I'm confused as to which ones I should buy or does it not matter?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Hi bro! sorry for the confusion regarding on my videos..all the links on the Description are only reference only for parts and tools related to whats in the video..but not necessarily exactly the same on what's in the video. Whatever measurements you see in the video is the ACTUAL THICKNESS based on my personal observation about the materials. And regarding the two different color of pads i've used, that would happened sometimes on my tutorial videos due to sometimes the pads that i've used run out and not enough for the whole areas to cover, so i've used other brand of Pads whatever is available during the Tutorial, that's the reason sometimes they have different color but they are exactly the same thickness for sure only the Brand and color is different..hehehe! Thanks for your comment bro! appreciated!

[@SalTeeVee]

Thank you for the detailed response! I understand perfectly now how to do everything. This video has helped out lots​

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

You're welcome bro! and thank you for the support! Enjoy!

[@bluetech2809]

I'm going to remove the black plastic shroud with the fans because they're so loud, especially at around 60% fan speed and above, and replace them with two regular 120mm fans (via an adapter I already used on a different GPU). Could you tell me which of the two black and white connectors is the fan controller and which is for the light?

[@Bissimp]

Thank you very much, was thinking in painting my gpu but I was afraid of the dissasembly and thermal pad and paste replacements! Any good thermal pads to buy from Amazon?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

No worries bro! Yes, loads to choose from Amazon..Arctic TP-3, GELID, SYY etc.

Thanks for the video, I have that card, its fast but the downside is that it's loud so i moved it to my workstation instead of my main gaming gpu, overall its the best card i have. What it has LED 1:46 connector? I don't see mine having led lights?

[@daroooo1983]

Did you try test temperature without the backplate? It is made of plastic so it cumulates heat on the back side indtead of conducting heat and emmising it out of the card like metal backplates do.

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

the plastic backplate serves as protection cover of the outer side of the pcb. No, i haven't tried to use this gpu without the backplate.

[@SteHKroll]

I realy want to watercooler its that possible? And about changing the backplate?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

That depends which gpu cooler that you want..there are few options like MZXT Kraken G Series gpu cooler, EK Block conversion kit & corsair. You should check the compatibility of your gpu.

[@rodo97209]

bro do you know thermal pads thickness MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT MECH OC? is it the same of 6700? Thank you!!

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Hi Bro! I can't confirm the 6600 xt pads thickness..I've tried to gather some researched about the info from MSI site and other blog post from other owner, but unfortunately can't find one bro. I am assuming it should be the same thickness with RX 6700 xt MECH that is 1mm thickness..you can't go wrong using a 1mm on that particular card. just make sure use a good quality Thermal Pads and a Soft one like the ARCTIC TP-3 or equivalent pads.

[@Hattori0ni]

Thx you so much. Thats exactly what i looking for!

[@hendiwijaya3711]

hi your video is really help me but i have one question. can i use 0.5mm thermal pads?

[@Siros]

No, the pads need to make good contact with the heatsink or else it won't do anything.

[@mArvAlcao71]

do you have any idea of the size of each type of screws on that GPU?

[@slingman1074]

Great tutorial good job

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Thanks bro, appreciated! Take care.

[@nur_spec]

Do you happen to recall the size/dimensions of those vram chips? Are they 14mm x 12mm?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Sorry all my hardware just come and go on my studio so quickly. I cannot check this for you anymore. Take care!

[@jonasantonio1327]

Nice video. 1mm is the official size thermal pads?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

That's right bro! 1mm thickness on pads..

[@lilbun3893]

i heard the 6750xt version runs warm. do you think corsair 4000d airflow case and 3 intake/2 exhaust fans will help?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

That case is brillant performer..if possible to fill all the Fan slot available, do it mate! And if you want your GPU to perform its best, never go for VERTICAL POSITION and use a PCIe ext. cable..Direct contact to the PCIe GPU & MOBO is the best., and if your Case allow..Use three 120mm or two 140mm INTAKE from the buttom of the case UPWARDS cause Heat direction normally goes Upwards direction. And the TOP FAN SHOULD BE EXHAUST. that make a big difference.

[@JozieKS]

It is I’m at 72c most of the time

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

This temp is average for heavy loads..which is really good

That's a really good paste bro..one of the best i've used.

[@stAn1398]

what are the specs of the fuse of that gpu? I need purchase some for replacement. Thank you

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

sorry bro, I can't give you the right answer of your question..I never go through that deep on this tutorial, this tutorial is only for Basic information on disassembly, Fans, pads and paste info. I hope a have the answer of that question.

[@allhall0ws]

hey! so i was planning on painting this GPU shroud and backplate white, but i have never disassembled a GPU before and i'm nervous about it do you think its possible to remove the backplate from the PCB without having to replace the thermal pads or repasting the GPU die? i'm worried that when i take off the heatpipes from the PCB, that the thermal pads will end up ripping off and i would have to replace them repasting the GPU isn't that big of a deal, but having to cut out the thermal pads in the right shape for each memory module seems a bit annoying

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Unfortunately, you have to remove the Chunky heatsink to access those screws that holds the Plastic backplate. Those screws that holds the VRM's strip heatsink is on the middle part of the pcb..that needs to be remove as well bro so you can fully detach the backplate from the pcb. I know is a bit annoying isn't it! 🙄😔

[@BALLUTA1]

Is there any generic option to replace her plastic BackPlate with a metal one? To have a more effective thermal exchange (even put a thermalPast between the BackPlate and the back of the memories - I did this with my old 5700XT). I ask this just out of curiosity, because I use it with Undervolt, so I have no concerns about temperature

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Well, perhaps you could try searching in ebay for custom made backplate for this particular gpu..but i doubt if you could find one bro..

[@duckaro_dujo27]

it's much more easier to teardown than the rx 580 mech 2x oc model 💀

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Definitely..this dual fan card is very straight forward and easy to work with..only few screw and you could access those important areas for maintenance..good design.

However, I forgot to thank you on one particular observation. It seems that on the Mech in this video, the fans and the plastic shroud with the fan can be disassembled without harming the warranty sticker on the backplate and that is a GREAT news for those of us who like to keep us PCs clean from dust!

[@hatdaunho2020]

Morning sir. What happen if i used 90% alcohol to clean chip in gpu? Sr for my bad english

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Thats perfect bro, 99 or 90% is not much difference..the reason i dont recommend the lower 70% is because it takes time to dissipate the liquid. But if 70% is only available to you, you can use it..just make sure to dry up before putting all the compinents together using blower or simpky hair dryer.

[@i_zoru]

hey anyway is it ok to apply thicker thermal pads ?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Should be fine if the thicker difference no more than 15% than the recommended one..and make sure its a soft thermal pads..be aware there are few Pads are stiff. Don't use those pads. Stiff pads only best for the right thickness

[@i_zoru]

@@TakeThatScrewOut i see , thanks for your guidance, i have the same card but it's used so i need some maintenance which is important to keep these from overheating, i actually has a plan to use copper thermal pads, but dont worry i already researched how to apply those stuff

[@MichaelAndolini-q6w]

please tell me, I have the same video card and when replacing thermal paste, the temperature has increased significantly...I noticed that the radiator does not fit snugly to the chip , there is a gap . How to fix it?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Check if the thermal Pads is the right thickness..i suggest use a good quality pads and paste. With pads use Arctic the blue color, Gelid or TEUCER ther.al Pads..with paste use NOCTUA NT H2 or ARCTIC MX6.. and make sure the heatsink and pcb is properly sit before you screw it back..sometimes thats the one reason it cause a gap.

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

I've used different Brand normally..but when it come to Thermal pads based on my personal exoerienced..i recommend Arctic TP-3, GELID EXTREME, XTREME ODESSEY or TRUCER. but Arctic i've used most of the time because its a bit soft side..it could easilly adopt the gap and it performs as good as the other high end brand.

[@DokDokey]

I got the same RX 6700 XT it makes a clicking sound and gets to 90 degrees could this repair fix it?

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

Thats sounds interesting..you have to figure it out where that clicking sounds came from, and thats temps is quite high. if both fans still spins normally during heavy loads, maybe you can try to open it up change the pads and paste with a good quality..make sure to use the right thickness of the pads it uses 1mm thickness

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

This is my suggestion: If you still have the warranty, try to file for RMA ( Return Merchandize Authorization) and let MSI to fix the problem for you for free..because, if you try to do it yourself, you open the back and change the Thermal Pads and Repasting it..that might solve the Thermal Throttling Issue, but you've break the WARRANTY SEAL AND VOID THE WARRANTY. the problem is, we don't really sure whats really the main cause of the Very High Temps..Doing it by yourself only advisable if your card is already OUT OF WARRANTY. hope this helps.

[@TakeThatScrewOut]

105 deg is too much..i've played many games for hours most of my card..Temps only averaging netween 58-65. But that would vary depends on many factor, like how many fans inside your case and what type of pc case you're using..
