I'm glad ifixit is helping right to repair. Louis Rossman is also doing a lot to help. And has ripped apple for a long time for it. But glad to know others are helping.

[@AndrewTSq]

and of they win.m where does it end.. "Sorry, we cant repair your owen. But we have a new house that you can buy"

[@wasd____]

@@bradhaines3142 ifixit is acting in their own interest? Of course they are, every business that's ever existed acts in their own interest. What matters is that *my* interests as a consumer align with that. I'll buy an ifixit tool kit once and then be able to fix all my own stuff for free forever, rather than have to pay over and over again for "expert repair services" or be forced to buy a whole new device over some bullshit issue that should have an easy, inexpensive solution that I could do myself if I wasn't locked out by corporate greed and malfeasance. Ifixit is the better alternative to the Apples of the world any day of the week.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@bradhaines3142 Maybe, but they don't need us to be allowed to fix new components to get their sales, we have these types of kits in our home anyway for the odd time we need to tighten something or work on something we can fix out of warranty or for hobbies that require the tools.

[@raynmanshorts9275]

@@wasd____ Consider this: Do you think companies like having to repair or replace *everything* that's under warranty all the time? Of course not. They'd rather people that know what they're doing be able to repair the things themselves. The problem is people that *don't* know what they're doing rooting around and breaking things. Because ifixit's target consumer is people that know what they're doing, naturally their target consumer's interests align with their own. My interests align with ifixit's. But I'm capable of recognizing that while also recognizing that other interests are valid as well, and that this goal has negative consequences on everyone. The difference is that I knowingly accept those negative consequences because my estimation has the positives outweigh the negatives for me.

[@ryboodle]

You lose the spring action of the backplate putting the washers there. You need to put it between the head of the screw and the backplate you should probably correct it and see if it helps. Edit: Spelling

[@tomr3422]

Same on the out side of the bracket and wearing the "Steve Wig" will help too.

[@ERBarratt]

It's not about that, putting the washers there moves the screw up, preventing the screw from bottoming out. What he failed to say is that the washers hole needs to be big enough to let the threaded post through it so it gets pulled through and increases the pressure on the silicone. You can also put 4 bits of plastic / washers under each of the four the cross bars on the square of the spring weight which helps even more.

[@joshbauer5039]

I agree 100% that the washers r in the wrong place. I agree that the screws r bot bottoming out but by the same token, u created space between the place at the point it is supposed to provide pressure. Place the washers between the screw heads and the backplate. This will keep them from bottoming out while increasing the backplate pressure against the necessary thermal sensitive areas.

[@sdflkjdflkj]

Washers go on top of the bracket!!!

[@glennwilburn1880]

The washers under the arms alleviates the tension and having the washers on top wouldnt make a difference in that sense, since the arms would just be right back where they were. The washers on top would in fact keep the screws from bottoming out though. If the little black rubber pads in the center were a little thicker to put more pressure down at that point it would work. That is were it matters most. Not the outside.

[@psedog]

13:57 Best iFixit commercial ever!

[@alexeyyarov7472]

For those who watching this video: thermal pads on reference (turbine) 5700 xt are 1mm thick, all of them. They are different by softness, but it doesn't matter. You'll need approx 1 of 120x20x1 pad to cover 8 memory chips and about half of pad for other parts (in sum 1.5 of 120x20x1 pads, so buy 2 of them ). 1 gramm of thermal paste will be enough to cover chip. When gonna assemble do not forget to connect fan wires. Washers are optional.

[@sajjaadf]

[@Broadpaw_Fox]

Hey Jay, you don't want those washers in between the spring and the back plate. You want them on the outside of the spring, so that it puts more pressure on the heat sink against the GPU. By having the washers in between the spring in the back plate, you're actually reducing the pressure on the die side unless you bottom the spring out completely - then you're just tensioning the screws as if there was no spring involved at all. I hope this makes sense, but I think you need to move the washers based on what I saw.

[@robertotarter7839]

actually, what you want is putting a spacer under those black plastic spacer he shows here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fCapqiaMiMi5o , basically that will move everything a few tenths of mm up from the pcb, spring, screws and heatsink.

[@prjndigo]

You don't actually need the spring at all, you can get long screws and a block of wood and crank it in. Honestly the spring does NOTHING for applying pressure to the die correctly. It hasn't served a purpose since the era in which GPU heatsinks weighed more than 70grams

The washers need to be on top of the spring metal plate so the spring action is increased. The spacer above this also prevents the threads from bottoming out. The washer between the PCB and the spring plate prevents the spring plate from flexing all the way!
