RTX 3070 Ti COPPER MOD: 1 Month Later And... OMG...

This 3070 Ti has survived an entire month of torture. Err... I mean normal everyday usage. Let's put it to the test to see how it is performing. Better yet, let's give it a small upgrade!

This GPU mod was done for fun. Replicate at your own risk.

Honestly for the price we're paying for graphics cards, these practices should become standard for manufacturers.

Man seeing 62C mem temp is so surreal lol! Another amazing video, you're crushing it!

Ive done this on over 10 gpus so far and had incredible results each time, also on vrm/cpu/ even a desk fan ive attached like 10 shims onto its heatsink and it literally made a 50% difference, these copper shims are incredibly powerful

I used 0.5mm thermal pads between the 1.5mm thick copper plate and the memory chips. Regular thermal pads were 2 mm thick. The effect is the same.

I went with the CMG copper mod and it’s been great. My 3080 FE in a SFF with an overclock still sits at 69c core, 84 memory.

I did some undervolting and got some pretty good results. I saw the first video you did and thought I might try the copper mod if the undervolting didn't work. So far, the undervolting is pretty close to what you're getting. However, should I decide to do the mod, I'll use your videos as reference material. Thanks for the update!

I can't belive this is a 6k sub channel producing this level of content. Criminally undervalued you are my friend, very very well done! You are putting multi billion dollar corpo R&D shops to shame.

I appreciate the tip with the "Heat Resistant Tape". It never hurts to be safe. I'm gonna give the CoolMyGpu copper mod a try hopefully this week. I've also been adding an alluminum heat sink to the backs of my GPU plates. As I haven't done the mod yet, so any bit of cooling helps as of now. Can't wait to try this out!

It's great to hear someone who knows a little science in the PC hardware space.

More importantly, why are you making us stare at a Disney snow globe? Why is this the thing in focus???

Really cool stuff @Dandyworks. I just found your channel and i gotta say this "cooper mod" is about the coolest thing i've seen done on a GPU. The temperature readings speak for themselves man. Keep up the good work bro...

GPU heatsinks are generally nickel plated copper anyway.

[donaIdtrumpjr]

Worked out great, lowered mine by almost 20c. Thanks!

[pioneersmokehouseschannel]

no body should dislike your videos, I get dislikes and then I go to my room and cry, lol...

Careful with MX4. It separates over time with GPUs based on my history. Would recommend GC Extreme over it.

[chincemagnet]

Hold on a minute, there’s absolutely no difference in moisture level between air cooling and water cooling as long as your loop isn’t leaking, and if your loop is leaking on to your graphics card, it’s gonna get fried before it has a chance to corrode. So there’s no reason you couldn’t use copper shims for water cooling, just make damn sure you get the correct size.

[CJ-M]

Man, you are such a pleasure to watch the way you present things and talk us through the video. Subbed!

[kasimirdenhertog]

I’ve got a passively cooled system where I’ve had great success swapping the thermal pads for some home-made copper shims. I didn’t notice any such improvement using different thermal pastes, though. The TG Kryonaut Extreme worked just as well as MX-4 while being a bit more difficult to work on since it’s rather pudgy.

[puddleduckist]

Glad to see it's still performing well!

[marcopolo]

Was excited for this followup! Really clever mod.
