Cleaning a 7950GT and repasting. Put Kryonaut and the thing still idles at 50c.. idiots at nVidia made the reference cooler a 1-slot blower solution, and Foxconn kept that solution. It actually doesn't get that much hotter when playing Portal, but the fan always sounds loud and terrible.
What is that ring on the core? Sadako rev?
I have no idea what it is. I tried to get it off with IPA but it didn't change. The bottom of the cooler which sits on the die doesn't have this ring.
