I have done this pin mod on my FSC M4348 result: 1700@2260.

After I checked the cooling solution I found this:


This is a 6800 and my question is:
Is that thermal paste (what I marked) do anything? Is that necessary?
I’m trying do, a better cooling but I’m not sure if I can remove that.

The gpu and mem will get artic silver.

Thanks!
maybe, does it come in to contact with the heat sink? if it does, it might help?

Yes it does.
To see in this way, it is not likely that FSC used it just for fun

I'll leave that stuff inside

Thanks

Yea, epi, I'd leave it too. It looks like that thermal pad is to let the heatsink touch the MOFSET, which is part of the power circuitry of the GPU. You want to keep those bad boys VERY cool, I had a desktop rig that had them melt down (literally) because it was watercooled, and there was no airflow in that area of the mobo.

My 7800GTX has some of Dell's blue thermal pads (same stuff as is on the memory) on one corner over some power circuitry, so yeah, I'd say it's doing some good.

Dell's pads seem more bubble ridden though, undoubtedly causing the heat transer to be hampered. Does anyone think this is a real problem with those pads?
How about filling the holes on the surfaces up with AS5? Will that help or will it only increase the heat transfer resistance?

as5, when installed correctly, will have no air bubbles, and you will see a good drop in temp, like 5 deg or so, it will fill in pitts in the metal

The pads, however, fill in a wider gap than AS5. The gap between the HS and the memory modules and/or the power management parts is generally larger than a CPU/GPU gap.

@tijgert: I don't know if smearing AS5 on those spongy pads would help much, if any, as you're just getting the air pockets on the surface.

ya, those thick pads would make me nervous

You're both missing the point.
I'm considering putting AS5 ON TOP of the pads to fill in the gaps/air bubbles on the pads' surface.

It'd hamper if it anything. Basically, unless AS5 has direct contact it will insulate . Also, extra thermal pads are there for a reason, the ones on the corner are indeed for power circuitry. However, one would do well removing the one on the GPU and replacing it with AS5 .

Done that already, my core seems to touch the copper, so guess I bought that spacer 0.5mm copper plate for nothing...

metal to metal contact only

This is gives meaning that thermal pad.
Good to know

K guys...I have a 730J P-M chip, 1.6Ghz. I looked it up on intel's site and they dont have specs for the 730J just a 730!!! Anyone know what fsb i have 533 Mhz or 400 Mhz.

Since it ends in a "0", I'd guess it's a 533MHz chip. If it's installed in a system, run CPU-Z and it should tell you.

Thxs 911medic, I ran CPU-Z and I have the 533 version. Thats sucks cause I wanted to pin mod it. Does anyone know of a pin mod for the 533 FSB version?

No, there's no pinmod for the 533mhz FSB chips yet. Even if there was, there'd be no way for the 9300 board to recognize it since the highest FSB that it does is 533.
