hey where did you get them YS TECH fans, ive been looking everwhere for them! I used to have one for an old amd system I had only the shroud was bronze finished. ive been searching for 10 years for one of them fans and you have 2, where did you find them?
I mean, air cooling is always cheaper, but requires more space. Watercooling, depends if you're going fully DIY with parts or you will buy the finished product like the kit or waterblock.
This GPU is an absolute legend. Not only was it powerful for the year 2012, but it was better than even the 780Ti from 2013. Imagine using two or even three/four of them together in SLI, that would be a huge beast of a computer, at least for that time, if we don't take the power consumption into consideration!
lmao faster than a 780Ti, yeah, for a year until games stopped supporting SLI and you'd be stuck with a GTX 680 with a shit VRM and a parasitic secondary GPU that has no use.
@@Wasmachineman Not true, SLI is a great option. I don’t know why Nvidia did the bad decision of eliminating it on RTX 40 Series, maybe it was eliminated due to greed. I bet two RTX 4090's on SLI would be as powerful as a future RTX 5090, if Nvidia kept the SLI feature on it.
@@gearfriedtheswmas hahaha, not really. Many people had enough power most likely to power on a 4-way SLI PC with a 2000W PSU. Nvidia eliminated it because they want you to buy the latest gen every two years instead of using at least a two-way SLI on the last gen(which is as powerful as a single next gen), lol.
Those switchblocks are outstanding. You may even be able to mod part of the metal shroud back on. That would look pretty awesome. The sound of theose delta fans is so iconic as well.
Very cool mod, I also reused some of these server heatsinks for various applications like GPUs and ITX builds. Some of the dynatron copper ones even came with a big vapor chamber at the cold plate. 1U and rated for 150W TDP CPUs, quite powerful.
Beautiful project! I miss Swiftech and Alpha heatsinks :-(. I like the "ruler" you used to score the plate for cutting 🙂. Those TMD fans are nice looking. I only have one, with silver shroud that came in a Vantec Aeroflow Socket A/370 cooler. The magnetic band broke in a matter of months, but I fixed it with super glue. I still have it installed in my old Athlon 850MHz :-).
A unique channel for techno-maniacs :) Fascinating - just incredible, modernization work. According to your pronunciation, I learn English :) very legible and understandable. THANK YOU
The 690 was such a grail card for so long, I lusted over one for years and I did see there was a thing in trying to get two running in a kinda quad SLi which would have been phenomenal for the time.
Extrêmement bien réalisé, Bravo ! Je suis à la recherche d'une solution de fan modding pour une RX480 Gigabyte mais tout en préservant la surveillance des ventilateurs à partir du contrôleur du PCB du GPU.

I'm looking for a fan modding solution for a Gigabyte RX480 but still preserving fan monitoring from the GPU PCB controller. This will surely involve the crimping of ad hoc JST connectors...
More manufacturers need to standardise hole placement in PCBs for graphics cards so that we could install aftermarket coolers if we would want to... So far I've seen that only NZXT with their G12 "cooler" has somewhat of a standard, but even then, it's not working with every GPU
I'm wanting to buy a broken old high tier gpu to build a cheap powerfull pc, this video helps. Something like a gtx 780 or hd 7970, those are great 1080p modern game gpus, and for a fraction of the price. Can you make some video replacing smd components? most of the time is near the power imput the problem, or even reflowing overheated gpu dye. I Salute you from argentina, great respect for your work.
Check out the channels "Tech Cemetery" and "Learn electronics repair". Both are great resources for GPU repair specifically. There's also "NorthridgeFix" - his GPU repair approach is a but primitive, he doesn't replace memory chips or uses any software-sided GPU diagnostics tools but is generally good at PCB level repair.
I did some more detailed videos with caps replacing 1-2 year ago maybe. But this is out of point for me because you can find hundreds of better videos around soldering/desodering with all kind of stuff from basic to profi. Iam watching and learning from these YT videos too. It is about learning in real on scrap HW like first.
Nicely done, could perhaps put some 92mm fans on there instead though, maybe a pair of Arctic's F9 or Noctua's 92mm pwm fans at 1600 rpm. Then again if the card is already that big & you dont require other pci or pci-e slots, might as well have pci slot mounted 120mm fans pointed at the heatsinks that spins at like 1200 rpm.
Seems UA-cam didn't like my photo links to the 690 ive just restored but i did forget to mention Temps as i installed 3DMark11 just to compare to the reference cooler using MX-2 Idle: 26-28C 100% Power Target: Stock fan curve: 73C/77C 100% Fans: 56C/58C 60-70% on custom fan curve: 63C/65C 135% Power Target (Only reached 125% in Benchmarks) Stock Fan Curve: 71C/73C (An anomaly but i did switch to just GPU tests with increased power target but shows the slow thermal runaway on the stock fan curve i noticed) 100% Fans: 60C/61C 60-70% on custom fan curve: 65C/67C I imagine undervolting + higher fans and the 100% power target could bring things closer to your results but for now i've used thick application of MX-2 on Mosfets and ICs etc until i get right thickness thermal pads delivered. Noticed you forgot the one in the bottom right by the inductor ;) For testing I also put probes on different parts of the heatsink and feel like the whole heatsink is underutilised, could be helped with better paste perhaps but i imagine the improvement of your upgrade is down to being able to use a lot more thermal mass avaliable as a whole as if you imagine dividing the original ones vertically into thirds, was a hotspot on the center division and the other fin array segments weren't doing as well in terms of soaking in heat away from the dies. As a result the improvements had to come from a higher and louder fan speed. even under extended loads and various fan speeds the result were the same. But its a whole lot better than the 9800GX2 sandwhich thats for sure despite that card having good utilisation of the thermal mass avaliable to it.
couldn't you have simply taken the shroud off and seated two 60/80mm fans on the top of the original finstacks the OG GTX 690 heatsink setup has fins that are open at the top

Regarding the games, it goes very well with fear, crysis, call of duty2, ridick. and with respect to the updates I put all the ones I could without having the equipment connected to the network. my question is why those two programs there is no way to make them work? With your experience, do you see a solution? thanks for everything and greetings, I love your channel
3DM2000 is absolut buged trash. This version is not working on 70% HW. Forgot about it. Generally is normal that some version of 3DM doesnt work on any system, because drivers version or chipset or simply HW non-compatabile. If games working, all good. Latest AGP Radeons are tricky to run on WIN XP. Use HotFix Drivers + DotNET. Iam using version 12.3 + 3.5 DotNET - almost no problem.

Much better (as a separate fan design) than the original.

You are truly amazing. Magnificent work!
Sonho de consumo da época. Caríssima. Show!
Last one fan wireing, I think with some modification, hook these two fan wire to the graphics card fan connector, it would be perfect!😃👍
Nice project, those temps are amazing 😀
Beautiful project! I miss Swiftech and Alpha heatsinks :-(.

True, Vantec made complete cooler with this fan in few colours. It was big fail with noise those times.
3:12 - 3DMark 11, my favorite!
Even the temps with the stock cooler are okay. I'm impressed
Wow, pretty impressive mod! Thanks for sharing such an amazing video with us. Cheers from Argentina!
This is like watching operation on patient.
Absolute madman but one of the kind card in the world.
Haaaaaa Heaven Benchmark is so dang beautiful even after all these years !! My all time favorite…
this insane ! really this is absolutely new design and a lot of workshop and handcrafting I love your job bro.
Most impressive cooling mod i've seen till now. Good job!
Amazing job! Also, really dig the new look, a proper next gen v5500.
It's like you own The Smithsonian of late '90s to 2014 computer gear. And the imagination and skill to pull off that mod is really impressive.
I like videos like that. Good project man !! Always have a lot of joy watching your videos, keep going :)
Impressive. Altough I hate the sound of those new fans. Stock cooler sounds much more pleasing
Yep YS fans are bad with noise. For daily use would be better silent 80mm fans. But this is for random testing or fun use.

awesome efforts, looks spectacular!
Your CNC grinder is state of the art hi-tech 😜
Excellent! What a beautiful mod!
Those temps are just great. Couldn't do much better on water. And those Swiftech heatsinks are just dead sexy on that GPU.
Yeaaa! Old school modding! 🤘

Dobrá práce
Seems UA-cam didn't like my photo links to the 690 ive just restored but i did forget to mention Temps as i installed 3DMark11 just to compare to the reference cooler using MX-2
Idle: 26-28C
100% Power Target:
Stock fan curve: 73C/77C
100% Fans: 56C/58C
60-70% on custom fan curve: 63C/65C
135% Power Target (Only reached 125% in Benchmarks)
Stock Fan Curve: 71C/73C (An anomaly but i did switch to just GPU tests with increased power target but shows the slow thermal runaway on the stock fan curve i noticed)
100% Fans: 60C/61C
60-70% on custom fan curve: 65C/67C
I imagine undervolting + higher fans and the 100% power target could bring things closer to your results but for now i've used thick application of MX-2 on Mosfets and ICs etc until i get right thickness thermal pads delivered.

We use the same CNC machine type. 😀

works great, but looks good only in that position of mb.
