Nicely done!! You seriously made my day. I've been searching for a instructional video for tearing this exact GPU down for what feels like weeks now. I was sooooo nervous to pull the backplate off because of the two posts that hold it in place. Without your video I may never have had the confidence to just pull it apart lol.. So thank you for making and posting this video!!!!! I'll send you pics of my build once its complete if you wanna swap pics & discuss builds ever. :)
Great vid. I've got the MSI gaming trio 7900xtx and can't find anything on it. Bykski is literally the only company that produces a waterblock for it. This vid def helps out.
Nice vid. You can probably expect the hydronaught to pump out over time and give you bad hotspot temps. It’s a known issue with rdna3. You’d be better off replacing it with a sheet of ptm7950 s it’s a phase change material and won’t pump out over time
I haven't had any issues so far with the thermal compound and the GPU is vertical mounted. However I am going to be testing with ptm7950 when I do the next coolant change
Wow...thank you for this wonderful video! You are very skilled and courageous. I own this amazing GPU, I just bought it and it's the best GPU I had. I would love to have it run on watter cooling like you did here but I am too afraid to even open it. I could never do it even if I have put together my whole PC piece by piece. If you would ever visit Romania I would pay you to help me with this. Much health!
Fantastic! The only card, and the only waterblock, I could like in palce of Xfx 6800xt Byksky water cooled! That card is really awesome! Awesome! Fantastic! Have Fun, Man! 🤩🙌
Thank you so much for this video! I was stuck trying to get the cooler off and had no idea how to proceed. Missed the 4th screw on the pci plate and also hadnt taken the top and fans off.. feels like it shouldnt be necessary but i wasnt ablw to do it without it. Thank you!
Quick question, I got my nitro and it runs quite cool, but I still want to try the ptm7950. Stumbled on your video looking for a dissasembly guide and from what I can see the stock thermal paste looks like phase change pad, no idea if its the ptm7950 or something similar, would you or someone else be able to confirm that?
@KirtisIsChaos did repaste myself after the previous comment. GPU barely hits 60C overclocked and undervolted with the ptm7950. I also used putty instead of pads on anything else
I have the sapphire RX 7900XT Pulse. on mine it cames with the same screws as yours, but i at least mounted 4 of the screws with the spring the other two i miss were the holes were (the pcb bends a little as the screws with spring are short and tension a little), and with that the block was secured, then i put the 8 screws of the black plate as yours and putting special more strong torque on the 4 screws that presion over the gpu.... My temps are nice 22º on idle and most hot that i see it in full load were 37ºC, and the block lights are similar to the barrow block for cpu that i have for the 7800x3d.
@@franksherman5093 based on the design of the block I have you can't without potentially damaging the backplate. I also noticed bending on PCB when using the spring screws which will damage you GPU over time
@@KirtisIsChaosfor the backplate i used same screws as you, the 4 spring screws are on another position and you have to attach them before mounting the backplate, then the backplate never gets close to the spring screws. the bending of the pcb with spring screws is not so much, after all is mounted is barely perceptible that is not totally straight. (maybe that is done because that way when you put the backplate it have two presion brackets over the gpu , that when tighten the backplate makes the pcb straigh again and ensure that you have enought pressure for the block over the gpu).
@@KirtisIsChaos I have a Sapphire pulse 7900XT and it looks like I have the same exact waterblock kit as yours. I will just forget about the spring screws and proceed as shown in your video. Thanks again.
Good job Kirtis, Your link goes to the the instructions for the Hellhound card block? I was really confused by the spring screws. How is your card performing in your new block? Thanks for this video.
Apologies for the link being incorrect it should have directed you to the Sapphire Block. Yeah the screws were definitely confusing. I am seeing 20-22c idle temps and mid 40s at full load however the hotspot temps are 28-30 on idle and mid 50s to 60c which is at least 25c cooler than the stock cooler
I hate the backplate , it feels like it never places a even amount of pressure. I was forced to place a thermal pad under the rubber to give it alittle bit of extra pressure so my hot spot wasn't hitting over 100c
I wanted to understand a coa is thanks to your video I was able to notice it : I saw that there is a lot of empty space to apply under the fan shell to be able to add some led stripes I have the gpu vertically and I am sorry that there is not even a small light . I really appreciate of this board the two huge led bance sio sides . certainly aesthetically it is not the most beautiful but still it is the most powerful of the 7900xtx series
Hey man, I installed the Bykski block on my Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX using this guide. Just wanted to confirm some questions (I haven't tested it/turned it on yet as build is still w.i.p.). Did you end up being able to use the spring screws at all? I was not able to, but wanted to make sure that its okay to not use em. Also, I did not use thermal pads on the components with LR15, is that also alright to not do? Noticed the stock cooler had thermal pads over top of those.
Good evening Stephen, Thank you for your comment and I am happy to help. The spring screws aren't needed as the longer screws through the backplate do the same job because of the hardened rubber blocks on the backplate. Yes that's correct the R15 components don't require thermal pads with the block because they don't generate enough heat to require it, I do recommend using the original thermal blocks for the backplate of the GPU to make the backplate an active cooling solution to help with temperatures on the RAM modules. Please ensure you do use the shorter screws to secure the PCB to the waterblock in the screw holes that do not align with the backplate. Let me know if you have any other questions
@@KirtisIsChaos you said that you need to use the shorter screws in the holes that dont align with the backplate. Which shorter screws? Are they included with the block? Just ordered the block. Thnx in advance.
Ya, that was kind of a bummer for me. other companies like ek design their blocks so the block itself is "up-right" even though the card is up-side-down. Bykski didn't take that same idea into mind.
Mate, thank you! Ive got a 7800xt but it looks the same physically. What screw did you use to get the plastic shroud off? Their the only ones i cant figure out. Theyre not your standard philips or like the others screws.
Kirtis, are you generally happy with the Bykski? Have you installed the Aqua unlimited bios and had a test to see what the card can really do while watercooled?
Hi Kirtis. George here. i had received a few days ago my block from bykski. i have an Ashrock 7900XTX Taichi. So probably i will have a lot of things to ask you.. but for now i just only want to ask you what size to prefer in order to add different thermal pads than those from Bykski. Should i go with 1mm or 1.5mm? As thermal past i will use the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme. Thanks!
Hi, great video. I have the same GPU, been thinking of changing the thermal paste, would I need to take off the back plate or can you just take off the fans and heatsink? Cheers
There are some screws in the backplate connecting it to the rest of the cooler you would need to remove those and the X clamp to remove the front of the cooler to apply new thermal paste
@@KirtisIsChaos i have buyed ek thermal pads 1.5mm but my hotspot going up to 93 celsiusi have to replace it or find another type of 1.5 because here in italy i didn’t find it 😞
so, in my world of lingo this mounting method is called a 'hard mount". hard mounts are really really good, when you get it right, and can be somewhat easy to crack the die, when you get it wrong. i just got this block in, and i am very concerned about hard mounting it, the standoff distance needs to be basically perfect and any uneven pressure will be directly transferred to the die because there is nowhere in the mounting system to 'give'. ive only ever hard mounted blocks on CPU's that still have their IHS, seams very high risk with direct die. if you could confirm a few details, 1. how is the standoff distance on the die side of the card, do the standoffs reach all the way to the PCB and act as a Hard stop, or do they float. 2. if you can, describe how tight these 4 screws are that are responsible for applying pressure to the die. 3. would you say the stock backplate and leaf is usable, albeit ugly, would the stock backplate interfere with anything (fittings come to mind). thx in advance. also to anyone with a large die card (over about 700mm^2) the entire mounting of the cooler becomes pretty important to achieve uniform pressure, i would not recommend using one of these cards without a backplate, and certainly not with those dinky spring screws, always use your leaf/some reliable method of distributing pressure (leaf has added benefit of knowing when your 'tight enough' as they are designed to exert the correct pressure once they are flat against the pcb.
So I had to rewind this to be sure. But you missed putting any thermal compound of the 2 longest rows of chips. 1 literally goes from the top to the bottom of the watercooler. They are the ones that are sunk into the watercooler. Vs all the others that are rising above the watercooler base. I came here as the back plate was confusing, so thank you for the video.
That's because the R15 chips don't require active cooling as per the guidance, even the reference AMD GPU doesn't have thermal pads on that they are inductors and don't generate enough heat
You can put thermal pads on there if you choose to however it is not recommended as it's not in the guidance for the Bykski Waterblock or the Alphacool version
GPUs have become monstrosities. The parts of this one look industrial, nothing like GPUs of old. Surprised motherboards can even support them without cracking
This is not the way you install a GPU water block, he never read the instructions and he is explaining like he knows what he is talking about. This is why I can't understand when UA-camrs put content out and they don't know what they are talking about.
Please can you clarify how I am not reading the instructions when they are clearly on my phone in the video, please don't start putting comments like this when you clearly haven't watched the entire video
Why did you not put thermal pads on some of the most important components of your GPU 😂did you think the part that's hollowed out for the chips to just sit in with nothing on them ?

I have installed a few GPU blocks before both Alphacool and EK and yes they do advise on some of their blocks to install a thermal pad onto those components but I will also point out on the Alphacool block for this GPU it is also not advised to place thermal pads on these components as can be seen from this guide here.
