Video entitled "How to Install Thermal Pad Mod on EVGA GTX 1080 & 1070" on Gamers Nexus channel.
Just wondering what anyone makes of these comments made by someone named 'acnfanmanin':
  
"THATS NOT WHERE YOU PUT THE FRONT THERMAL PAD. You should put it on the HOTTEST part which is ON the baseplate itself. Those things you put on top of are CHOKES which doesnt get hot and dont mind being hot. You want the baseplate to be cold so it can cool the mosfets."
 
"No you're not supposed to put it on top of the chokes is what I'm saying. those things don't need cooling (look at motherboards and watercooling blocks they're never cooled) so you're wasting thermal pad contact area putting it there. You're better off putting it on the baseplate area on the right of the chokes because the mosfets which do get VERY hot are located under there connected to the baseplate."
 
"if EVGA told them to put it on the chokes...wt*...you're basically trying to cool a piece of copper...why"

But those are already cooled by the massive slab on the back. If i look at my own card with a light, the back seems the only way to give them extra cooling unless you want to remove the middle plate aswell.
If you put the front pad where he wants it, you only block more airflow, including the chokes.

That's exactly what I thought.

Yes and putting anything beyond the mid plate in that section is still useless I would think if you only draw the heat to the midplate unless you added another pad above the midplate lol. Plus if you look at other aftermarket designs they seem to have pads on chokes too www.imgur.com/a/XGgn6#e7vLgBa

Again, the delusions.
I don't work for EVGA, they can't afford me.
I don't control damage I inflict it.
I have been laying waste to incompetent trolls like you for many many years, the interwebz are littered with the unmarked graves of half-assed trolls and White Knights like you that seem to think they have some sort of super hero ability and righteous infallibility spewing their fallacious crap to incite lesser individuals.
So rather than continue to post here in this thread, which is meant to help others to get a fix supplied by EVGA, adding confusion and fear through mis/disinformation, gtho and stfu.
Then you will be doing a real service to the community.
Blathering twit.

Thanks for enlighting me, keep going. Other paying Customers have a mind of their own and will surely see through.
And thanks for the advise, i'm right where i need to be right now, at least as long as i'm an EVGA Costomer.
 
Feel free to do like Darkheran if you can't take it anymore.

That's just it. You don't see it. I don't have to really do anything at all. You are still here and with every post you pull you pants down and make a fool of yourself. It really is pathetic actually. Like laughing at someone with a mental disability. They can't really help it so it is wrong but it is still funny, you know. Or maybe you just enjoy being laughed at in public. Do you enjoy self-humiliation? The psychologist can help you with that as well. And so the others here for certain will see through your crap, they will have a chuckle and say  "Look at that imbecile, why doesn't he get a life? lol" You never know, maybe you will get mentioned on reddit, like that is a thing any more. Or maybe someone will make a nice lolcat meme about you. Then you will really have achieved fame.
So if you insist on being here thn why not add something relevant to the discussion, something with intelligence and backed up withh verifiable facts, instead of internet bs.
If not, then by all means continue to stay and make a fool of yourself. Keep pulling your pants down and playing with yourself in public. For myself I have nothing to do today and don't mind pointing you out and getting others around to laugh at you.
Be advised, as well, I haven't even started yet so your suggestion that I can't take it anymore is more evidence of your delusions. Can't you see that? I am just getting rolling baby!!!. lmfao

One reply to the placement of the pads comments was:
 
"You mean like this?   www.imgur.com/a/CQkBI
 
and OP's reply was "THAT is CORRECT! Yes like that"

Also, he says they don't need the cooling, but they do. Since the neighbour parts are heating them up ;)

You got me "chuckle" on this one, keep going and keep falling in your own trap!.
I think you should do the same without name calling though, it's against the forum rules, lucky you forums moderators don't seems to care.

Yeah ive been having issues posting links this entire thread still don't understand it. Its like you can link but if you do and then type anything else and save it the link dissapears. EDIT: Even directly altering the HTML source doesn't give the desired effect.
