Ok i killed my warranty and took off the heatsink.
I have the 1060 in a node 202 case that's built for folding and to have a easily portable pc.
Worked out rather well except when folding I had to run the fan on the gpu at around 90%,
all the time. That is too loud! I have a corsair h55 ordered a NZXT Kraken G12 I figure I'll
mod/cut the bracket to fit the card and use case fan to chill the memory.
Today thought i'd get a little ahead on mod and took off the heatsink. Now i've used water blocks,
in the past, on gpu's but this thing is so scratched up I'm kinda shocked. All I have for taking a picture
is my phone so not sure if you can see
It is very pitted you can actually feel the gashes.
Can these things even be lapped ? lol been forever since I did that
Planning on using ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Compound Paste will that fill in the ruts?
FYI the heatsink doesn't even touch the memory my thinking is the mem will actually run cooler
