    This just makes me sad ,because someone wasted thermal paste and wasted about 30-50 euros for a design on the back and a red color scheme.

          I’ve never understood this about GPUs, why are they all designed so that the cool-looking decorated part with the fancy heat spreader and fans and LEDs and stuff are facing downwards?

            Rgbs most of the time are spread apart and you can see the individual diodes, but the designs probably because the fans but you can still make cool designs with them like usb fans they draw a simple image using blades you do realize how cool that would be!!!

              My confusion isn’t why they’re decorated, but why the decoration is always on the downwards facing side so you can’t actually see it once installed.

      If they’re a repair tech, they have thermal paste in bulk. That was maybe $3 worth of paste. Probably much less.

        I know ,but still a waste and what repair technician would do this if someone left a review with this attached no one except evangelion fans would understand the reference others would think the guy was into objectophilia.

        it looks like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut which is just about the most expensive thermal paste you can get and I don’t think you can get it in bulk
