i ripped my OEM cpu thermal pad on my 6800 when i was changing the memory pads, still reused it and it was fine

theres still more headroom since this is TDP limited to 45W right? what if a full desktop APU with 65W, would it perform better?
what makes you stand out over the hundreds of MIT, Caltech, Stanford kids vying for the same position?
i put pads at the back of my 6800 XT, initially it helps but after gaming for a while, the backplate gets heatsoaked and it goes back to the same terminal temperatures as before the pads, albeit just a slower climb to reach there.
so no, your "€8 investment" didnt do the heavy lifting, it was the deshrouding with the giant fans that did.
