Working in EVGA Taiwan Ukrainian engineer Ilya Tsemenko alias TiN published a detailed step by step guide to the hardware modifications of the standard version GeForce GTX 1080 known as the Founders Edition. The purpose of these modifications involve working with a soldering iron and a deep knowledge of the basics of electronics - to prepare the graphics system power to increase voltage while overclocking using liquid nitrogen. The first stage of modification involves the installation of additional elements.
Author methodological guidance explains that even with the use of liquid nitrogen relatively safe voltage range on the GPU - is 1.3-1.5 V, although described modification will allow to overcome the barrier 1.6 V.
The second good news is that water blocks and tanks of liquid nitrogen required for overclocking GeForce GTX 1080 compatible mount with products released for GeForce GTX 680/780/980 (Ti). Along the perimeter of the graphics processor is no longer a metal edge that prevented the crystal against mechanical damage during installation of the cooling system. For this reason, the final installation should be carried out with extreme caution. Related Products :
