so I had said I might be doing a follow-up video on the Spitfire 6 uh
graphics card cooler from thermal right and here it is so I've actually
installed the thermal right fan that they've given to me along with it this
is a 140 mm fan and I just want to I
just want to demonstrate the ludicrous size of this cooler setup I mean I love
it it's terrific but uh so this is a Radeon 5850 ifinity 6 Edition so I don't
think thermal r even knew this yet but it actually fits it's completely 100%
compatible with this special card right out of the box so let's uh let's go over
the installation procedure that I used really quickly here it's not nearly as
complicated as it looked when I was unboxing it I I thought there were all
these screws and brackets and all this stuff and I was like oh this is pretty
confusing but actually it's really simple so the first thing I did was I
installed the vrm cooler so all that was
was one strip of thermal comp of thermal
interface material so that's under there and then you just put it up against the
uh the voltage regulators and you put in two thumb screws with plastic washers
from the back that's it that simple to install that piece the next piece that I
installed was all of the RAM coolers so thermalite includes an abundance of RAM
chip heat sinks so I actually used 12 of
these so I used all of the regular sized ones but they also included several long
skinny ones as well as eight or maybe
get six but it's a few of the ones that are low profile so I installed four low
profile ones down here and then I have another four over here now something you
want to make sure you're doing when you're installing any aftermarket cooling on a video card is use isopropyl
alcohol to clean off all the memory chips before you try to stick these ones
to it because otherwise you're going to ruin the thermal pads that are included
on the thermal right ones and I should also mention that the thermal tape that
they're using is excellent I did not have any difficulties with these falling
off after I applied them and I have run into that before in the past so the next
piece that I installed was just the uh this is a hold down plate right here
that goes over top of the GPU cooler itself now you can install this both
ways it is symmetrical if you check out my unboxing you can see that both of
these surfaces are laps flat so you can make it so that when the card is
installed the cooler either uh Towers up
and up towards the CPU or it can go down
towards the other expansion cards and then it actually doubles as a cooler for
all your expansion cards because you can have the fan blowing down onto all of
your other expansion cards as well so that's kind of a a neat perk to
installing this so basically you put the hold down over top you put these little
thumb screws through and then on the
back you just put a washer a rubber
washer a back plate and then one more thumb nut that was it that was the whole
installation procedure and once it's in stalled it looks just like ridiculously
massive I love it because it's like the
size of the video card itself and I oh I wish I had the stock cooler here just
for a quick comparison but the stock cooler just kind of is you know this
size and then this thing is like a huge one other benefit actually that I should
mention is that assuming you're not using an Infinity 6 Edition card and you
can actually get a single slot P or uh
if you want were able to get a single slot PCI bracket thermalite has actually
engineered this cooler so that all of the things that are on the surface of
the card are only single slot width so if if you got rid of this you could
actually install some other expansion card right next to your 5870 even though
with the default cooler it is a dual slot card so thank you for checking out
my quick video on the installed Spitfire 6 and Radeon ifinity 6 Edition
