Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro + with the original backplate
Questions
1.Any installation video for backplate mod, info advice tips and so on..
2.Can I just apply TIM on VRAM when I put back on the stock backplate, or do I have to buy thermal pads for that.
Wait hold on, thinking about it, you don't need to get any thermal pads at all, because the stock backplate will already have them on there, so you can just carefully remove them when you're installing the new cooler, and then replace them afterwards.
Can I just remove the pads and put TIM which is not conductive on the vram and the apply the stock backplate and then the coloer. Because the stock backplate colles the VRM better

That's what I'm telling you to do, just without the TIM. I don't know why, I just know that you're not supposed to put TIM on VRAM chips.
Also...just had some preposterous results with the thermal tape ramsinks that come with the twin turbo, so dont disregard them yet. Doing a write up soon.

Why do you insist on using TIM?
As others have pointed out, the gaps are too big, you'll get worse performance. Not only that, with the heavy Accelero, your card will flex, causing even large gaps between backplate and mem/vrm chips.
I like the backplate idea though; I do the same with my cards.

Yeah, seriously, forget about the TIM on the backplate.
If you end up using the twin turbos ramsinks(its worth a try) make sure you clean the chips heavily with a rubber and possibly isopropyl(i did) and apply a ton of pressure to stick them down. Results were ideal on a 6870.
If you use the backplate, assuming its reference, you will probably need to grind down part of the backplate to get the twin turbos heatpipes to fit.
Though you probably know that already.
Yup.But if u leave the termal pads on u dont have to grind anything.Thanks for reply though.
You sure? I have put a twin turbo on a 5850 using the backplate, and it had to be shaved down where the heatpipes stick out, unless its a better designed backplate now.
