I spent 10 days, took 7 videos, and 25 pictures, trying to convince them that the green line across the top of my screen wasn't just the Windows background. They had me retake the picture of the serial number, because it was at an angle, even though that meant taking the monitor off the stand. Meanwhile with Corsair I accidentally caught my wireless dongle with my knee, emailed them asking where I could BUY a new one, and they sent me one, DHL overnight from Taiwan, for free. Dell is the worst company on the planet.

This appears to have been designed to have the backplate heat pipe spread around the other side of the longer module stretch. It appears (especially due to the high thermal pad and spacing between screw and pipe) that it does partially cover the modules while wrapping around! The ident pattern appears to support that as well.

Mmmh No noise normalised, 100% Fan speed temperature and most importantly you didn't test the GDDR temp front versus back although the implication was there in the beginning?
Don't take this as harsh from me but especially the missing GDDR temp feels like a dent, missing in this piece!

I have this card and was able to DRASTICALLY improve the memory temperature (20+ Celsius reduction) by slathering thermal paste all over the vapor chamber perimeter. This will improve thermal contact with the metal part where the memory sits under. Obviously the GPU temps will rise a bit.

I once used that same Dell PC that you reviewed Steve, and it had a 2060 in it with a proper heatsink and thermal pads. It also didn t come with any added warranties or as much bloatware. I was pretty impressed with that machine after you reviewed it, but of course I don t use it anymore.

They used the same stamp for all of the backplate, to save money, and just used the thick thermal pad to accommodate for the lack of heatpipe on that side of the backplate. The other two didn't need it because it has the heatpipe to cover the other half of the memory chip.

is the alienware really that bad i thought it would be much better than the xps8930 since it uses a water cooler and the xps is a starved stock ish dell cooler that was in the g5 cause of the ridiculous power supply location for an air cooled system...

Hi, I have the 3080 thats the sister of this card. Putting thermal paste all the way out on the vapor chamber drops temps on the 3080 significantly. My memory was hitting 110, now it peaks at 74. take off those stickers and put paste

Looks like the backplate was made for that heat pipe to continue around where the taller thermal pad on the memory is. You can see the imprint of the heat pipe on the memory thermal pads on the other side of the die.
