PicturesThe front of the card was insulated using rubber gum. We used the stock cooling for the memory and pwm installed because it makes the whole card more stable (physically) and lowers the heat transfer from GPU to the memory.
The back was insulated using the same rubber gum.
Setup after an hour of testing.
The longer the session lasts, the more ice is formed on the GPU cooling. On the background, you can read-out the voltage during 3D load.
The ice is spreading!
Session finished ... the ice spread all the way to the left of the card, but never formed an issue during the overclocking session.
PWM has no ice on it. The insulation was perfect.
