X-clamp Help
« on: February 03, 2020, 08:36:00 AM »

Hi all

I've done the x-clamp fix and it let me boot up just fine and allow 5-10 minutes of game play where it then freezes. After reboot it then displays the 3 rrod.  If I leave it for about 10-15 minutes the same thing happens again.......it boots fine game play for about 5-10 min then 3 rrod.

My x-clamp fix contained:-
8 x Machine Screws
8 x Spring Washers
8 x Nylon Washers
8 x Metal Washers
I used the arctic silver 5 thermal paste.

Any idea/help on solving this problem?

Thanks
RR

Probably your mainboard is bending and when the heat raise up, it freeze. If you used any washers under the board.. remove them. Also loosen up a bit the screws so the heatsink of the GPU get parallel to the mainboard.
Let me know what happened.
