I want to thank you (3 years after you made this video). I followed your guide because my EVGA 980ti is 5 years old and running at 85c all the time. After cleaning and applying new Arctic mx-4 thermal paste it's now running at 65c in the same games. Amazing. The old thermal paste on mine was even worse than yours, with less than half of the chip covered. So once again, thankyou for guiding me through this quite scary repair!!!
You're welcome! Pinned!!
@@Joeteck I'm in the same boat. My 980ti classified SC has a squeeky fan and i am very concerned about taking it apart and breaking something. Thanks for such a great breakdown. I'm going to change my thermal paste too! Also Subbing for more content.
"Bastards" That gets a like. lol
lol, thank you for the like!
Here in 2021 just got one same model off my friend it needs a cleaning. Very helpful video thanks!
Pinned!
me too, got it from a friend. He had cleaned it up just like from the outside, never taken apart.
So glad I came across this. I need to replace the fans & never thermal paste before. This video was great to show me exactly what I need to do. Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for my weekend project I'm having heating issues and I clean it every month with a fan but it's over 7 years now time for new thermal paste and a full clean up
You are welcome!
I had the exact problem at 5:55 thank you so much!
THANK YOU. This video actually really helped
Awesome!
Hey im walkin here
Haha, ok..
Thanks for the information, I'm am planning on painting the shroud and backplate white, for an all white build.
Very cool
Thanks Joe, good stuff. I found the hidden screw just a tick before you and thought "Oh, he's gonna love that" haha. I pen knife works good right there too, get's under the sticker with no damage.
Hahahaha!! Thanks for the comment
I am planning to do a cleaning on mine as well I am really glad for this video, I was scared to do it but this vid gives me confidence
Pinned, great comment
@@Joeteck thanks! As a late follow up, I dropped my idle temps by roughly 15c with the clean up and new thermal paste. Wouldn't have done it without your vid! Thanks a ton :)
@@ploopploop Awesome! And thank you for those kind words!
I came here to figure out how to get that damn side screw out. Not impressed that they did that. Thanks for the great vid!
ty
Cool thanks for the info.
You're welcome
BTW, Pinned!
I've just been cleaning mine and ran into that screw hiding under the sticker. That's a real jerk move. Great video though, thanks!
That was a jerk move, as if they wanted you the break the plastic shroud. Unreal! Awesome comment.
do i need to change thermal pads as well ?
No, nothing is wrong with them, thier integrity is untouched or worn. You're good to keep those.
Great question!
Hi Joe, do you remember how many degrees you shaved off re-thermaling this GPU?
It takes about 100 hours of curing. Not going to see am immediate change. Each thermal paste has a different curing time. However if I would to guess probably 2 to 5 C
@@Joeteck thanks
Hey! Thank you for this video. It's April 25, 2021 and this video is from 2018 and seeing the thermal compound dried and cracking in this video I'm scared to see what mine looks like haha. Never cleaned it and replaced thermal paste but temps have been getting worse so i think its time.
It is always good to make sure its perfect. It may act like a better than new card after your done. OEM cards are built quickly without the same care as the ower. :) good luck, and thank you for the comment
@@Joeteck yeah, and when I said I hadn't cleaned it, I have used an electric air duster but never taken the card apart. Should I probably replace the thermal pads as well?
@@reddeadflame1 no, the pads are fine, should still be soft, so you're good there.
Only this vid shows how to take the shroud off! I was dismantling my card and can’t figure out how the hell is the shroud still sticking to the fins assembly. Turns out there is a screw under the sticker!!
You skipped around.. I did say that
Had 980 ti SC cards that were screamers and worked great up past 1450 MHz in SLI, only used very briefly between them being a sale price and 1080 SC cards launching and replacing them. However now after pulling the 980 ti's out of cool dark storage neither card can operate anywhere near correctly with games. Needs underclocked and power limit increased just to get Civ 6 to not instantly crash and GTA VI can't run past the stock EVGA oc speeds and needs the 110% power. Cards run the same 60-65 degress I remember so I think it's some other planned obsolecense fuckery or else they didn't really sell me sound silicon if it can't hang out for a few years both cards are exhibiting the same issues. Not very happy with GPU failure being a feature so not really excited about 3000 series or any of it anymore if this is the state of my flagship product. Thanks for the video but don't think it's worth messing with just a bad purchase decision to be corrected.
I did hear crazy rumors that the 3090 cards have RAM on both sides causing some heat issues. Hense the cooling fans on both sides.. I will be getting the RTX3090TI when available. I will do an unboxing and review of it. Probably EVGA.
Hello friend, I'm talking about Brazil. I don't know if it's still important to you, but the issue is easily resolved by uninstalling Geforce Experience. I had the same problems and they were all resolved.
I just did this on my evga 980ti acx 2.0 the other day. Removed the heatsink (be careful with the two connectors!), blew out dust from the fan and fins using canned air, wiped out the old thermal paste from both the heatsink and GPU using alcohol and a clean rag. Applied thermal grizzly kryonaut thermal paste on the center of the gpu (about pea size amount). Put everything back together. No noticeable performance difference but i did notice the fans did not need to run as fast or as often. (I only play on 1080p with a 144hz monitor)
Now, I'll probably hold off on upgrading for another generation. Thank you for this video!
Is the thermal paste similar to CPUs?
@@alexandrealferan7144 yep! The same thermal paste you use on CPUs you can also use on GPUs.
@@alexandrealferan7144 n p po p
Late to the party but thanks for the hidden screw.
When i bought it years ago, was no need.
@@Joeteck I was able to reapply thermal paste and get my EVGA GTX 980 Ti working again. It was crashing games so I replaced it with an EVGA GTX 1060 😜. I really didn't see anything that would cause problems. It wasn't very dusty. The Thermal paste didn't look that bad. I'm just glad to have it back again. I'm so glad I found your video. I couldn't find that dang screw. Subscribed
@@olewornhat You're welcome sir! and thank you for the SUB! You're the 10,480th Thank you!
I CTUALLY have this VideoCard... and wanted to upgrade, so I bought an 8gb Radeon... WORST MISTAKE EVER ! the Radeon and all other cards I have tried REFUSE to play the games I have on my Dinosaur DDR3 pc... ACCEPT this card, it has been running hard balls out FAITHFULLY for me for over 4years now, and I found it in the trash... NVIDIA ! this card is awesome and you guys did this one right even though it's old... GOOD JOB ! ps: will run Destiny 2 VERY WELL, along with Fallout76 GTA5 and MANY MORE other games... Just Cause It's Old Doesn't Mean That It's Bad. STAY AWESOME MF'ers .!.. =_=
Awesome comment!!!!!!!
why would you not do a run through first so the video walk through was smooth and less awkward?
Because I like to do real time videos, so it does not look faked and more easy than it is. It wasn't awkward at all. Think positive. I just helped you out.
wow, didn't think to use a can of air, just uses his "mouth" to blow the dust off. That's a really good way to get not only germs but your own spit onto the heat sink and potentially risk shorting the GPU out upon reapplying the heat sink.
You obviously have no idea about "Germ therapy" or evaporation. Look those things up. Plus I am blowing not licking the heat sink.. (face plant)
Also blowing and spitting are two different things.. troll
it was a big WTF to me as well and so it's my first and last visit to this channel as I'm not going to take any tips from someone who cleans PC parts like that, with no duster, no IPA
@@campvagn because you do not need it.. see ya
