Yo I just did this with the 1070 in my gfs PC. Awesome! dropped 5 degrees but more importantly in the AUTO fan mode we dropped from 60% to 52% with 20 minute stress test when the cooler is saturated. Less noise from my gfs PC

Great video, pleasant voice and narrative! Great to see that just by cleaning the gpu and applying new thermal past and replacing thermal paste you've achieved around 5°C cooler temperature

[@powerdude_dk]

Nice. It made me at ease to have your video to guide me.

You should try using phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer and performs in my experience works better than traditional pastes, and instead of thermal pads give thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro.
It is also good to do undervolting.

Hey thanks. I re-gooped my chip and I am idling around 35-40, I only played TF2 on it but it only hit around 51.

I have the same gtx 1070 rog strix board, I need to know the thickness of the thermal pads used

[@shivamsingh827]

Both 1mm and 1.5mm

Thanks for making this video. I've had mine since 2016 and haven't replaced the thermal paste yet. Would you mind posting links for the pads that you used. I would also like to find a single use thermal paste clean/replacement kit because I don't need everything in the tube for a one-time job. Also, I would like to disconnect the LED lighting if I do this. Not sure if that's possible with the wiring configuration....

[@TechGadgetsMedia]

I do recommend getting one small tube of paste as you might make a mistake with only one time use ones, even professionals do. Even if you use a small amount from the tube you can save it for later and it does not expire really.. I used 2 small ones from Artic MX series, they are reliable. For the thermal pads I just went with a generic one but the name for that is Aairhut 1mm and 1.5mm
Also, for the LED's I'm pretty sure you can turn it off via bios or a software?

[@redgeallen8867]

@@TechGadgetsMedia Yeah I would prefer to control it with the drivers but that doesn't appear to be an option in Windows 10.

[@TechGadgetsMedia]

There is a software called Aura for this GPU, that should do the trick.

[@zardonpl]

What thickness of thermal pads this gpu uses?

[@TechGadgetsMedia]

I ordered 1mm and 1.5mm for this.

[@LucasBednar]

Me watching this because my gpu is constantly at 95 Celsius and causing it to lose its core clock. Do you think i could buy a set of screws from amazon and thermal paste to fix it and help it keep cool?

[@TechGadgetsMedia]

Why do you need a set of screws? Do you mean screwdriver?

[@LucasBednar]

@@TechGadgetsMedia No the previous owner of card took it apart to paint it white and lost 1 of the heatsink screws and like 4-5 of the shroud screws.

[@TechGadgetsMedia]

Oh wow.. in that case yeah, you should get that sorted. You need to screw everything down so that the heatsink has a good contact with the processing unit.

[@LucasBednar]

@@TechGadgetsMedia what screws do I get? That’s what I can’t find info on
