How to fix overheating GPU (the easy way)
HTML-код

- This 2080 SUPER came in with a noisy fan and overheating problem.
It was resolved by applying new thermal paste and propping the fan little higher so the impeller blades wont hit the wires.
I suspect the fan got worn out inside and dropped low causing it to touch the wires.

I love how cleverly EVGA engineered the 20xx cards. You just need to unscrew the four screw to take the heatsink off and repaste it. I recently repasted my 2080 XC2 Ultra and the hot spot temperature went from 103 degrees celsius to 74! Almost 30 degrees drop and the average went from 81 degrees celsius to around 61. It also was my first gpu repaste, it was fun!
Same here. Have a
2070 from ASUS. Hotspot was 107, but after a quick repaste it dropped to like 81 or so. Had to only unscrew 4 screws too
Good thing they got that to you before those wires were worn out. Could have easily worn through the shielding/cover on the wire and have a short-circuit, it's that exact kind of dumb unlucky stuff perfect to ruin a card. I wish stuff like redoing the thermal paste was more prominent/known, a lot of people don't even know thermal paste is a thing.
You recently motivated me to repaste my 4 year old rx 5700xt. Thank you so much! The paste was comepletely dry and even a corner was not covered by the paste. Temperatures decreased by 10°C. I was very suprised since (I think) sapphire's designs are pretty good. I'm very dissapointed that they cheaped out on thermalpaste.
damn that sucks, usually sapphire has quite good pastes imo, maybe just unlucky or it slid over time causing a corner to be more exposed. Thermal paste drying is mostly fine depending on what paste is used, sometimes it’s supposed to dry for longevity reasons, slightly higher temps later down the line but should last long with no issues
I've been in I.T for almost 20y , what you saw was expected. 4y is a long time. GPU's get verrrry hot and the paste will eventually dry out.
Looking at my Sapphire rx 5700xt very sheepishly, I feel it's eyes burning into my soul. I've known it needs doing for a while now. 😊 What paste did you use? I've always used MX-4 but northwestrepair seemed rather disparaging about it.
@@mikerochburns4104 mx-4 is good, same with mx 2 and 6, all great
@@mikerochburns4104 Arctic silver 5, Thermalright TFX, GD-2 from Alix, kooling monster Kold-01 are some pastes suitable for direct-core chips.
MX5 actually performs a bit better than MX4 if I remember correctly, but with time it will cause issues. That's why it has been discontinued and is not advisable to buy or use it. Use MX4 or MX6 instead, MX6 performs better but the viscosity is so damn high it's harder to separate the heatsink than with MX4.
High viscosity lasts longer on hot direct-core chips. Easy to spread pastes give good temperature results for the first weeks/months and are more suited for desktop CPU's with heatspreader.
You get that card back here and re-ball the core! How dare you! (That was an easy fix. Gotta love it when things aren't always nuclear curveballs.)
For GPUs & laptops, i recommend MX-6. In accordance to my own testing (very low sample - only 2 GPUs - 6600XT & 3060 ti) it is almost on par (within margin of error) with PTM7950.
Most of the pastes recommended for CPUs (MX-4, NT-H1/H2, etc) will pump out over time.
MX-5 should be avoided at all cost, as it is faulty product, which Arctic themselves stopped manufacturing.
Many people don't realize that different types of thermal paste or thermal interface material in general are best depending on the situation. Desktop CPUs with an integrated heatspreader behave differently than any bare-die chips like GPUs or laptop CPUs.
With an IHS it doesn't matter when a tiny spot isn't covered, so you want a more runny thermal compound to get the layer as thin as possible, but with bare-die chips you need to make sure every part of the surface is covered so the material needs to be more viscous. Which is why many manufacturers have started to resort to phase transition material.
Sadly many "experts" will tell you phase transition material is dried up thermal paste and recommend to replace it, which doesn't help performance at all, it might be ever so slightly better on initial tests but will degrade very quickly.
well PTM7950 is the best choice tbh, counters pumpout caused by copper expanding its own size by temperature
@@resko8758 while i agree, it´s tricky to apply and kinda expensive in comparison with any thermal paste - aka not worth buying. Except the case, when you don´t plan to open the GPU ever again.
@@Alvin853 i think the manufacturers should be more transparent, when it comes to used thermal interfaces. Like tell me the exact brand of paste/phase transition material used, along with brand and thickness of all pads used, so i don´t have to open the card without all required resources ready on hand to put it back together.
Damn! The fan noise went so well with background music. Little RGB, and you have a party machine.
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Honest repair👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
MX5 is a very inconsistent paste. It's formulated wrong or has suffered a manufacturing defect, so it often doesn't work properly. The same fate befell MX3 funny huh, one speaks of the Arctic odd-number curse. So both were discontinued after a short time and replaced by MX4 and MX6 respectively.
Everything looks so simple with NWR ^^
Darn, so easy fix, that everyone forgets! :D
Thanks for the video!
My PC keeps shutting off randomly. I believe it is because the GPU is overheating. I know I probably need to replace the thermal paste as my GPU (It is an RX 480) is 8 years old and I don't think it has ever being repasted before. The only problem is I am to scared to take it apart. I would hate if something broke as I don't have enough money to replace it yet.
I had an overheating Asus Dual Mini 3060Ti, 100% Fanspeed and 100°C hotspot. I disassembled it, which was hard... Some screws for the heatsink were under the backplate and some screws of the backplate were under the heatsink...yeah... I used pliers and a drill... it went fine. But after putting it back together the temps were the same. :D
My case was the problem. For some reason the hot air didn't move away from the card, despite having a fan blowing from below past the card.
The air from the fan probably stopped the air form exiting the heatsink, since it is turned 90° (like a blower card) compared to normal heatsinks. In an open air bench it runs normal and cool.
I eventually sold the 3060Ti and bought a 4090FE.. the 4090 is in the same case, but it doesn't throttle even with 600W blasting through it..
Im sorry to say but that thermal paste you using is a piece of crqp, you need to use a hight w/m.k like a value of 15 or more cause that way it will help cool netter because heat is transferred quickly to the heatsink from the GPU. Mx6 isn't good.
Great repair again✨
plz do more northridgefix cosplays
I called it by the noise, once I heard it I said the fan blades are touching something. You learn these things by experience.....
Neat! Fan should become a beatboxer.
Do you prefer the Upsiren UX Pro thermal putty compared to the leading thermal pad brands? Specifically for VRAM and the VRMs?
hoping that u read this. what is the thermal paste u use and recommend to people?
on some 1660 , 1650 or even 1050ti cards that have poor aluminum only heat spreader i noticed the delta is high from the box. just saying :)
nice
@northwestrepair Hi, I need help with a gigabyte xtreme GTX 980. The fans are not working. What should I do?
Someone could tell me what is the right thickness pad for a Red Devil RX 6700XT?
i wanna hear your opinion about butchered gpu, like it has missing 2 pipes in the heatsink, although idle is reasonably cold at 40C but when stressed it goes up to 85C... will adding good thermal paste will improve its temperature? it is xfx rx580 that i got from china, im doing undervolt as well using the radeon software so it wouldnt get toast it's just when stressed enuff it goes beyond 80c which im worried... thanksss
damn that is a good looking card
Hi,
Why are core so big in desktop graphics card where as they are so small in laptop?
What thermal paste do you recommend for GPU only and GPU/CPU? I heard that MX-6 is the best now for long-term use as they thought about the pumpout effect and made it more viscous to last longer.
MX4
Could you do a thermal paste benchmark down the line on multiple cards maybe? Think you would be the most qualified RUclipsr. Thermal grizzly extreme pink paste has worked fine for my 3090 fe with a 12 delta and 73C with 400W stock fan curve
@@Multimeter1 there are plenty already
I use mx6 on a 4090 and a 6950xt and it's very solid.
No pumpout, better than the phase change crap they had from the factory.
@@PSXman9 Yeah, i want see soild benchmark for it between MX-4 and MX-6
my 2070s runs too hot 83c stable and 90 on hotspot but when i use my undervolt oc profile, it runs better and cooler around 71c . idk whats happening there, cleaned, new pastes and new pads, it fits perfectly but temps doesnt change so i always use my oc profile.
2000 series cards undervolt nicely, my 2070 ram around low 70s with higher fan curve
Undervolted to 925mv and it runs at max 65c at 40% fan speeds, usually most games it runs low 60s. So around 10 or so degree difference for me ( ;
Pls do more videos about laptop gpus too
mx5 was discontinued because the longevity issues and replaced by the new mx6
Brilliant
the Delta is too high? is Delta the hot spot on the GPU?🤔
no, its the difference between core and hotspot
My 6900xt sapphire se in game temp up 80c so this is normal or need repaste thermal paste?
It's thermal paste if your case has decent airflow but if your PC build is DIY I'd say it's a matter of airflow... or both airflow and thermal paste. Anyway, a 300W TDP require some good airflow.
what thermal paste do you use btw?
What are nylong washers?
nylon plastic
@@northwestrepair thank you!
Ha I have this same 2080 Super.
Short happy ending story 😅
Nice beat why u fix it😂
my gpu is going on 81degrees
This is why i always get ASUS
As in how the RTX3070Ti TUF from ASUS; the VRAM isn't completely covered with thermal pads, nor make proper contact with the heatsink?
@@ycageLehT Haha, that I can confirm.
They should stop selling MX5 cz its realy bad one.
Rotary gpu lol 😂
how about overheating core even fanspeed set to 90% 😂
heatsink does not contact the core.
Dry paste.
@@northwestrepairi already changed the paste & it's in contact with the heatsink
@@arnolfogamboa5164try different heatsink, heatpipes could be broken
@@arnolfogamboa5164 try holy water
I used to replace the coolers completely of some MSI Armor cards because the pipes lost the liquid and were not able transfer the heat. Usually, if you take the cooler apart, the paste must be very thin, almost see through. If it's not then you have it wrong.
couldnt be shorter than this...
you need to change that fan... no cap that fan is broken. meaning everytime i spins its hitting the wires.. one day if will fall off.. like mies
Everything will fail one day.
@@northwestrepair Thank you for your reply! yes true that as it may be. i have had the same issue. when it comes to evga card the 'second fan' on the 2 card models seem to fail. mines did the same thing thinking it was the wire. even after fixing it. it seems the plastic is broken (cracked) in it and it may be holding on by a tread.. mines evga 2070 super.. has 1 broken fan that evga didnt want to replace and a broken rgb strip that cause the gpu to not work cause its shorted. the thermal pads are the worst ever that will keep leaking liquid on the gpu socking up all the dust untill it usless.. at some point using the gpu.. the fan blades broke and fell off.. still need to get one T.T
@@hafeez387 I don't know how many EVGA cards you had. Ive had maybe 50+ and not one of them had a failed fan except this one.
@@northwestrepair true.. u speak from all the work u have done. maybe its just a few cards that had this issue and i was just unlucky..
🤣The first step to fix GPU overheating is to use thermal pads at least half millimeter thicker than the original ones. This way the Thermal paste on the GPU will be very thick and will not be able to transfer the heat to the cooler and we can count on temperatures probably above 90 Celsius which is perfect for the Winter. 🤣
P.S. For those who may not know, do not use thermal pads thicker than the original ones, ever.
"That'll be $150" :) Price of convenience I guess.
i dont think i went that high for a simple fix like that.
why would you even drop a comment like this when you have absolutely no idea what his actual pricing is?
