1. are there screws for the vram coldplate or its just the one screw beside the display ports which holds it all , because i cant see any of them on yours and even mine too , dont know if the service centre guy lost it or its like that only ? can yo ucheck on your gpu and reply ...... 2. i have seen some other guys spread the thermal paste with spatula like u did and then again put a decent size dot in middle and then put the heatsink , i guess its because after spreading with its uneven and cant be trusted so they put a dot again , what do you think of this method ?
Thank you! I have this exact card and have been seeing stability issues recently. I figured it's just "dying" and is due for replacement, but then I thought I'd do some research first. I ran OCCT stress testing and found that the GPU temp under load was sitting at around 79 degrees which is fine but then noticed the "GPU Hot Spot Temp" getting up to 92 degrees. Is that bad? I assume it's bad... I used the MSI afterburner app to manually set the fans to max speed and it seems more stable now. All this is just to say, I think it's worth a fresh thermal paste application since I've never done it, and I've had the card since new (around 7-8 years now?)... so thanks for the how-to guide!
Comorei uma desse modelo , a tres dias , nao usei 100 porcento dela mas no furmark pegou 91 graus e quando eu jogo gta v com tudo maximo pega 80c esta tudo certo?
should i remove the plastic form the gpu backplate because its actualy hindering the heat from reaching the backplate directly , why did msi even give that ?
i just did it on my one it now idles at 36⁰C and goes a maximum of 74⁰C whereas it used to shoot up to 85⁰ and throttle underload. Thanks a lot 👍.
nice temp change there
you are the GOAT , thank you a lot
your welcome
very useful and clear, thanks!
cheers

Great to read this has helped you Cool this GPU!

please Tell me the name of the liquid you use for cleaning . 🙂
ipa aka isopropyl alcohol
Nice vid, only too bad you did not a before and after temp comparison.
I don't have time to do those sorry but being as the thermal paste wasn't changed in 4 year.. I suspect it will be a good improvement
i replaced mine gpu thermal paste after 6 years (yeah i know sorry) and it went down almost 10 degrees, but in my case it was gtx 1070 gaming x
great works
Thanks

not sure of the pros and cons of removing it sorry
Is it important to clean around the die?
it shouldnt hurt doing that
What is that Liquid r u using in the video?
Thermal paste
Do you mean the isopropyl alcohol?
does anyone know the thermal pad thickness for this gpu?
Not sure sorry
Apply thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro. And for the core phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950.
You can find it online with diagrams what size goes where
Qual o mílimitros da thermalpd
i dont know the thermal pad size
