Apr 21, 2013 · It's been proven that pea method and x method can give you a couple degrees better temperature. Maybe you are using too much thermal paste. The GPU's heat spreader is much smaller in area than a CPU's. The reason you are getting thick coverage is because of the quantity, not the method. Apply a very small dot instead of a rice grain sized dot.

Jul 19, 2021 · Hi, I need to repaste my gpu (5700XT) because of pump out. Noctua NT-H1 lasts a week and half before needing to repaste, MX4 lasts about a month or so (let's say month and a half) Is there any good high viscosity (like OEM) thermal paste?

Sep 4, 2019 · Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is the best paste out that I know of, unless someone has made one better it'll still be on top. At the end of the day, so long as you've got decent paste from a reliable manufacturer you're fine. Specific paste choice is only an issue for extreme overclockers or people repasting laptops where even 2-3C gains are needed.

Feb 15, 2018 · When you apply it on a heat spreader, like on a CPU, put a line of thermal paste as large as a cooked grain of rice. When you put it on a processor die, like on a GPU, completely cover it. Applying too much thermal paste won't usually damage anything unless you get it everywhere and it's conductive.

Jun 13, 2023 · The recommendation was to change the thermal paste of my GPU to something different - in this case, the Honeywell PTM7950. However, Thermal Grizzly recently released the "KryoSheet", a graphene thermal pad with "outstanding and constant thermal conductivity". Has anyone testet it and can compare the two, specifically with usage in a GPU?

Jul 6, 2022 · Generally when taking a gpu apart theres 2 things to keep an eye on, the fan cables, and the thermal pads. You do not want either to break so be gentle when prying the card open, and make sure you properly disconnect the fan cable, and make sure to …

May 27, 2016 · I've got a GTX 780Ti SC REFERENCE Cooler for a few years and i figured i should replace the thermal paste, before putting the new thermal paste i was reaching an average of 82-83c, and when i opened my gpu the old thermal paste was almost gone, so i reaplied with mx4 and when i got back to test the temperatures, it went up to 95c so fast i had ...

Mar 18, 2023 · I have an old R9 390 Gigabyte card that is known for high temps & bad fans. I bought this used card 3 years ago and it works fine, but it always had this burned stuck thermal paste that I cannot wipe off. Also, after every 2 months I need to change thermal paste since it dries up really quickly & high temps return.

Aug 7, 2018 · Replaced thermal paste on my GPU today. Graphics Card = Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti AMP! Edition Method of applying thermal paste = 2 small blobs, one on the GPU and one on the heatsink contact Thermal Paste = Arctic MX4 Method of putting on GPU again = I screwed it in with the cross method.

Jun 2, 2021 · I changed the GPU paste to the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut one (12,5 W/MK) I removed the old one with microfiber towel and a very little isopropanol alcohol. I carefully remove all pads with metallic tweezers without touching any other metallic piece. Then I cleaned the VRAM cells again with microfiber towel and isoprop, and dried it.
