Cleaning GPU

brainfreeze · 22 Feb 2012 at 11:48

I'm about to fit my first water block, on my GPU. I plan to use Arcticclean to clean the original thermal pads off the chips etc. Whilst I usually use part 1(remover) then part 2 (purifier) for cpu's etc, I just wanted to clarify that I can use ( part2) the purifier, on the black ram chips etc.

Also, does it really matter if the inlet/outlet are at the top or bottom if the rad is positioned vertically, outside my case.

Thanks.

No problem with either of your queries.

Regards the rad, you will find it a bit easier to bleed if the inlet/outlets are uppermost with the case upright, unless the rad has a bleed screw. Still doable with them at the bottom but it would require more case manipulation compared to having them at the top.
