GFX Clean ?

[Garonazz]

Ive got a GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II

From 880 factory OC I overclocked to 910.

My temps get as high as 68 during some games and thats with autofan on Afterburner, and I've read somewhere they should be lower.

Im missing a 200mm top fan from the case, so im getting that to help the temps, but about the card itself - How would I go about cleaning it ? I never dissasembled a card or anything so I thought would blowing a can of compressed air in the heatsink area help a little ?

The temps are fine no need to take anything apart.

Lower than 68? If you were saying they were in the 90s then maybe I could agree with you but 68 is barely tepid when it comes to a GPU.

Don't worry about it.

For future reference and after looking at the cooler on the card you have it looks like the shroud would need to come off and it looks like there are a few screws dotted around the edge of the card that look like likely candidates. Once you get the shroud off you should be able to get into the heatsink fins better. I don't think you'll need to remove the fans or anything.

68 in game is nothing. If the temps were nearer like 98 in a number of games then I would suggest cleaning it.

Use a can of air to blow dust out no need to take it apart it you have to.
