Replacing Thermal Paste

[dannywaugh1]

I all,

I have a GTX 970 and it seems to be getting a little warm when playing. For the record I play at 1080p and don't really play heavy GPU games.

I have some Arctic Silver 5 and wounder if using it on the GPU will be OK or is it best to use something else?

Plus any do's and don'ts? Iv never taken a cooler off a GPU.

Thanks!

i have a strix 970 that i repasted a few weeks back, its pretty much exactly the same as you do for your cpu. clean the old stuff off., put a decent amount of new stuff on and re assemble, old cards like ours probably dont have thermal pads to worry about.

best thing is to search google/youtube for a teardown of your specific model if you want to be sure

Hope you find this useful,

Cheers guys I will take a look at the video and do some searching to see if I can find my model.I'll keep you posted.
