Unscrew the heatsink– If you turn over the card, you should see several tiny screws. Your card might also have a backplate, but that is simply another layer to remove. When you’re done, there might be some additional wires connecting the PCB and the cooler. We recommend that you unpl...
But this is a complex method, so you should handle it cautiously. Follow the steps to avoid damaging your cards. Unplug thePCIe power cablesfrom the GPU. Unmount the GPU outside of the case carefully. Remove the screws from the heatsink. ...
Thermal paste is a highly conductive material usually used to coat components such as the CPU and GPU (graphics processing unit). Thermal paste helps to dissipate heat more efficiently and prevent temperatures inside your machine from reaching critical levels. But thermal paste is degradable and grad...
while having low speed and weak wind force, while others focus on wind pressure, emphasizing that the entire radiator can be blown through from the front, and have air suction added on the back if necessary. The fan helps remove heat from the cooling fins, thereby lowering the CPU temperatur...
Remove the side panel of your case Use compressed air to blow out loose dust Hold fans still while cleaning to prevent over-spinning Clean heat sinks and GPU carefully Pay special attention to: CPU fan and heatsink Graphics card fans
