need advice on how to change gpu thermal pads and paste

[odd sierra]

before

during

the data from hwinfo64\

[buoyant minnow]

yeah man that vram is fine

if you have any normal thermal paste you can just put that on your GPU die, thats what i do

[odd sierra]

is that the vram

VR

[ashen axle]

I have the exact same model and just under volted it

[odd sierra]

ok cool i have some nth1 just changed cpu paste yesterday

[buoyant minnow]

5700xt opening is really easy

[odd sierra]

i've been having severe crashing
specially after update kb5063878 and i'm not the only one

[buoyant minnow]

just remember to unplug ur fan connector before u take the heatsync off

[buoyant minnow]

u can still undervolt thats not a GPU instability issue

goat nexus

[odd sierra]

i tried opening it a month ago and ran into issues with fan screws ill retry and post updates

i didn't follow this video though
i followed jaytwocents video

he had a special paste mod to try or whatever

[odd sierra]

undervolting should give me more stability though right

[ashen axle]

The nitro was one of the best 5700xt thermally

[buoyant minnow]

no but doing too low of a voltage can fuck up ur stability

[odd sierra]

🗿

[buoyant minnow]

just know that thermal paste wont last as long on a gpu die as a cpu, id do this temporarily then buy PTM if you want longevity

or wtv its called

[ashen axle]

I just did the amd auto under volt option and my hot spot has been under 100c

[buoyant minnow]

i got a very good gpu, can stable 1075mV

this or that

[buoyant minnow]

ltt one

[odd sierra]

and what size would my gpu need

[buoyant minnow]

the LTT one will work, you can cut it to size. it turns into liquid under heat

[odd sierra]

ok

just apply to size

[buoyant minnow]

ya just cut it to the size of the gpu die or close to it

if u arent perfect its fine its not conductive

[odd sierra]

ill get going on the gpu paste change now

i'm just worried a bit about it

[buoyant minnow]

itll be fine just unplug the fan connector before pulling the heatsync off

[odd sierra]

do i follow same application as cpu

like a pea size in center

[buoyant minnow]

Do a small line in the middle

[odd sierra]

ok

[buoyant minnow]

is it going well

[odd sierra]

Thanks for checking up Had to fix awning outside

[odd sierra]

Getting started

I did that

[buoyant minnow]

do it from top to bottom or you can manually spread it too

[odd sierra]

oh i'm done

i did one line in the middle like you said

i didn't spread or anything just put it together

[buoyant minnow]

das fine

[buoyant minnow]

much better

its not 110 anymore

[odd sierra]

man

idk

it's climbing

[buoyant minnow]

itll never get near this hot while gaming btw

[odd sierra]

roger

also i hope it will be even less when i buy that pad you told me about

from LTT

[buoyant minnow]

the pad will make it lower and itll last longer

[odd sierra]

it's stabilizing around 95

so 15c drop

[buoyant minnow]

nice

[odd sierra]

although what's weird is gpu temp was lower

[buoyant minnow]

yeah the gpu temp is the temperature on the edge on this chip

the hotspot is the hottest part of the gpu

lmk if u want help under volting

[odd sierra]

interesting when i took it apart the paste was covering the perimeter around the chip

was flaky in the center

[buoyant minnow]

yeah it spread and some just went over

[odd sierra]

stablized around 98c

better than 110 i guess

[odd sierra]

the pad will cover it all i suppose

[buoyant minnow]

ya

[odd sierra]

thank you a lot man for the help

[buoyant minnow]

yw

[odd sierra]

https://a.co/d/jeLwopn

been told to get that

because the one on LTT is out of stock

[buoyant minnow]

Wtf they make them I had no idea

I should’ve asked them to send me some with the aio noooo

Shit I need to cop some

Looks like heilos isn’t actually PTM

[odd sierra]

This new rabbit hole is a bit confusing ngl

I always thought of pastes only and gummy stuff for vram

[odd sierra]

Should I get two one for cpu one for gpu

[buoyant minnow]

I’d just use the paste you used on the gpu on your cpu

TPM best on gpus imo

If you already pasted your CPU then dw about it

[odd sierra]

.

Check out first review picture

[odd sierra]

.

[buoyant minnow]

Can you show me cause I just see a water loop for the first one

[odd sierra]

Also per the comparison sheet thermalight ranks higher

[odd sierra]

I posted screenshot above

[odd sierra]

.

[buoyant minnow]

I’m confused what am I looking at

It says only use on gpu cause paste fine

[odd sierra]

He says it’s same performance as mx-6

So wouldn’t the thermalight be a better option

It ranks next to the ptm7950

Which I can’t find anywhere

[buoyant minnow]

I’m not sure how it’ll be good on a gpu since it’s not listed as PTM on thermal rights website

All of these PTM pads won’t have a crazy thermal conductivity, thermal grizzly is a great brand. They’re mostly for longevity and not like kryonsut performance

Have you watched this video

He mentions moddiy as a valid site to buy the Honeywell one from

[buoyant minnow]

the 30x20 will fit ur gpu

god damn those shipping prices
