sweetdarkdestiny Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Use a hairdryer to warm (not heat) it up a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Play a game for 20 mins should get it hot enough. Why do you want to change the paste? I have seen pictures of the gpu being ripped off with the heat sink, try to twist and pull rather than levering it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the gpu running hot ? I would say NO Just leave it if it is not broken don't fix it Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I agree. Its not the first time we've had this discussion and the conclusion I thought was that replacing the TIM had minimal effect on the reported temperatures. That's what I've found. Add to that the potential risk to the chips of removing a well stuck on heat-sink and that ^ is the best advice. Leave it be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
