help my graphics card is dying
I noticed the typical 5-degree drop around 9900k, which is why I delayed it. It seems I should locate my heatgun and tackle this as well. I already have my Dauber kit ready for the job. Sorry for taking your thread, but I’d repaste that GPU. Four to five years is a long time for thermal paste—seems like I’ll need to do this on both my 2080 Ti models. But I’ll have to drain my custom loop first.
I could be lucky with the degree drop, I didn't overclock the CPU, just used XMP for the boost.
I experienced a 20-degree drop from just applying the regular cooling paste last week. That happened two years ago.
Consider the compatibility of your components before purchasing a new GPU.
