Today I removed cover + cooling from my graphics card to clean it a bit.
Before I tried to measure the cards temperatureunder load with GPU-Z (nice tool btw.)
I experienced about 100 °C during BF4 and 100% fan speed.
This is how the fan and heat sink looked when I opened the cards coverage: This is how the thermal compound looked before and after cleaning the heat sink: Fresh thermal compound, assembling all, I did the next test and yes:
max. Temp about 74°C and fan way more silent at about 60% speed.
When have you cleaned your PC the last time?
