So i like many others have painted my card in the style of the Titan X but full black instead of leaving the top/bottom strips silver as i never understood why nvidia did that.... but anyway the previous owner of this card said it was "well looked after" which was a lie as when i had received it it was caked in dust inside & out, during the painting i cleaned the plates prior to spraying, blew out the heatsink for dust and brushed the fan fins but had little effect on the fan which has stubborn residue stuck between the fins
i wondered if the pads where the VRMs are would benefit with changing and with what.
i had put Arctic Silver 5 on the heatsink as it seems to work just fine elsewhere..
the window is stained like a horrid brown colour and i have scrubbed real hard to try and clean it but yet it remains stained
i had acquired another 980 cooler from the bay for £12 but unfortunately its missing all of its screws and they are seeming impossible to source... i bought it as i can then find a GTX 980 much cheaper then change whatever cheap cooler is on with this one
i need some advice on what cleaning items would work well to help get this back to a nice clean and working state, i had done research prior as always but as always i get mixed asnwers which are inconclusive
any help much appreciated
