How can i keep my passively cooled gpu cool (gt 1030) when gaming

i'm not a proffessional about graphics cards, so i have to ask you all another question, so my gpu is passive cooled, it doesn't have a fan, so how can i keep it cool if it doesn't have a fan?

Don't tell ppl to blow it out with there lungs lol, someones going to take you seriously, do it and then end up spitting on parts which will short them out when they turn the system on.

i won't blow it with my lungs, lol, but what do you think, should i buy a fan or should i just clean the pc more often

You can buy a fan for it if you'd like as that should lower the temp a bit but I would still clean it every so often to keep temps down, not just on the GPU but also your CPU. Keeping both the CPU & GPU under the throttle temps will ensure the system will game the best it can.

ok, thanks for the help, i think i'll just stick with the passive version cause it's queit and i'll clean my pc often

this is the last thing i'll ask you, can i clean the pc with a vacuum

You can, just be careful to not damage the parts (same would apply with canned air/compressor).

well, i'm a bit scared to vacuum it, but i guess i'll have to, and can i vacuum all the parts, or are you sure some parts will damage if i vacuum it?

Just don't touch the nozzle to the actual parts, but if you don't want to risk it then used canned air.

When you buy a passively cooled card it's because low noise is important to you. This comes with a trade off, and that is the card will get hotter under load.

So if you buy a card for gaming and you choose a passively cooled card, you're doing it wrong. If you buy a passively cooled card and then attach fans to it, you're doing it wrong.

You can do whatever you like, it's just that components are designed for certain purposes and to work in certain ways. When you buy a component meant for one kind of use and try to force it into another kind of use that's just the hard way of doing things. That's when you can expect inferior results. It's best to identify your needs, then find the component that best fits those needs.
