hi there, recently my pc at my mother's has been acting up after cleaning the GPU and AIO, I have already opened a forum ticket about that issue which helped a bit however it has gone back and started to bug out again, I'm going with the conclusion that I messed up a part while cleaning the GPU and makes it overheat and cause frame drops.
i bought and built a brand new PC for my dads house and it works perfectly well. As I am going back to my mums I though if I was to bring over my new GPU (4060) that I know works perfectly and swap out my old GPU (2070) to see if in fact it is the GPU that is broken or possibly another part. after testing I will bring it back and place it back in the PC and continue to use it
the questions I have is
- is there any steps that I need to take to be able to safely put my new GPU into my old PC such as drivers, or anything I need to look out for that might cause harm to the new GPU?
- after testing am I able to safely plug back in my broken GPU and place my new one back in my new PC without any issues?
I'm just worried by swapping it into a PC with old software and no update or driver for the new GPU it will bug out.
old GPU is - GeForce RTX™ 2070 WINDFORCE 2X 8G
new GPU is - Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4060 AERO OC 8GB
