I've been having my GTX 1070 AERO 8GB card for a good few years now..
In the beginning I had no problems with it, the tempreture was mostly at a cool 50-55C under the maximum load. I was honestly surprised how good it was.
But now I'm struggling to let it not reach 70C with an extra big fan blowing from a side to help with the entire cooling of my PC..
Surprisingly it helps about 0% from my POV, despite the fans on the GPU and the fan from the outside, it just doesn't seem to be cooling anything, so my gut is telling me that it may be that the heat isn't exactly being transfered to the heat block as much anymore. So even at idle the GPU is at 30C with all the cooling on, when it used to be at 25-28C with no fans.
Now, I perfectly know that this is nothing bad to be in these temps. But I do want to hold my GPU at it's best condition as I clean it routinely of dust as well.
So my question is, should I give it a try at changing the thermal paste of my gpu that may be getting on the low key now?
Is there also any kind of thermal paste recommendations that I could apply ? I don't know any of them.
