Right, i have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with a HD 5770 reference design gpu. I cannot remove the gpu. It is 1) Stuck in it's PCI-E slot and 2) is under a massive metal panel.

Someone please help me ;_; it runs at 105 degrees (celsius) and i got new thermal paste for it right here and dust remover. Pictures Provided

pull that plastic clip(to the right of the PCI slot) up towards the CPU. This will let you pull it out. Dont be surprised if you have to use quite a bit of force.

Once you got it loose, you should be able to pull it out by turning it a little so that it doesn't get stuck under the metal part anymore!

1. metal plate, that comes off, as you can see there are two pieces where the bottom arrow is pointing,

2. plastic clip, bends towards the CPU cooler to release the pcie card.

If its a reference AMD GPU it will always have a loud fan and high temps no matter what you do to it...

It may, but 105 degrees is far too high for it. I was hoping for it to maybe top 95 degrees when hitting absolute max and cleaning away the dust and reapplying new thermal paste

What are the temps now?

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

You realize that the 5000 series was quieter and lower power draw than the competing products of the time?

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

going by this logic a reference r9 290 is quieter than a FX 5900 ultra so .... you get the point, its just silly to compare 2 pc components that are from time periods that far apart in this manner.

What are the temps now?

Idle: 37 degrees

Dota 2 (when it hit 105 degrees): 54 degrees (tested after 10 mins of playing)

Holy mother of god that is good.

Might do that to my 7950, I may or may not have some Arctic Silver left over, that or some CoolerMaster paste

Not bad for a dell I guess. Nahalem i7. I'd change that power supply though...

After using the new paste for a while i can say that reapplying the thermal paste has been good. Before i gave benchmarks that was immediately after i applied the thermal paste. Well now results i give will be after 5 days of normal usage, and i am still very impressed. After the thermal paste has had some time to harden, i get these temps:
Idle: 40 Degrees
Dota 2 (High settings @ 1080p): 74 Degrees maximum with the fans going to a maximum of 49% (2003 RPM) with a smooth 60+ FPS gameplay
