Jcr1991

wanted to do it last year but was too scared to take it apart after all my local pc shops said they didn't want to do it , thought there must be a reason to do with the 980 but they probably just dont think its worth the time or something , will have a good study on some 980ti/ blower style cards to make sure i know what to do as i only have a gt710 as a backup card if things go tits up

im seeing idle temps rise into the low 40's and gaming temps into the late 80's , i bought the card about 3 years ago second hand and im almost certain its never been opened and cleaned properly or had a paste change from new , she's almost 7 years old now and im starting to think its time to give it a good refresh

Im looking for a guide on how to take apart my founders edition gtx980 to replace the thermal paste but i cant find anything online , there are allot of guides on the 980ti but it is slightly different with having no backplate like the 980 , this being my first attempt at changing the thermal paste and i need to get it right as all my local pc repair shops wont take on the job any helpful links or advice hugely appreciated

Hello , ive been having some problems with forza horizon 4 , the game seems to stutter & is using 100% cpu when it hasn't in the past , ive tried lowering settings but this hasn't helped , cpu temps are around 50c while gaming , used to be able to play at high settings no problem , does anyone know what could be causing this and how to go about fixing it ? ... any advice appreciated system specs : msi h61 mobo i5 2500k cooler master ml240r 12gb ddr3 @1600mhz Gtx 980 4gb 1tb hdd 120gb ssd gamemax kamikaze pro argb case Corsair vs650
