Posted March 9, 2019 Recently got some older video cards and thought I would show why it is a good idea to clean, check, and replace the old thermal compound! Some of these I have had for quite sometime as well. Please add your photo's as well! I still have 5 more to add, but need to get some more thermal compound. I cleaned and replaced all the thermal compound with Cooler Master brand as that is what I had. Would of liked to have used Arctic Silver 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2019 Author Took and pulled apart my old video card, an MSI Radeon 7970 OC. Looks like I need some new thermal pads for the memory. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase some? I'm guessing newegg.ca or maybe Amazon.ca would be good places to look? What thickness should I get? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 20, 2019 Author MSI Radeon 7970 OC. The die on this card has a mirror finish and no writing.... When I had it cleaned, it was so shiny I could hold it facing the TV behind me and watch it as if I was looking at it. Very shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
