Hi guys. I recently carried my GPU by a tech for a cleaning and change of the termal paste. I got it back about 3days now and started to play some games, I notice the GPU fans would start ramping up and being loud. This never had happened previously, I checked the Temps when playing Monster hunter and it's hitting 80°c ans that's like 4mins into the game. Again I play on medium settings and never had this issue in the pass. Could the tech have done something worng? I have little to no knowledge when it come to PC so am very confused as what could be causing this now.

thermal paste? Possible that the new one is done even worse, if this didnt happen before

could the tech have improperly applied the thermal paste ...yes, could the thermal paste also not conduct heat as well as what was on it before? yes....could it take time to cure...yes (unlikely to affect it much)...

 

perhaps the cooler is not mounted tightly enough. you can easily remove the gpu and attempt to tighten the screws around the gpu core. doing a quick search you should be easily able to learn this. Do a bit of research on it, and you should be able to learn how to tighten these up a bit. 

 

There is always a risk when removing old thermal paste or removing the cooler that you could see negative effects...perhaps have the tech re-do the work because of unsatisfactory results.

Yea I will have him a call. The weird thing is last night I factory rest the GPU and I played Monster Hunter for about 3hours and it didn't ramp up hence the fans wasn't loud. I started playing it this morning and 4mins in the Temps at 80°c and fans at 2300RPM or so. So yea I'll give him a call :(
