I have a GTX 770 4GB SC. Summer is here and I'm going to be out of school in a couple days and then plunge into the abyss of gaming. My temps are rather high, though. They hover around 70~ degrees when doing casual gaming. I was wondering if it was worth it to take off the cooler and slap some AS5 on the die and then screw it back on?

70 is nothing to be worry

I know but it goes to 70 in cool ambient temps and goes to it rather fast. Im just worried about what the summer will bring

Do it, but still be careful (I had to say that).

You can also remove stock fans and fix some noctuas with zip ties onto the rad :D

xP i wanna keep it in its original form if i ever wanted to sell it later
