GPU thermal paste

[L0str31]

HI guys i just wanna know something    i did clean my gpu like 2 months ago i move the cooler from GPU and i didnt change thermal paste i don have so i the point is i just wanna know my GPU need to changed the thermal paste is important get damage or burn or get so much heap and die from heat

You should never take apart a GPU/CPU with thermal paste and then just stick it back on without reapplying, you will create air bubbles and decrease performance. It might not be major decrease, but there will likely be one.

 

Using MSI afterburner , what are your temperatures? Hopefully you only took apart your GPU when you saw abnormally high temps; if your temperatures are fine now, then there is no need to go through the trouble of reapplying the thermal paste. And it wouldn't die from the heat from something like this, your PC would just suddenly turn itself off.

and one more thing there no different thermal paste like if GPU have different thermal paste and CPU different thermal paste

Just can't be an electroconductive paste. And just know that a GPU requires you to put more paste than what you would for a CPU. Usually apply it in an "X" pattern over the GPU die

Is that a question?

 

If it is, then yes, there is no difference in thermal paste. whether its a GPU or CPU it does the exact same thing with the exact same parts; it fills the gaps between two plates of metal to transfer heat more efficently. There is conductive and non-conductive thermal paste, most is non-conductive, make sure you use that; if you don't and you put too much on you can kill the card (conductive thermal paste is usually slightly better performance though).
