GPU Cleaning Before & After Thermals: Re-Pasting & Dust Removal

We're cleaning and re-pasting several GPUs, including one that's 11 years old. With GPU shortages, we wanted to help people keep current cards running longer. Includes temperature benchmarks.

Video cards featured in this piece include the GTX 760, GTX 970, GTX 1080 Ti (fairly new), and HD 5750 (which is ancient). They are in varying states of disrepair. This idea was inspired by one of our viewers, who emailed a few months ago to suggest that we do a preventative maintenance video to illustrate the practical means of maintaining a video card in a market which is devoid of new products. This content includes before & after benchmarks for new thermal paste application and dust cleaning, and those are done across multiple video cards in varying states of disrepair to help demonstrate the reality of cleaning. It's not always going to make things better thermally, but doing preventative maintenance helps, as the name suggests, prevent future damage in the event a problem is unknown. Hopefully this provides some inspiration to do some cleaning of your own!
