Title: What to clean GPU with ......need to add new thermal grease as fan is too fast Post by: bitmonster1070 on April 12, 2012, 04:27:32 PM Hey guys.....can anyone tell me what to use to clean this old grease off my gpu and surronding area. Should I use contact cleaner, laquer thinner or? My fan on this one card (5870) is running at 4100-4600 rpm and all my other cards are running at 2900-3200. I figure the little bit of grease that is on this one wasn't dispersing heat properly. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Thanks Isopropyl, just make sure to use 99% and not the 60% they sell at the drug store. http://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-824-1L-Isopropyl-Alcohol/dp/B005DNQX3C |
