That's some hefty swamp gooch
Oh yeah you truly know that!!!
The greatest technician that ever lived out in the wild😂
Pff that's a light dusting compared the gooch "The greatest technician that's ever lived" dives into.
Wouldn't even have to steal my moms toothbrush for that piddly job, I'd let him borrow it.
@SalemTechsperts He even took your mother’s toothbrush.
Jay you should go to your mothers bathroom to check if her toothbrush is still there.. 😂👌
Love the "be fucking productive" wallpaper lol
He probably missed it
Had the same thought lol
Haha me too!
fuck being productive (the misprinted version)
I saw that immediately and love it! I too have to give myself little hidden reminders inn various places that difficult to avoid, wallpaper, screensavers, fridge, post-it in the car, on my PS5 controllers, in my lab space. My brain will jump through hoops finding anything it can to distract rather than stay on-task and get the important things done.
EVGA: We are not making GPUs anymore
Also EVGA: Here Jay, an EVGA 4090
right? Super envious!
You all remember Kingpin, the gpu overclocker that made special-edition cards for EVGA? Good news is that he's reportedly returning to gpu manufacturing for the 50 series. He's eyeing a potential partnership with PNY for his return.
Edit: when I commented this at the time, I didn't see that GN made a video on this too.
Yah his gamers nexus video
If you listened to what he said in steves video he said a good possibility he didnt say that he has signed with anyone as of yet
@@davidsmyth3818 read between the avoiding breaking NDA lines.
If he signs and the cards don't come out as KingPNY.
I'll fricking mald.
PNY will become the top brand soon.
"So much dust in there." It's doesn't look like the dryer lint screen after a load of towels, so no that's not a lot of dust. I have literally pulled a sheet of dust off a buddy's computer before.🤣
Yep, I have dust filters in my PC case and my radiator, after just one year, was all grey. It's not as much as other people's PCs have collected but it massively affects the temperatures for sure. I wish they had shown how Jay blew compressed air on the heatsink, and how much dust came out of there.
"So disgusting"
-Looks at my fans...
boy have i got a treat for you. lmao.
I have a friend who's PC within months would get like that and it got into everything. The CPU, GPU and PSU intake all had a layer a few mm thick dust on anything air should flow through
I pulled an entire dust bunny from my old 2012 laptop's blower fan

Maybe in a year or so. Vince is just getting started with them.
Pogchamp!
EVGA made the best video cards!!😢
Yes. I only bought EVGA. It was always the best looking (in my opinion)
@@CurieBohr EVGA always went for a more elegant yet badass look that looks to curvature over linear geometry when designing there housing for video cards. EVGA FTW!!!
Too bad man, I loved all my EVGA cards, too. They are slowly dissolving the entire company tho.
EVGA was my go to card from the beginning. I wish they would have stayed in the video card business.
They rarely made the BEST cards. They usually made the bare minimum like Zotac, sometimes even for their FTW3 series. Their customer service though was 2nd to none and this is why I bought them. Usually and lately, ASUS made the best cards, incl the TUF
I have an EVGA FTW 980Ti . It runs GREAT! (Win XP legacy system for old work software.)
I have an EVGA FTW3 1080Ti . It runs GREAT! (Win7Pro legacy system for old games.)
I have an EVGA FTW3 3080Ti . It runs GREAT! (Win10Pro for current games. Last Win system ever)
I MISS EVGA. I wish them nothing but good things and they definitely "got out" when the gettin'-was-good but man....... I do miss them.
Peaceful Skies.
I still use my EVGA 1080 hybrid. I swear, I must have ended up with the superhero version, because I hear people using WAY better GPUs having issues with performance on things I just don't have issues with.
WOW!
Weirdly intimate relationships people have with corporate companies.
Love my 1080ti ftw3 been rocking since 2018 and still going today
@@Mcnooblet you clearly dont buy your own stuff.
There is never a pointless video talking about EVGA graphics cards.
It will serve as reminders what we all have lost
Card: Barely has any dust whatsoever
Jay: This is filthy as hell, all covered in dust and stuff. Need to take it apart.
Does anyone also think Jay will become a PNY fanboy now that KingPin is designing KingPin PNY cards?
We are going to need GamersNexus to test out their RMA process and warranty. I've seen enough reports online that they will never replace EVGA. No second hand warranty coverage, warranty void stickers (and people claiming denied because of it) told warranty will be voided from maintenance (paste and pads changed)
Depends how good the cards are.
Absolutely. I surprised he hasn't already started with PNY videos. With that said though im glad to see KP partner with PNY, if its happening, that will be a great fit. He can push their company further down the Gaming PC enthusiast rabbit hole. They are respected in the professional world, so hopefully they can continue in the enthusiast market.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 Gamers Nexus had a good video, kind of funny watching him fanboy over GamersNexus merch. Good interview, recommend people watch. (After they watch Jayz videos first! 😉
If you're just going to put it on the wall for decoration why would you feel bad if it stopped working 🤣
4:31 isn’t that thermal putty?
Also the paste job shouldn’t matter because it looks like it’s using the phase change material stuff everyone’s moving towards now
8:40 yeah I thought so too when I took apart a legion Slim 7 and repasted, and the temperature was worse. Guess what? It had PTM7950 in there that performs and lasts way longer than paste. But hey, temps at the end of the day was great with KPX though
Yeah, thought so as well
Looks like PCM on the core to me as well and chokes(did he call them caps?) are using thermal putty. Surprised to see him seemingly oblivious to these.
I'd like to see a teardown maintenance tutorial on graphics cards. Specially how you go about figuring out and buying the correct sizes(thickness) of thermal pads. I'd like to convert my Asus 1080ti from water blocked back to air cooled. But I have no clue how to replace the thermal pads, where to put them, what size goes where, etc.
Your best starting point is to find a guide with pics from someone tearing the card down to clean or put a block on it to see where the pads go, then see if you can find info on the specific cards pad thicknesses(ram and VRM often use different pad), or measure/guesstimate from your old pads if you have 'em. Keep in mind one size thicker is usually fine, one thinner might not be. Good luck. I had to do the same but with a GTX-680 a long time ago, had a watercooled pair, then one went flaky and I swapped the whole setup to a 1080, and then needed the good 680 for a secondary rig, I found an old forum thread about a guy wateblock swapping the same card asking the same thing since he ripped a pad.
Did u hear???? Kingpin iz back
MAYBE, I don't think his PNY deal is finalized yet
Kingpin isnt back yet his deal isn’t finalised. Also the EVGA 4090 is more like their FTW3 GPUs than kingpin
@@ThePrimordialArchon he is looking so he is planing to come bacl
@@koky179 planning doesnt mean his deal with PNY is finalised. PNY can pull out and he’d have to spend another year looking.
Either way once hes back his cards should be the true top of the line
@@ThePrimordialArchon planning does not mean it will be pny
Steve from Gamers Nexus interviewed Kingpin about the 12VPHWR Connector: Jay may one of the few Burnproof RTX 4090's. Putting the Power connector on the Side of the Card has some Drawbacks, like bigger and long power Conduits, but is has one Bonus: It keeps the Powerconnector cooler, and EVGA has figured the Problem of the Overheating Powerconnector out: When it gets to warm it starts hotspotting and dies, moving it to the side keeps it cooler. The 12VPHWR has only a 10% reserve at 20°C which means at 45°C it runs out of Reserve and may start melting. Getting the Connector away from the Heatsource, like EVGA did, reduces the risk of burning Adapter. Kingping confirmed to Steve that EVGA new about the Risk and it looked cleaner.
EVGA also used 3 pin connectors on the pcb of the 3090 cards, which they would have used in the 4090's. Using 3 pin connectors instead of trying to shove all that dangerously high amps through a singular tiny fragile connector meant that all 3 pin connectors are sharing the load into one thirds. Ironically, EVGA would have swept the market for this series card because everyone would be clamouring for the only brand that had burnproof 4090 cards. Jay undoubtedly has one of the few burnproof cards in the world.
EVGA 3090ti cards have these connectors on the end too and I've never heard of one melting even when pulling the full 600 watts.
@@luminatrixfanfictionEVGA 3090 Ti’s have a 12VHP plug on the side of the GPU and they work just fine.
I personally own one and know this to be fact so your statement is not factually correct.
Mine came with an adapter which is a 3 PCIE into 1 12VHP angled connector that works just fine. Checked the temperature of the plug and the temperature is no different then a PCIE power plug so zero issues and not a thought ever enters my mind about it burning up.
The ones that burn up are from user error. Not plugged in all the way, tension on the plug, XOC VBIOS being used that draw more current then the plug is rated at, using PSU’s that don’t provide enough current, etc.
This notion that they will all burn up needs to end as it’s based on bad information then the internet ran with it blowing it out of proportion without including relevant details as to why some burned up.
Regular user that has the plug seated properly with no 800 watt XOC VBIOS installed or any of the other factors I mentioned will never have a problem.
@@South_0f_Heaven_ Perhaps I meant the 3080's. You're not factually correct however, the ones burning up is not user error. That's been debunked multiple times. There's more than 50 amps being shoved through fragile connector cable and pin connectors that was rated for only a certain voltage and current. The theoretical limit is not the same as a real world application limit. They built it with 12VHP in mind based off the theoretical limit, not real world limit, not accounting for impurities in the copper wiring (which causes electrical resistance). That resistance directly translates to heat energy waste, hence the burning connectors. Ergo, a design fault. The 4090's which got fixed at Northridge, are going to continue needing to get it repaired and connectors replaced every six months. Also, your 3090 won't draw as much power compared to a 4090, so you won't have that issue.
@@ffwastthe connectors on the 30 series were different from the standardized 13vhp.
My son has my EVGA 3090 when I moved to a 4090. EVGA cards were so great!
+100 Dad points for giving him that card
@@snxc1627 yeah but he might be a lil spoiled The opposite happened with me I get rtx 4060 and I gave my dad my rx 580 and power supply but its a power supply from 2009
I wish to have a EVGA 40xx card aswell.
My favorite custom design company. I still cant get over the fact that they are gone.
Any chances that they will work with AMD or Intel?
Imagine the new battlemage flagships with EVGA custom designs. I defenitely need to buy that if something like this comes out.
Highly unlikely. Kingpin was also pretty clear when he said "EVGA is gone".
Very sad...
None of the people doing that work there anymore.
Kingpin implied he is going to PNY for 5000 series.
@@WayStedYou that sound really good. Lets hope they listen to him and we get a "new" EVGA quality from PNY.
@@chasethefeel Have you ever held a consumer PNY product in the past few years? Contrary to what your perception of their consumer products are, they're very well made, just without the frills and BS you get from the other manufacturers.
They're also (and have been since forever), a big player in the enterprise space as well. If anything I'm surprised people aren't digesting this and realizing they're the only OEM partner with the least BS. It in turns hurts their marketing appeal, but that's what make this speculated move for KingPNY so great.
Its Not a Pointless Video Jay. Its a Video to Show Us What EVGA Could of Done. I Owned a Few EVGA Cards over the Years.
The time it takes to disassamble tells alot about the build quality in my experience. That card seems god tier and there would have been some very happy customers, dear EVGA ...
I respect wanting the card to get actually used, and I also totally understand wanting to stop using it now. On a sort of related note... I saw in the last Steve Nexus video where he was at Kingpin's lab, and Kingpin was working with a PNY 4090 (iirc). Maybe PNY will fill the high end quality GPU void that EVGA left? It would be awesome if some company went back to making //quality// GPUs that could handle XOC versus just making BLING cards.
Other companies do make extreme overclocking cards.
52c is nice and all, but 75% fan speed? If it's the same fan speed as 3090, then your fans are spinning at 2,250RPM, that's LOUD. I get the EVGA circlejerk but noise-normalized that's not better than Gigabyte/ASUS models
It looks absolutely identicla to the strix cooler. Like identical. Also please never reccomend for everyone to do this to clean there gpu. Most people shoupd never open them up because alot dont know what they are doing and couod do serious damage. But other then that awesome video.
Also they all look like this so they are all good none are dumb lol. It looks the same as every other 4090. Slightly different due to samples but its a 4090 lol we actually have even bigger heatsinks in some but idk how this one is less dumb then the others. The others perform if not a little better so yeah.
It looks like Jay got one of these Evga rtx4090 cards, Remember! Evga is out of graphic cards business but they made a very limited number of the 4090 cards and some of these were actioned for more than 10K USD. He decided to open it up because the card was a little bit dusty, the fans blades and the heatsinks were a little bit dusty.
Nobody would open up a card like that just for that reason....
I've been using a vacuum cleaner to clean out my PC's for years, and I've haven't killed anything yet. It's fine to vacuum fans, and heatsinks just don't let the vacuum spin up your fans as that will create a voltage that the card would have to sink. I use a large makeup brush to get into places, and displace the dust with the vacuum tube close by. Just don't touch bare PCB's with the vacuum or the brush, and be aware that the vacuum tube itself can potentially build up a static charge from all of the dust passing over it.
You sound like you have watched a lot of Jay’s two cents videos
I used a leaf blower for years. Recently, I did that outside. Killed my motherboard. Not sure how, but I’ll never do it again.
The fan’s producing voltage only happens if they happen to spin in one direction and they have to be a certain type of fan design anyway. Besides it’s a non-issue as there are diodes that prevent voltage backfeeding into to GPU so this concern is moot.
In other words it’s a myth that just won’t go away.
@@South_0f_Heaven_true. Diodes, voltage regulators, the “ground wire”, capacitors all are safeguards.
@@South_0f_Heaven_ Magnets moved over coils produce a voltage regardless of direction. Yes, there should be diodes but they are only good upto a certain voltage. If for some reason you exceed that voltage, bad things will happen. I killed a 3d printer motherboard once by just moving the bed too quickly. Same thing.
It's saddening on many levels, one of which being it's simply the best looking one they ever made. Just simple, straight forward, no "gamer" bs, just business.
Forgot how sick that rig came out. Not only is the whole build drippin, but that card is constructed from pure unobtanium.
fr
If Steve is doing God's work, who is doing Tech Jesus' work???!!! Great vid guys GG.
That's quite clean for 1-1.5yrs of use.
You can retire it in my computer :)
The way Jay caressed the EVGA build with his thumb...
I like the wallpaper on the PC in the background...
Consider something like a JET Air Filtration System. Comes with a remote you could turn it off the system during filming. ....Just a thought.
I'm here to emphasize... be F'n productive!
Jay forgot to include a link for his cleaning brush at 7:01.
Wipe the fan blades with a piece of paper towel with ipa on It , works great. I also use a toothbrush to do the Initial cleaning, gets into small places well.
I live beside a port and obviously also a busy street. After a month of an open air system(just the panels removed) you can mesure the dust with a ruler.
"Do as I say, not as I do. I'm a dad." - Life's wisdom right there
"will include the amazon link in the description" - never happens :(. The affiliate link yes but never the actual product link.
not sure what the concern was, really.. that's nothing in terms of dust accumulation.
but I get that you wanna preserve it. there's a good Jay.
I want a f*cking EVGA 5090...
!!! That's not paste, that's putty. Don't use KPX on the VRM's, use a high end Thermal Putty instead, like EVGA Thermal Putty (Can reuse what you just took off), or get Upsiren UTP-8, Fehonda LTP81, Laird T-Putty 607.
To reuse that same EVGA putty, just put some gloves on and knead it like dough until it softens up a tiny bit. KPX is good, but it's no Thermal Putty.
You can actually change out ALL the thermal pads for a top end Thermal Putty.
Evga should come back as everyone loved them. They should know we’d be willing to pay double like 4-6k enough for them to profit.
Fun fact for Phil , did you know that Boobytrap is Partyboob spelled backwards ?
My computer is in my dusty office, about every 6 months I 'clean' it by blowing a 100 PSI from a garage compressor
Open the casse, put my fingers into the fans to prevent them from freely spinning and blowing from up close
takes 10 minutes for the whole computer and I 'm not about to invest a minuute more, it never affects performance either way
I wish EVGA would've sent me one. I had one EVGA card (3060) and it was hands down my favourite card I ever had for various reasons. Then a month later they made their announcement.
The most beautiful RTX 4090 on the "market"...To sad EVGA is gone...i have a GTX 750 TI from them, worked on my pc on the job for 5 years without problem...
QUAL SAMPLE is Qualification Sample, not a Quality Sample
The ones they use to design cards are ENG SAMPLE (or Engineering Sample) dies.
QSs are actually semi-production ready dies that are nearly ready to hit the market, just to test if they don't cause anything wonky on edge cases (or even to test the hardware they're going to be connected to, e.g. QS CPUs to develop new motherboards, even when the retail version of that CPU is already out)
Hey, I've had (supposedly) PTM that went just like that after a few heat cycles, almost flaky, solid, pushable but distributed quite evenly and thin. Was malleable, goopy, sticky on install just days prior.
Can it be fake? Can it be that this 4090 was assembled with it?
Jay, If your A/C filter is not cutting the dust down enough then invest in some room air filters. I have two in my home and it is amazing how much dust they collect.
Jay: Oh, let's retire this newly prototype manufactured 4090 from EVGA, there are only 3 in the world.
Me: Hang on in there my beloved HD6670, you can do it 14 years more.
On the topic of brushes for cleaning tech, I actually use a blush makeup brush. The bristles are nice and soft and won't damage any caps or anything but tough and won't break off.
Ummm EVGA haven't made a 4090 let alone ANY 40 series cards as well. So there's that! Have I slipped into an alternate universe or something!? P.s what's with all the BOT comments Jay?
I miss EVGA, I have an EVGA 3080 in my vpin and just picked up an EVGA RTX 2080 ti for $200 today that is going to go into my arcade cabinet in place of a 3060 ti. Not big diff in performance but much more historic card. I also just picked up a used PC lot with 2 EVGA z370s(honestly not very good MBs), and EVGA 2070 and 2 EVGA PSUs. I think the guy I bought the lot from had thing for EVGA(more than me). They really shined in the GPU space.
Did this in my 1650 super after 3 years of usage. It was disgusting in there. Thankful i did
I spoke to some EVGA guys, and everyone I spoke to had a pretty big resentment towards NVIDIA when I spoke to them about unrelated questions (such as their power supplies)
Notice how EVGA still doesn't make 4000 series 12hpwr cabled PSUs?
That's another fu to Nvidia.
You can still buy a Cable Mod cable for their GPUs, but EVGA wants no part of it currently. Nvidia really did them dirty behind the scenes from the looks of it.
Found out Acer has a Predator Sense gaming utility. AMD was configured but not available in 21. I was an AMD rebel. My first an AMD 1 GHZ with 750k RAM and 2 40 GB Hardrives and a GeForce GTX 240 for well the card was $600. Gateway system.
I have an acer Nitro 50 620. For the 8mportant pats user benchmarks rank for the nvidia 1650 is I th8nk 142 out of 720 cards user comments rescent are good. The i5 11400F 6 core ranks high 8n overall percentile eff8ciency. Got Dec 21. Knew I wasn't going to use for a while. Had no choice but to spend the money then. Lost Lost $138 in value since then. The m9nitor was $499. Now used $299. So lostt...no longer available new. Used $299. 34 inches wide. I would not have had another chance to get a gaming pc. Got to use with EVE Online. Not an fps game.
You should put your Evga graphics card (😍) in small glass cases so they never get dust on them
Have the Nvidia 4090 FE in an open case (7000D Airflow open), I keep thinking to buy the PSU addon for 16 to have a prettier 12VHWPR but since it's not a problem I leave the plug alone atm.
Ive just done this with my brothers GTX 1070ti. After so many years it was FILTHY. 9:30 However, my card was NEWlinke after i cleaned it with alcoho, wipes etc, meanwhile Jayz left a lot of that paste mush in there so big L on you for not cleaning it fully.
"Could have been" by Tiffany would have been a great song to play during this video, thanks to Piracy, and copywrite then we will never know the song that would have suited best for videos. I still like my EVGA 3090, might be an old card now, but at least it is one that I know I can run for 8 years without it dying through a manufacturing fault, like had my GTX960 Ti for 8 years without any problems apart from age related. but to be honest I think EVGA got out while the going was good, imagine the number of repairs claims they would have had with the whole 16 pin power plugs. the down side is the best manufacturer not making newer cards. 😭
I would be way too worried about breaking my GPU trying to take it apart. By the time the card needs cleaning I might need to buy a new one to maintain 4k, ultra, over 60fps on future games.
For just gaming I still feel the 4090 series is way over kill and demands way too much power for just game play; I will stick with the 4080 series. Maybe I will by the future 6080 series, but will probably wait until the 7080 comes out as I’d like to get at least 6 years use out of my 4080 😂
hey jay, i need some help!!!! im running a r7 3700x and need to know if i should upgrade. idk if i want to rebuild or just upgrade to the latest AM4 cpu to keep it going as long as possible. any advice would be amazing! btw love the videos keep them coming please and bring back RTFM show lol
Definitely miss EVGA being around for GPU's. Very first GPU was the RTX 3060 XC 12GB and honestly don't know what to even go to after that :(
I'm holding on to my EVGA RTX 3080ti FTW3 hoping it lives a long time. Knowing that I can't get the 4K or soon to be 5K series made by EVGA just makes me sad.
"QUAL" stand for "Qualifying" not "Quality".
EDITOR: You forgot to blur out the F word on the display behind Jay.
RIP EVGA, never forgotten. Long Live KingPiN and PNY
RTX 50 series in early early 2025, bros!!
Hi Jay,
Nice video as usual, but want to mention that thermal paste on this gpu is phase change material (same as on ftw3 3090), and "paste" on the inductors is laird tputty (liquid thermal pad, same as on ftw3 3090), and its better to be replaced with thermal putty or soft thermal pad.
Just for your information))
Lol be fkn productive! Lmao I love it
Be careful with NZXT warranties for Canada. I recently submitted an RMA, and it cost me duty + taxes. They'll only reimburse me by PayPal after threatening to take it to the customer's protection act.
This just makes me more sad they are gone. My current card is EVGA RTX 3080. I want to get a new gen card eventually and I guess it might be PNY since Kingpin might be using em soon.
4:06 when I did this to my card, it took a shit ton of effort to get it off, it was just stupidly well stuck to it.
There were points when I was pulling it, that I thought the board was flexing too much and stopped for a bit to think up a new plan.
Eventually got it off after super carefully using a very thin iFixit spatula thing to slowly unstick the thermal pads.
Edit: also I wonder if Jay knows Kingpin stuff is coming back but through PNY?
As soon as I heard Jay say "well that's another pointless video", my immediate response was "well, I'll show you!" and clicked that like button. ;)
There.... that'll learn ya!
Are you taking medication for your ADHD? You seem faster or healthier and calmer the last few videos. I can relate. BTW I know this is most likely considered to be too personal for Jay to actually interact with this comment. I write it out of simple curiosity with my own ADHD journey noticing similarities in mind. Either way.. and anyways love the videos always.
Rip EVGA Gpu's im glad i got a new 3080ti FTW3 before you left us. I can only hope you start making Intel or AMD GPUs one day
Honestly this is a crazy idea I had, but I really want Buildzoid from AHOC to see this card and do a PCB breakdown. Nice collab idea. I think Jay would be extremely impressed and possibly barely able to understand.
anyone else notice every time he says he is gonna put a link to something down below he don't he is always full of crap
Jay, with all due respect, you have to let go of Heaven. It was released back in 2009, so it barely stresses modern GPUs, so it is basically useless for stability testing and for thermal testing too by now. No wonder you see such low temperatures. Again, I meant no offense and I love your videos and I loved this one too, but it really bugs me that you still use Heaven for testing modern GPUs. 😊
the fans getting louder is just an EVGA thing. for some reason they use the worst possible fans in all their products. my evga PSU fan gets noisy under load. i did a 3D printed deshroud mod for my evga 3080 because the stock fans were so damn noisy.
Maybe FILTERED AC and airlock-like building access? If you know what the problem is, you can cure/ameliorate it.
5:32 : "Steve is doing God's work".
No Jay, he is the Jesus himself, JESUS DOESN'T DO GOD'S WORK, HE I-S GOD!
Jay, What are your thoughts on KingPin coming back into the GPU market with PNY no less. Will we see EVGA like units from PNY?
If you think thats bad, i haven’t cleaned my Sapphire Nitro R9 390 since I got it in 2015 lmao probably going to do a teardown and repaste soon, wont really do much at this point though
Please, you should reconsider using the card... I know you are afraid it will stop working, but having such a nice and rare card, and not using it... I mean, it kinda goes against everything what Vince intented for evga/kingpin to be.. An extreme, balls to the walls extreme performance cards, which can witstand huge amount of stress.. Plus you are going to put it on a shelf anyway, so working or not in the end, it will end in same way, on a shelf
So basically Jay's building builds up more gunk than someone smoking 3 packs of Gauloises in a phone booth for a year. Jay : let's clean this PC, this can't be good for it!
Bad Jay! dirtying up a evga.
@JayzTwoCents have you heard of an AIO called thermalright frozen warframe 420????
im surprised your not using Ceramic coating to coat the fan blades which prevents the dirt and dust from sticking....you know that automotive ceramic spray on coating....its gives your OCD a break
I know EVGA swore by that thermal putty but I hate that stuff with a passion. I have not repasted my 3080 since I bought it because of that stuff. I'm pretty convinced that the thermal putty is why so many water block swapped EVGA cards were dying. It takes far too much effort to get that putty to release and puts the PCB under too much stress. It is not worth it.
hay get air purifier a strong one, haven't had to clean my desktop in over a year.
fans slightly discolored: I better clean that. (me looking at my card---meh its just a small dust mat. It still cools. I'm still good for another 6 months.) (temps 80 to 90) lol
In 10 years time we will still be saying we miss EVGA :( Im happy kingpin has a place to go practice his craft but PNY arent EVGA.
Good timing. I did this to my EVGA 3060 yesterday preparing for summer.
Paste looks okay, because you shouldn't use regular thermal paste on modern gpus. It's too liquid and cooler pumps it out in month or two. You should use at least commercial grade high-viscosity paste, but best option is phase change thermal paste. At room temps it is so hard that it comes in sheets like thermal pad. And it looks like these "old" and crumbled paste, but that's how it should look.
I had to stop using my gpu because of an nvidia usb 3.1 extensible host controller code 24 error. Not fun. 😔
The funny thing is it doesn't even have a usb port on the back of the card so i dont know whats up with that.
Well at least some spirit of EVGA GPUs is going to live on, with Kingpin returning with the RTX 50 series.
Albeit with PNY
That is PTM7950. Really sad to see the best non conductive thermal paste being replaced with a less performance and less service life capabilities TIM
jay would get mad if he saw my computer. It's caked on with red dirt. I'm sure all the fans need cleaning. The case is filthy. I probably need to replace the liquid too.
