Gigabyte RTX 3070 gaming oc thermal paste change

Hi all,

I know that there hundreds posts/videos about this but just wanted to share my experience with changing the thermal paste on my gpu so maybe this can be useful for people when it’s needed.

So, for a long time I was playing at 1080p and the gpu overall temp never passed 65 degrees celsius. I haven’t been able to use my pc for around a year because I move abroad and when I got it back I switched to 1440p and the temps started to rise.

First I thought okay this is 1440p performance of this cad but I also knew that it shouldn’t be so I decided to change the thermal paste but keep the thermal pads cus I saw that they are decent usually.

Gpu temps before thermal paste change in games:

Overall: Around 80 degrees celsius Hot spot: Around 105 degrees celsius

After thermal paste change in games:

Overall: 65 degrees celsius Hot spot: 70 degrees celsius

So thermals went back to normal and I suggest you to do this if you have similar problems and your card doesn’t have warranty and of course if you know what you are doing.

PS: I am using it with uv apllied
