980 ti thermal paste

[eidairaman1]

Did you clean those caps around the die?

 

[JULI4545]

Did you clean those caps around the die?

Yup

 

[eidairaman1]

Yup

Well it's clean then, make sure to put the heatsink through that treatment too.

 

[JULI4545]

But, the question is, do you see something rare in the whole board? Because i was having timing issues with the memory, basically drops, idk if it was a drivers issue because i tried the GPU in 3 PCS and same result, white screen freeze and sound freeze idk, im a bit confused now

And another thing, can i apply icefusion cooler master thermal paste? Or do i need to buy a MX4!!!

 

[jboydgolfer]

You can use any legitimate thermal paste you like.

I use Arctic silver5
Noctua
Phobyia HEgrease

Are you the first owner of this GPU?

 

[R-T-B]

Yeah, you did good.

I'd buy some simple to apply, but well performing thermal paste. Don't break the bank on it. People will tell you Kryonaut, etc, lots of expensive names that will earn you at most, 1C difference. Take my advice, grab a cheap tube of Arctic MX-4 or MX-2 (either should be around and affordable at online stores, and you can get a big tube cheap if wanted) and go with it.

EDIT:

Or do i need to buy a MX4!!!

Oh, nvm then. If you own something, just use it. There is very little difference between big names. Cooler master should be ok.

It may just have been bad thermals from overuse. A thin layer is best.

Yep

 

[jboydgolfer]

another thing that comes to mind. You mention that the screen goes all white under load.....you have tried different types of display cable , right? DVI, or HDMI, or D-Port?

Thanks that is what i wanted to hear

That is what i was thinking, i'm gonna try and immediatly inform

For my 750 ti I just used Sliver 5

GPU's are the same as CPUs. Just a small pitch of rice size will do

I believe I've seen it mentioned earlier in the thread but just in case you haven't done it yet, be certain settings are at default (no overclocks on memory or core). If that's already the case, another thing you can try is down clocking.

Be certain you don't have some overclocking utility set to auto launch with window starts, and set to auto apply those settings on each start up. In situations like that you could be over clocking your video card and not even know it

it may still work OK but it still is electrically conductive, just keep that in mind when applying.

Please do not use acetone. brake cleaner any petroleum based / automotive products on surfaces inside your computer. They dissolve plastics ... keep away from PCBs.

I use Indigo Exteme

http://indigo-xtreme.com/page-bba.shtml

Indigo Xtreme Clean™ works better than other products. It possesses higher solvating power than Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and emulsifying cleaners (such as ArctiClean™), yet leaves no residue. Unlike acetone, xylene, and toluene, Indigo Xtreme Clean is non-flammable and is safe for most surfaces.

As for a replacement, we recommend the following:

CPUs - Shin Etsu G751 .... same thermal properties as AS5 but without either of AS5's issues as noted on their own web site (takes 7 weeks to cure at 30 hours a week usage) and is "capacitive" which means it can cause issues if you get it on contacts. And its under $4
https://archive.benchmarkreviews.co...sk=view&id=150&Itemid=1&limit=1&limitstart=12

GPUs.... by the time you get it on all the surfaces (GPU, all VRMs and memory chips, including PCB back side faces touching back plate, you can sometimes top 20 separate surfaces (980 has 24 on just on cooler side... see images in link below) . The "usual suspects" for CPU TIMs generally start to lose their pliability the longer they are exposed to air. Here we recommend Gelid Extreme wich remains pliable long enough to get the job done. See instructions here:
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/EK-IM/EK-IM-3831109869222.pdf

a) Not the application pattern for GPU is "not a pea". See step 2.3
b) Read Step 3.1 carefully, make sure you replace any thermal pads and apply TIM as instructed.

arctic silver 5

 

[jboydgolfer]

Yup, make sure to only apply the gpu chips thermal paste, to the gpu chip.

 

[eidairaman1]

arctic silver 5

Yup thats right, it is capacitive.

just keep in mind that offering a product that is not only expensive and has to be ordered (and shipped) is not always the best solution. The OP mentioned that he lives in Columbia which may not be as easy as some other country's to pick up specialized cleaning solvents for computer hardware. automotive grade products will work just as well and you're obviously not going to drown your hardware in it so there's not really any risk of anything dissolving on contact but, you'd obviously want to be careful with what your doing just like anything else. all i'm saying is don't knock it until you've tried it, i've personally used non chlorinated brake cleaner, mineral spirits and nail polish remover in a pinch to clean PCB's and silicon dies in a pinch and they do in deed work. come to mention you can actually find contact cleaner in most automotive stores.

Good to see you again, white screen

Must be memory related, that card is shot.

Time to save up.

If the ship must sink, you may as well gain something (however a little) from the experience. Aside from selling the 980 for parts or whatever you can get out of it, let this be a lesson to not replace thermal paste, or modify or alter the card In anyway ,that may cause a manufacturer to reject your warranty claim. The best thing you can do for your own sake, when you get a brand new video card or other component, take good care of it, keep it clean, and don't mess with it. Just use it as it was intended. Once the warranty is up if you want to open it up and change the thermal paste knock yourself out.

I hope this is the last time you have to endure a situation like this

Wow man dont make me cry, thank you for your help!!!!

Hahaha never again, now i hate them, i bought a msi one, is a good choice?

Yeah they tend to be pretty good, just to be on safe side read their warranty policy.
