what a great idea to remove the mammoth wool collected under the fansI would first ask have you cleaned the dust out of it? That is first think i would do before pulling the heatsink off to repaste it.

To be fair, if he has a relatively modern case with good dust filtration (and more intakes than exhausts) and his house/flat/whatever is kept clean there is unlikely to be dust and dirt buildup that bad. I certainly am not religious about cleaning my hardware and I don’t remember when was the last time I saw more than a very thin layer of dust on the GPU cooling system.what a great idea to remove the mammoth wool collected under the fans

Mate, your card is obviously unwell and is dangerously close to overheating. I think you should worry more about solving the problem than “how much FPS will I lose”. The lower max wattage should just be a temporary measure until you sort out the card either yourself or via a repair specialist. You should not even entertain the notion of trying to run it as is on a permanent basis.how much % in fps will i loose on average if i lower the max watt usage until it doesnt go to very loud fan? rn its 216w max i think in fullscreen games, right?

after 3ish years even good paste will start to dry out.2070 super is like 4 or 5 years old now, not out of the ordinary if the thermal paste has dried…. If the company uses el cheapo stuff

Eh. Depends. My 1070 is, what, like 7 years old from the date I first installed it, has been through two rigs now, never repasted and the temps are pretty much the same as the day it was bought. Should be noted that it’s a fairly low TDP card, the higher you go on power, the more heat you get and the faster the paste goes bad.after 3ish years even good paste will start to dry out.

Sometimes the $50 is worth it if OP isn't confident in doing this themself. 2070s isn't a bad card even with it's age.![]()
Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet Review - Tested on RX 7900 XTX with 475 W
Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet is an interesting alternative to thermal paste. The pre-cut sheet doesn’t dry out over time and you don’t have to try spreading it in a thin layer. In our review we test thermal performance on the AsRock RX 7900 XTX, at up to 475 W.www.techpowerup.com
Harder to mess up installation and will last indefinitely, unlike paste.
OP, repasting a card isn't difficult, all you need to do is carefully unscrew the backplate and PCB screws, disconnect the fan and RGB power, then clean the old paste off, apply the new, and then reassemble.
Watch a YouTube guide if you still aren't confident.
Rather than go to a repair shop and pay ~$50 for a basic service of a six year old card, you'd probably be better off selling and upgrading the GPU to a newer generation.

Selling the RTX 2070 and putting that $50 towards a card like an RTX 4070 Super or even a 7800 XT would be wiser. Especially considering he uses a 34" ultrawide, a 2070S is pretty weak for all those pixels.Sometimes the $50 is worth it if OP isn't confident in doing this themself. 2070s isn't a bad card even with it's age.

So by cleaning the card does help with temperature? By how much?how much % in fps will i loose on average if i lower the max watt usage until it doesnt go to very loud fan? rn its 216w max i think in fullscreen games, right?
iirc dusting the 3 fans with a compressed air duster only helps for 4 months
