    When i decided to clean all the old paste off of my laptop processor, i used paper towels and 70% iso alcohol. I was able to get all of it off and dried it very well, put all new paste on and it worked awesome. Later i decided to take the old double sided tape off the graphics card processor and put paste and wow, it runs does a million times better now.

    in case anyone is seeing this video that "oil" is actually vaseline, wich is non conductive and it was used in some cases to provide extra layer of protection against moisture and such, nowadays its only used by extreme overclockers and very highend and enterprise grade cards

    • @rustyboltz2820
      @rustyboltz2820 2 роки тому +4

      It's most likely coming from the thermal pads, as they heat up the oils leak out and this happens on a lot of video cards. I've opened up a few video cards and I've never seen any vaseline anywhere on the cards, this video card has most likely never been opened since factory and I don't think they would ever add it since the heat generated from the entire card itself would evaporate any amount of moisture.

    Today I found an old gpu in my attic, my brother used it for a long time until he changed to a new one, I installed it in my pc and it was hot, I knew it was thermal paste's fault because it wasn't changed after it was bought, after screwing the card, it was a lot of dust. I cleaned it, I cleaned the old thermal paste, and changed the thermal paste with arctic mx-4, plus I cleaned the cooler with the heat sink, It ran much better and temperature of gpu was much low. Now the gpu is running like new.

    This weekend i made my new pc but i've used my old gpu (GTX 1080) but i noticed that the fans made alot of noise. Thought it were the case fans or CPU fans but after flattening the fan curves, i kept hearing those loud fans...
    Next i checked the temps of my PC and noticed the gpu was Running 90+ degrees Celcius!! Took the gpu apart and re-applied the thermal paste (used thermal grizzly's). The old thermal paste was hard and dry, clearly old.
    After changing the thermal paste my gpu does not get loud anymore and the temps never got above 70 degrees Celcius again.
    I'd advice anyone to do this once you notice simular things with your PC.

      Nice! I was thinking about making a 10 year JT and using a pack of maybe 20 D cell batteries, soldered of course, then potting the entire thing in crystal clear resin, if a single AA lasts 10 years, then 20 D cells should last an eternity, so it'd be something that could be kept for a long time in the future as long as high quality components were used.

    • @Eman2000
      @Eman2000  6 років тому

      To be honest with you I don't think that having 20 D cells would do a lot of good. I think that I mentioned this before but that circuit is so low current that the self discharge of the battery will probably play a bigger role in how long it will last that anything. Most batteries are only rated to last for 10 years of storage. I stand to be corrected on this though.

LORD, I confess that I'm a sinner and I've broken your Holy Law. I realize that the penalty for sin is death. I believe that JESUS CHRIST suffered and died on the Cross to take the punishment for ALL of my sins. I believe JESUS rose from the dead and I accept Him as my personal Savior. From this moment forward I give you my heart and trust you to be the LORD of my life. Please forgive ALL of my sins and send your Spirit to help me do your will. I Love You, Lord Jesus. I Praise You, Jesus. I Thank You, Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life.
    I thank you for your great love and accept your gift of eternal life, and I pray these things in JESUS name, Amen . Say this prayer faithfully, no matter what you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see. A single saint fights back, and a thousand demons cry in agony. And you are that saint.
    Jesus Will Never Leave Nor Forsake You
    ''Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” Ps 37:3-5
    Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him. The Lord Jesus Christ does care and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the depressed and the disillusioned. Jesus Christ is reaching out to you.
    “But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:8
    As we turn away from our sin and turn to Christ we find forgiveness and freedom.
    Jesus Christ is a Friend to the friendless.
    He is a Helper to the helpless.
    He gives freedom to the addicts.
    He loves the unloved.
    He accepts the outcasts.
    He changes the unchangeable.
    He forgives the unforgivable.
    He accomplishes the impossible.
    He saves sinners.
    He seeks the lost.
    He gives direction to the aimless.
    He gives hope to the disillusioned.
    He gives Truth to the confused.
