hello expert brothers , i have bought my gpu about 1 year ago .IT is r9 270.so what happened that i have accidently dried up my thermal paste after blowing my gpu with a blower.. so my temp is rising than before.while gaming on full load i got mid 70 temp ..some time 80 in some games like farcry 4 ,just cause 3 but not all time .that is why i cant play any games with a clear mind ..i am always tensed about my temp..and i also cant change my thermal paste due to warrenty void issue. so my question is my gpu safe??
thanx in advance :)

Ok yeah that probably wasn't the best idea and you may well have jammed some dirt inside the cooler, or inside the fan motor even though you were holding it.

Now 70-80 under full load is not a bad temperature, so you got lucky, you aren't going to burn up your GPU. Why did you blow it out in the first place? Were your temps worse?

You blew it with a blower? Why? What is a blower?

80 is a bit high, but honestly in an intense game your GPU is going to get worked. if 80 is your cap then i think you're fine.

Blowing it with a blower probably voided the warranty.

There isn't like water, or anything to really dry up. It is a natural process called curing, and is intentional. I mean really think about it, if your GPU is at 80, how hot would your blower have been to cause any damage? WELL over 80, at which point your plastic shroud and fan would have melted.
