Hi, i used to clean my gpu by only replacing my thermal paste and the temperatures were good enough, but theres a better way to reduce the gpu temp. My gpu is a R7 265, very old card and my temps in full load were 70Cº ~ 80Cº, but now with 99% gpu utilization temperature never go more than 65Cº with low fan speed.
I never heard of this advice before so im sharing to all of you.
Tutorial:
1. Disassembly your GPU
2. Disassembly the heatsink , removing any plastic parts
3. Put the heatsink in a pan with Vinegar and one spoon of salt for 2~3 hours. (You can use Lemon too)
4. After waiting 2~3 hours, clean the heatsink with water to remove the residues of the vinegar and salt
5. Leave the heatsink to dry in the sun.
6. Now back to the gpu itself, clean the old thermal paste and replace it. I used "Mastergel Maker from CoolerMaster"
7. If you can replace the Thermal Pads.
8. Assembly the GPU.
* By cleaning the copper from the heatsink the heat dissipation is better.
* One good advice is to clean the all the case, give a better air flow to the gpu so it intake "cold" air.
