[QUOTE="mithun, post: 732901, member: 16080"] Yes, it definitely not wise to buy a cooler for ur card now. Well, cleaning up the card n applying new thermal paste wud definitely bring the temps back to wat u had when ur card was new, infact with a better paste than the stock goop u may get a couple of degrees lesser. Just one thng u need to be careful is the thermal pads spread all across the vrm and memory chips....these pads r most likely single use items, though if u remove the HSF very gently u'll most likely be able to retain them in proper place without any of them tearing apart/falling off.....keep in mind that these pads cant be replaced with thermal paste. ref pic: [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/1zdmz4x.jpg[/IMG] as u can see in the pic,while i removed my hsf, the thermal pad to the left of the pic tore apart and half of it stuck to the memory chip:P [/QUOTE]
