Today I finally got around to taking my 2080Ti Zotac out and cleaning the motherboard components behind it, and taking the cooler off of it and changing Zotacs thermal paste for some Thermal Grizzly KRYONAUT EXTREME: Thermal Grizzly High Performance Cooling Solutions - Kryonaut Extreme

The original paste was cured and dry, and spread thin.
During idle temp was about 34°C and fans on my fan curve ran about 1530rpm.
Now after the fresh application temp is 30°C(-4°) and fans only running 1370 rpm(150-160 rpm slower)

My fan curve in Afterburner for my asynchronous fans are both a tad aggressive, therefore I'm so much more happier

I ran Timespy and Superposition today to check my thermals after switching to Kryonaut Extreme, and nothing went above 64°C.
Plus oddly I went up to 345 watts on Superposition, where my cards BIOS is set to 336w max


Setting

Good job on the re paste Cliff

Thanks Doug.
It was much easier than I had always pictured.
The four heat sink spring retaining screws, one screw on the outputs bracket, and 3 small wire connectors, of which I only disconnected 2, as I didn't need to do the third because I just layed the heatsink next to the card.

Yeah, need LN2 for anymore Tommy. You do have a beast though, damn strong card for sure
