Last week I applied liquid metal for the first time ever and it’s been running great! The GPU runs a lot quieter now and cooler!

Honestly, I don’t know why I did it. Could’ve very easily lost a grand.

      Before: High RPM, average 89C (192,2F), low to no boost clock

      After: Low fan RPM and therefore low noise, average 83C (181,4F), Boost clock with an average of about 2Ghz

        A definite much needed improveme because I know the memory on 3090 has some issues with temperatures that was improved on for the 3090 Ti.

        I would guess that the 5090 is going run cool given how small it will be, but with GDDR7, I’m not sure if it will bring temperatures back up.
