Over the years the Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super will also develop a hot spot that it can no longer handle to cool down at full usage. The only solution is to replace the dried-out thermal paste on the main chip. Make sure to thoroughly cleanse the cemented paste off the chip and cooling block using acetone. It's a good idea to replace the three 0.5mm thermal pads around the chip as well-as well as any thermal pads for that matter that got damaged during disassembly. If done correctly, your RTX 2080 Super will be so well-cooled again that it hardly needs to kick its fans into action anymore.
Im observing the same thing. From the Beginning when I bought the 2080, I noticed the temps go kind of high and in some games even hitting the 85°C cap which lets the GPU turn the fans to 100%. A lot of the thermal paste on it was already dried out and this was a brand new GPU that I bought. I replaced it and the GPU barely reached 70°C even at max load. Now, 3 years later the temps are running really high again, getting up to 80°C. Now just rewatching that to check out which screws I have to undo to replace the thermal paste xD
I had the same problem and I did an undervolt, believe me, I lowered the temperatures 15 c with the joke, now I only have a problem I replaced the thermal pads but I thought they were 1mm instead of 0,5 and I'm waiting 0,5 pads because my temps are going crazy high
Gonna order some good thermal paste and these size pads and tackle mine tomorrow, hopefully it resolved the issue, I'll comment tomorrow if it fixed it.
@@chillaah2000 I'm about to do this to my Gigabyte 2080ti OC in coming days. I looked up that Thermalright TFX is the best to use as people have said they don't notice any increase in temperature however it is a thicker compound which users recommend placing inside a zip-lock bag and bathing in boiling hotwater before use. I don't want to open this thing up again. lol.
I own a Gigabyte aorus 2080 Super. Got with Red Dead Redemption 2 temps around 90 degrees C with fans at 100%. Repasted with arctic silver. Same load now 67 degrees with fan at 60%. Crazy difference! Even lowered my case fans by half, still get 68-69 degrees.
@@softbread4975 Sorry, dunno. It was fairly thin as I recall. I reused the original padding. Just remove it gently. Still using the 2080 daily. All good and cool temps!
Thanks for this video. I just used it as a guide to repaste my Gigabyte 2080 8GB OC model and it worked like a charm. Didn’t even bother with the pads on the memory, just used a cheap paste off Amazon and cleaned it well and saw a huge decrease in noise and fan speed along with lower temps. Great vid.
My card was always reaching 81C and thermal throttling I even undervolted it and it was the same. I replaced the thermal paste which was not even paste anymore it was cement completely dried out I could barley open the card that's how cemented it was to the dye. I used 1gr thermal grizzly kryonaut and i went from always 81C to 65C max under load its insane and my card is so much quieter now I can even overclock it. I did not replace the thermal pads i used the old ones they were still good, you only have to be careful when you open the card to not rip them apart. If you are having temp issues with this card please replace the paste it will make a huge difference, not sure if gigabyte used shitty paste but mine was pretty much cement not even paste anymore..
when you did this did you replace the thermal pads or just the paste? Edit I the gpu hotspot was getting around 105 degrees and like 80-85 temp replaced thermal paste on the die and took some dust from the heat sink and running black myth wukong bench mark gpu is at 99% 228 wats with i7 4790k and temp is 72 degrees with hotspot at 84-85 after like an hour running non stop although on thermal pad looked dried out but it seems to be still fine
IF YOU HAVE A GIGABYTE 2080TI YOU NEED TO DO THIS!!! My 2080 TI was throttling at 90c so I googled the issue and decided to change the thermal paste. Now it's 60-61C and 65C fully overclocked (+15% FPS boost). It's almost like I have a brand new card. Before having this issue I didn't think overclocking was a possibility on this card.
Hey man, this video saved my card ! XD Did the same thing, went from 82-85 to max 70 under load with same gpu as you. The paste was fully dried out and covered no more than 50 % of the die . Thanks ! ( My card was about 3 yo, had high temps before but lately it has begun doing spinups to like 4500+ rpm )
@@chrislickytung i did not change the pads, i was just carefull when opening it. Pads is not what is going to work wonders , aslong as you dont rip them apart you should be good
@@oscargren666 You should try phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer, performs works better than traditional pastes and there is no pump-out effect. Instead of thermal pads, I advise you to apply thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro. It is also a good idea to do undervolting.
I bought a 2080 Super off of eBay and it kept running at 80C+ almost all the time. I opened it up and found literal powdered sugar on the GPU. Replaced the thermal paste and now I’m running 65C or less
Thanks heaps, fans were going absolutely wild like deafening even through headphones. Now is running cool and quiet, can't believe i never thought of this when i change my CPU thermal paste every year.
Man been looking this for awhile.I have the same card I did all the front 1mm it didn’t work I was getting 0.5 mm and then I show your video.thank you so much .
changed all of the pads today and the thermal paste. Used minus 8 pads and arctic mx5 paste. I saw no difference at all. I oprened the card again, re-assembled it, and again no difference....is there a time frame for the pads to start working right? pad sizes are corrent (thinckness)
Yeah this gigabyte card in particular NEEDS to be repasted every couple year or so otherwise it straight up does not function as a product. Constant throttling.
@@qdlaty23 Just took apart this GPU today and your comment is wrong. These are not just PCB screws, those 2 also connect to the heatsink and must be removed. So yeah I would suggest you delete this comment.
@@ayylmao2202 You only need to remove the 7 phillips head screws for repasting It helped me to run a game for 10 minutes to heat it up before pulling it apart
Okay well the music wasn't for me, but this helped. However I don't think you need to spread the the paste like that! Nearly every professional video I have watched on applying thermal paste says you just create a small dot in the center and let it spread out on contact. You're caking the whole surface with what looks like a very thick layer of paste. Maybe it worked out okay for you this time, but I'd recommend doing some more research before continuing with that technique. I think applying too much thermal paste actually leads to small air bubbles and insulation problems, you want the contact interface to be as thin as possible
Biggest Difference between GPU and CPU is that with a CPU you are applying paste to the heat spreader rather than on the GPU you are applying paste directly to the die. More paste/more even coverage is generally considered necessary because you need to ensure that all parts of the die are covered, whereas a CPU if part of the heat spreader isn't contacted it's not a big deal (though temps could be worse regardless)
I have exactly the same card and I need to change the pads. Can you be more exact and tell which are 0.5 mm and which are 1.0mm? I have a temperature throttling, therefore I decided to change all pads and repaste the chip. But I didn't measure the thickness of the pads and used 1.5mm for all. Now I have 10°C higher temp than before. It's clear that some pads must be thinner but I must find out exact thickness of every pad used.
@@JMJAP9 Yes, you are absolutely right. I did it like you said and it works. Temp is by 10°C lower and fan is quiet and not as loud as vacuum cleaner like before :-)
Et les pads des condos et en dessous de la back plate , l'autre coté de la VRAM il y a aussi des pads a changer , ça sert a rien de le faire si tu ne fait que le quart...
