Reviving an ASUS ROG GTX 1080 | Thermal Pad & Paste Refresh (‑16°C)

A friends old ASUS ROG GTX 1080 was getting way too hot, so in this video I show you how I replaced the thermal pads and thermal paste and cleaned the entire card. This is not a polished guide, it’s just my real‑world experience working on a GPU and sharing the process and results with you. After the refresh, the temperatures dropped by around 16°C under load, which makes the card much more comfortable to use again. Drop a comment and tell me if you’d try something like this on your own GPU or if you’d rather leave it as it is. #hardware #clean #gpu
