Welcome to HowFixit and today I will show how to disassemble, clean from dust and replace
thermal grease on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ZOTAC AMP Extreme graphics card
To disassemble the graphics card, you will need only one Phillips screwdriver or Phillips
2.0 if you using the HowFixit screwdriver set.
Also you will need an antistatic brush and thermal grease.
In the description, you will find links where to buy all the necessary tools and spare parts.
Remove the screws and remove the top panel.
At this step, you can replace the fan if it is broken.
In the description I left a link where to buy a new fan for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
ZOTAC AMP Extreme.
To clean the graphics card from dust, use only an antistatic brush.
Turn the graphics card over again and unscrew all the remaining screws.
Now you can remove the radiator and clean it from dust.
Take a napkin and remove the old thermal grease from the GPU, as well as from the radiator.
If thermal grease is very dry, use isopropyl alcohol to wipe away the thermal grease.
Now take thermal paste and put it on the GPU chip.
Spread thermal grease evenly over the entire surface of the chip.
I use thermal grease Arctic MX-4 or Noctua NT-H1.
Previously I did test of thermal paste and these paste showed the best results, if you
are interested to see this tests, I left the link in the description.
Now go to the reverse assembly.
Install the radiator on top and hold it.
Turn the graphics card over and fasten the screws.
That's all, I hope this video was useful for you, you were on HowFixit and see you next
time.
