Ok i just opened up my graphics card and unscrewed the heatsynch / fan to clean away all the dust (heat issues)... but the contact from the heatsync is obviously a bit dry and old.... is it ok to apply cpu thermal paste on the graphics card heatsynch? i have some arctic silver upstairs been sitting there for about 14 months.... would that be ok or would it break it ? or?? should i just plonk it back with the old stuff and hope its ok? got a nvidia 7900gt |

I recommend to use the Arctic Silver instead. Just clean the GPU with alcohol or something similar and be carefull. |

always use new stuff when re-seating heatsinks. Clean the old stuff right off with something alcoholic, then re paste and you're good to go. |
