I have a geforce 7900GTX with a zulman cooler, not sure offhand which it is. It did drop temps over 10c when I first installed it many years ago. Just a bit ago I noticed playing Quake 1 with opernGL enabled it spiked over 70c for first time in long time. I checked the fan is clean. I think it maybe time to change the heatsink paste or whatever its called.
Is the stuff I use on cpu's fine for this cards cooler as well?
Many say this isn't that hot for this card, but its higher than was running even running newer games. This is the only reason I ask. I am saving for better card for this pc, but the card in here will get passed down to my other pc so will still be in use is why I want to be sure I keep it as cool as I can.
