Hi there everyone. Im relatively new to overclock.net. I build my first rig just about a year ago now and I have caught the computer bug, always tinkering and planning more builds.
In my rig i have an MSI 6970 Lightning. However i got it from overclockers and it is not the factory overclocked lightning card, has the stock clocks (880 core + 1375 mem). I have overclocked it to lightning speeds. my temps have never been great but acceptable. Recently they have been hitting 72c when playing sleeping dogs for a couple hours. Also i have just been running kombuster and it has been hitting 80-82c in about 2 mins at 1179mV.
I was thinking about reapplying the paste on the card as i have some spare IC Diamond in the house. Is there anything that i should watch out for or keep in mind when doing this. I have looked around on youtube and forums and it seems pretty easy but i just thought i would get some opinions from you guys.
