Is your graphics card getting too hot? This tip will boost its performance
Graphics cards don’t simply die of old age — they usually suffocate due to neglect. The biggest enemy is dust, which settles on the cooling fins like an insulating layer and sabotages the cooling performance. However, before you take any action, you should carry out a professional diagnosis. Use the free tool Hwinfo for this. Launch the program in ‘Sensors only’ mode and look for the ‘GPU Hotspot Temperature’ reading under your graphics card. This reading represents the hottest spot directly on the silicon chip. Compare it with the normal ‘GPU Temperature,’ which is the average reading. A difference (delta) of more than 20 degrees Celsius under full load is a clear warning sign. It suggests that contact between the chip and the cooler is poor — for example, because the thermal paste has dried out or is unevenly distributed. If the delta is as high as 30 degrees Celsius or more, the card will already be significantly throttling its clock speed to prevent damage (thermal throttling). When carrying out PC maintenance, do pay special attention to your graphics card. After all, with the right GPU care, you can specifically prevent performance losses. Dell The first step in maintenance is cleaning: To do this, first shut down the PC, press the power button, and unplug the power cable. Open the case and blow out the cooling fins with compressed air. Important: Make sure you hold the fan blades in place with your finger or a piece of adhesive tape. If fans spin up uncontrollably due to the compressed air, they can act like a dynamo and send electrical voltages back into the motherboard or destroy their own bearings. If simply cleaning isn’t enough, it’s time to replace the thermal paste. **Note:** Repasting a GPU could void the warranty for certain models and manufacturers. Check your documentation for details. Conventional thermal paste is an option, but some users prefer phase-change material (PCM), such as the PTM7950 thermal pad. The name derives from the material’s physical property of being solid at room temperature (in a pad form) but liquefying at temperatures of around 45 to 55 degrees Celsius. Insider tip for GPU maintenance: Phase-change material such as the PTM7950 change their physical state depending on the temperature — which is ideal. JOYJOM This phase change ensures that the material perfectly fills microscopic irregularities when warm, while it solidifies again when cooled. This prevents the dreaded “pump-out” effect, whereby traditional thermal pastes are gradually squeezed out of the gap due to the thermal expansion of the chip. Applying PTM7950 requires care: Place the pad in the fridge or freezer for around 10 to 60 minutes before use. When cold, it is firmer and much easier to cut to size and remove the protective films. At room temperature, however, it is very sticky. Clean the graphics chip thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (over 90 percent) and a lint-free cloth. Cut the pad exactly to the size of the GPU chip, peel off the first protective film, position it centrally, and then carefully remove the second film. For the surrounding memory modules (VRAM) and voltage regulators, you should use thermal putty (thermal conductive putty). Unlike rigid thermal pads, putty is highly compressible. Thermal Putty is a thermal compound that can be highly compressed. This enables it to ensure optimal temperature performance. Thermal Grizzly This is crucial, as pads that are too thick can easily lift the cooler, thereby reducing the contact pressure on the main chip (GPU). This, in turn, leads to poorer temperature performance. Putty, on the other hand, adapts perfectly to any gap and guarantees maximum contact with the main processor. By combining these proactive steps of cleaning and material optimization, you can transform your PC into a high-performance, long-lasting ecosystem that will serve you faithfully for many years to come. ## Related content * How GPU temperatures affect graphics card clock speeds * How to check your PC’s CPU temperature * Hot laptop?

two bits of info if they can be of help:

1. ya can check temps/other info via www.hwinfo.com

2. laptops can have issues with "pump out" - the thermal paste moves out from between the CPU and heat sink. one way to avoid that is using something like PTM7950. it's a phase change pad; starts out--

yeah, it'll fix the CPU fan warning, as it'll be able to see the pump spinning (assuming the pump does spin lol)

as for the freezing, pup would start by checking Event Viewer

if nothing there stands out, time to start checking temps. pup prefers www.hwinfo.com

would check at idle and under load--

LITTLE HOT THERE 😖
Side note as a former Core Temp user I switched over to HWiNFO a bit ago and never looked back, it's like $1/month but has even more stats and hooks for setting up a Rainmeter widget so I can have a temp/load widget on ur desktop/extra monitor!

Also: something I forgot until I checked HWINFO (great app, btw)

Don't forget to reconfigure your BIOS. The CPU change will likely also reset things such as memory profiles, fan settings, and other things like that. So you'll need to go back through your BIOS and change those back.

Grafikkarte vor Überhitzung schützen: So geht’s
Grafikkarten sterben nicht einfach an Altersschwäche – sie ersticken zumeist an Vernachlässigung. Der größte Feind ist Staub, der sich wie eine Isolierschicht auf die Kühllamellen legt und die Kühlleistung sabotiert. Bevor Sie allerdings zur Tat schreiten, sollten Sie eine professionelle Diagnose stellen. Nutzen Sie dazu das kostenlose Tool Hwinfo. Starten Sie das Programm im Modus „Sensors only“ und suchen Sie unter Ihrer Grafikkarte nach dem Wert „GPU Hotspot Temperature“. Dieser Wert repräsentiert den heißesten Punkt direkt auf dem Silizium-Chip. Vergleichen Sie ihn mit der normalen „GPU Temperature“, dem Durchschnittswert. Eine Differenz (Delta) von mehr als 20 Grad Celsius unter Volllast ist ein deutliches Warnsignal. Es deutet darauf hin, dass der Kontakt zwischen Chip und Kühler mangelhaft ist – beispielsweise weil die Wärmeleitpaste ausgetrocknet oder ungleichmäßig verteilt ist. Beträgt das Delta sogar 30 Grad Celsius oder mehr, so drosselt die Karte bereits massiv ihren Takt, um Schäden zu vermeiden (Thermal Throttling). Legen Sie bei der PC-Wartung auch ein Augenmerk auf Ihre Grafikkarte. Denn mit der richtigen GPU-Pflege beugen Sie gezielt Leistungseinbußen vor. Dell Der erste Schritt der Wartung ist die Reinigung: Dazu fahren Sie den PC zuerst herunter, betätigen den Ausschalter und ziehen das Netzkabel. Öffnen Sie das Gehäuse und blasen Sie nun die Kühllamellen mit Druckluft aus. Wichtig dabei: Halten Sie die Lüfterflügel unbedingt mit dem Finger oder einem Klebestreifen fest. Wenn Lüfter durch Druckluft unkontrolliert hochdrehen, können sie wie ein Dynamo fungieren und elektrische Spannungen zurück in das Mainboard schicken oder ihre eigenen Lager zerstören. Reicht das bloße Reinigen nicht aus, ist es Zeit für den Wechsel des Wärmeleitmaterials. Hier kommt ein Material ins Spiel, das herkömmliche Pasten alt aussehen lässt: Phasenwechselmaterialien (Phase Change Materials, PCM), allen voran das Honeywell PTM7950. Der Name leitet sich von der physikalischen Eigenschaft ab, dass das Material bei Zimmertemperatur fest ist (wie ein Pad), sich aber ab etwa 45 bis 55 Grad Celsius verflüssigt. Geheimtipp für die GPU-Pflege: Phasenwechselmaterial wie etwa Honeywell PTM7950 ändert den Aggregatszustand je nach Temperatur – das ist ideal. JOYJOM Dieser Phasenwechsel sorgt dafür, dass das Material im warmen Betriebszustand mikroskopische Unebenheiten perfekt ausfüllt, während es im abgekühlten Zustand wieder erstarrt. Das verhindert den gefürchteten Pump-out-Effekt, bei dem klassische Pasten durch die thermische Ausdehnung des Chips mit der Zeit aus dem Spalt herausgedrückt werden. Die Anwendung von PTM7950 erfordert Sorgfalt: Legen Sie das Pad vor dem Verwenden für etwa 10 bis 60 Minuten in den Kühlschrank oder das Gefrierfach. Im kalten Zustand ist es fester und lässt sich viel leichter zuschneiden und von den Schutzfolien befreien. Dagegen ist es bei Raumtemperatur sehr klebrig. Reinigen Sie den Grafikchip gründlich mit Isopropanol (über 90 Prozent) und einem fusselfreien Tuch. Schneiden Sie das Pad exakt auf die Größe des GPU-Chips zu, ziehen Sie nun die erste Folie ab, platzieren Sie es dann mittig und entfernen Sie vorsichtig die zweite Folie. Für die umliegenden Speicherbausteine (VRAM) und Spannungswandler sollten Sie Thermal Putty (Wärmeleitknete) nutzen. Im Gegensatz zu starren Wärmeleitpads ist Putty hochgradig komprimierbar. Thermal Putty ist eine Wärmeleitknete, die sich hochgradig komprimieren lässt. Damit kann sie für ein optimales Temperaturverhalten sorgen. Thermal Grizzly Das ist entscheidend, denn zu dicke Pads können den Kühler leicht anheben, wodurch der Anpressdruck auf dem Hauptchip (GPU) sinkt. Das wiederum führt zu einem schlechteren Temperaturverhalten. Putty passt sich hingegen jeder Lücke perfekt an und garantiert maximalen Kontakt am Hauptprozessor. Wenn Sie diese proaktiven Schritte der Reinigung und Materialoptimierung kombinieren, verwandeln Sie Ihren PC in ein hoch performantes und langlebiges Ökosystem, das Ihnen über viele Jahre hinweg treue Dienste leistet. **Lesetipp:** Vor dem GPU-Kauf: Das sollten Sie beachten
