a) it is not at all certain since both processes do damage to board and chips and not a single person in this thread knows what will be more severe for each small part of the board or connections.
b) have you actually tried replacing monstrous coolers on moderns cards? Or even buying spares? It is rare, expensive, hard to disassemble and hard to fit back. Some cards even use glue stickers on memory thermo-interface, you can potentially tore chips away.
- Fnoord 9y agoRegarding B I just checked iFixit for Radeon and found 2 (two!!) guides for graphics cards. One for reapplying thermal paste, and one for fixing a noisy fan with I think tape. All the other guides are for laptops specifically. If you know any other good written guides (pref not videos) available to clean and/or replace fans on graphics cards I'd like to learn about them.
