How to properly clean my gpu?

[Hardwell23]

Hello everyone, as the title says; I am interested in knowing if anyone has given maintenance I mean cleaning, change of thermal paste to your graphics card that in this case made by HP so it is difficult for me to find a tutorial on how to clean it without affecting it.
My pc is a HP pavilion gaming desktop TG01

You did not mention your GPU.

I looked up your system and some come with an RX 5500 AMD graphics card.  There is a teardown video here

Unless your card has badly overheated, the fan usually gives out before the thermal paste dries out.

I recommend blowing out the dust and downloading and installing MSI's afterburner app to control the GPU fan.

You can set a temperature curve to make it run faster when the temp gets high or just set it for maximum speed.

The teardown video above is not professional as a static mat was not used nor was cleaning fluid (paste solvent).  A Q-Tip is needed to remove paste from edges of GPU.  Also suspicious is the large amount of leftover paste that covers the smaller support chips adjacent to the main GPU chip.

I didn't mention it because I thought that the specs of my computer would be enough, but it's an Nvidia RTX3060 assembled by HP, it looks very similar to the one in the video you sent me but not quite. Do you have another video?

hi

@Hardwell23 

how long have you had this computer?
according to what we find here:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-pc-tg01-2000a/2100367769/model/21004...

these are relatively recent models, could you still be under warranty?
And even if not the case recently, unless it is a design problem, you should not disassemble your graphics card to change the thermal paste!
You risk damaging it even more.
For the speed of the fans, it's up to you, but not a very good thing, either, it's moving the problem
Just see if a good thorough cleaning can be enough at least
It's up to you, but I've had hp graphics cards for quite a few years and there's no need to modify the thermal paste, sometimes a simple cleaning of the computer, and it works!

note that some hp models the problem comes mainly from the case , if overheating is your problem

Yes I have warranty but at the moment I can't take my pc to the technical service. I have about 7 months with this pc but already the GPU temperatures are increasing and I only managed to remove the dust without removing the gpu but I don't see a significant change. I think that every time the temp will increase and I don't know what to do.

How hot it is getting?  Above 93c (tmax) it will slow down and a game MAY noticably lag.

Nvidia spec for rtx 3060 is here

What, if anything, are you monitoring the temps with?

[Hardwell23]

Well the maximum temperatures are 72 degrees Celsius and it is true that there is still a long way to reach the maximum which is the 92 degrees that appear in your image but a few months ago the maximum was 65. I should clarify that these temperatures are reached when I'm playing a game that demands a lot of graphics but they are increasing as time goes by.

hi @Hardwell23 

See the other proposals that can be made @BeemerBiker 
but since you are under warranty, if you modify the computer, disassemble the graphics card or otherwise, this warranty may be voided by hp
And if ever what you do is not enough, or if it no longer works properly and it's broken, you can no longer have warranty support.

it's up to you, @Hardwell23  I prefer to warn you of the risk !

note the statement you say in game is not excessive
