Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35759, member: 636"] GIGABYTE noticed gamers talking about the sticky stuff on their new graphics cards. They want everyone to know this thermal gel works better than flat pads. Machines put the gel on each card to make sure they all perform the same. Tests show this method keeps cards cool under heavy use. The company checks every card before it leaves the factory. The special gel stays put when applied correctly. It can handle temperatures up to 150 °C without melting. Some early RTX 50 Series cards got extra gel to ensure all parts stayed cool. This might look messy, but it does not affect how the card works. The extra gel will not affect performance or how long the card lasts. The company has fixed this issue for newer batches. GIGABYTE tested these cards thoroughly before selling them. They dropped cards from many angles to see if the gel moved. They ran cards at full power for hours in hot rooms. They made sure the cards worked properly, both standing up and lying flat. The gel fills tiny gaps between parts that flat pads miss, creating better heat transfer from hot components to cooling parts. Engineers designed this gel to stay in place during normal use. It helps move heat away from important parts inside the graphics card. Better cooling helps cards run faster without overheating. Graphics cards need good cooling during long gaming sessions. GIGABYTE believes this method works best after careful research. Customers with questions should contact GIGABYTE support in their area. The company promises to help solve any problems and apologizes for any worries this might have caused. GIGABYTE keeps working to make its products better and values feedback from its gaming community. [/QUOTE]
