Einleitung
Over time, thermal paste can dry out and lose its ability to transfer heat between the GPU and the heatsink. This can lead to overheating and reduce your card's performance.
It is recommended to replace your card's thermal paste every two years.
This tutorial shows you how to replace the thermal paste on an AMD Radeon HD 7890 card.

Video memory chips (VRAM) in GDDR5, on this card we have a total of 1gb of memory spread over 4 256 MB chips.
-
6-pin 12v connector for power supply.
