Does GPU heatsink need to be replaced?
Hi,
I have a 2011 27” iMac with the AMD Radeon HD6770 512MB GPU that stop working properly.
I want to change it so I can also get an upgrade with the AMD Radeon HD6970 2GB. I know this card works on my iMac but the heatsink looks larger because the card itself is larger than the HD6770. Do I need to find and replace the heatsink for one that is for the HD6970?
Thank you very much for your time. Have a great day and stay safe.
BTW: I have already try the baking method on my old GPU, but I don't know if my oven was not good or the card is just bad after I send it for maintenance and when I open it, one screw was off and I think that might ruin the old GPU. I had it work for 2 days after baking XD was fun while it last.
Now is back on box and hope to replace it ASAP.
