Whether to remove the plastic backplate?
Today I bought a hand GTX 960 in the computer for my wife.Temperature a horse, but in the analysis I see that the thermal pads came out, I'll replace them.
Also on the card there is plastic to the touch backplate. Whether to clean it up? Can improve the temperature? Still plastic not metal

To improve, but not much (and with metal not so clear). But it is better to change pads on brand. Not silicone with Ali. With Chinese even hotter than without them. Branded and are not humane.

Going to take GP Gelid Extreme strip.
And now in furmark video card up to 80 degrees progrevaetsya clearly not the norm.

If you live under fiercely peak loads of 80 degrees, then it's not so bad

If 960 second is one spinner on the aluminum bar. Even replacing the thermal paste on top of the thermal interface will not help.

Version from Apple as the screen
Spoiler
Tomorrow I will try to play with the cooling curve in MSI AB, and the thermal pads buy a new one. Kraynyak will make downclock

For this card 80 is the norm. 2 heat pipes only. Here is the test I looked and realized that for her all the rules. http://www.thg.ru/graphic/obzor_zotac_geforce_gtx_960_amp/
ASUS Strix true 20 degrees below :)

Thank you all for the answers :)
