gt 520 heats up to ~ 106 degrees
Hi, recently my monitor started to turn off (but the computer continued to work) while playing or watching a video, it turned out that I had not changed the thermal paste for about 3 years and this is such a protective reaction of the computer against overheating, after that I changed the thermal paste to kpt- 8, the computer stopped "turning off" by itself but did not overheat, after ~ 7 minutes of playing, for example, in Skyrim, the video card warmed up to ~ 106 degrees, but it was just ~ 60 on the desktop (infa from msi afterburner) and this even after I removed overclocking, I decided to change the thermal paste again by smearing a layer thinner, after that on the desktop msi gave out 45 degrees, but I did not have time to play 15 minutes in Skyrim as FPS dropped from 60 to 16-25 I left the game and msi gave 103 degrees, later the temperature fell to 60 and did not fall below (on the work table)What do you advise? Yes, the gt 520 is budgetary even for 2012, but I don't have the opportunity to buy another one yet: with

I don't have it, and this is not only in Skyrim, but in all games except 2d and old ones like post 2
The 500th episode is already in production. Consider that 120 degrees is the melting temperature of the PCB PCB. Here, unfortunately, it is recommended to replace it with something budgetary from the 700-900 series, or an analogue of AMD ...
Or, as an option, you can change the thermal paste to Gelid gc Extrime or liquid metal + buy a compatible cooler.

Gelid GC Extrime is the best thermal paste to be applied to the most powerful graphics cards in the factory. Minus it that is enough for a year and a half.
Liquid metal (Cool Laboratory) - much better and more effective than any thermal paste, but expensive and can corrode the GPU after 2 years.
copper waterblock, generously lubricated with Gelid GC Extrime, the circuit and the ultra pump will probably help cool the blazing card.
and so most likely either the chip began to fall off or a couple with the cooling itself. but I do not think that there is a couple that can spoil. most likely the heatsink plate blown over by a skinny one is stupid.

just found out that he actually does not spin at all, even at maximum temperature, if you spin it with your finger, it can spin a little by inertia and stops in 2 seconds, probably this is the whole point

Yes, you can see that everything is dirty there with dust. Take off the card, heatsink and cooler and clean. If the cooler is not spinning, then the grease is dry. Dust and lubricate. I can't advise anything about lubrication. On a laptop, I personally pour brakes or machine oil into the cooler through a syringe. Enough for about a year.

Quite interesting, I thought your version was passively cooled. Well then, for the first time, you can very easily solve this problem, buy a cheap 120mm cooler for 200 rubles and a collective farm to the board.
As for what is with your cooler on the video card, here you have to look yourself.
+ I strongly recommend that you clean your computer once a month, buy a can of squeezed air for 300 rubles, take your computer outside (balcony) and blow it out. A thin layer of dust on batteries can be short, there is a bitter experience with this.

How exactly should you lubricate? I'm not very good at this.
I took off the cooler from the video card and put on a new one only completely different, as a result, the temperature dropped by ~ 25 degrees and the fps stopped falling after a few minutes of playing
. the photo turned around strangely

In principle, as a temporary solution, it is normal, but this design has disadvantages. First and foremost, the cooler will blow dust directly onto the board. But you can live. I would also use one cooler on the reverse side, but ofc is pornography, but the temperature would drop another 10 degrees.
