Gigabyte removes controversial leaking thermal gel from RTX 5070 Ti Windforce V2 — company opts for traditional thermal pads with updated graphics card

Gigabyte removes controversial leaking thermal gel from RTX 5070 Ti Windforce V2 — company opts for traditional thermal pads with updated graphics card

Gigabyte has decided to remove the controversial "server-grade" thermal gel from its new RTX 5070 Ti Windforce V2 graphics card, opting for traditional thermal pads instead. This change was prompted by reports of leakage issues with the gel in earlier production cards, potentially causing overheating in some cases. The new V2 model is smaller in size, with adjustments made to accommodate the change in cooling method. Gigabyte claims the gel removal was not due to functionality concerns, but the exact reason for the switch remains unclear.
