questions about repasting my card?
Post Body

My temps on my gtx 1080 are not great so i think i want to repaste it and clean it out but i have a few questions.

What do i need to watch out for while taking the card apart? Like is static a big threat to the card if it has no backplate covering the top?

Do i need to repaste every few months after i apply my own for the first time? Ive heard the stock paste lasts far longer.

Can achohol or the new paste short out the card if it touches surrounding circuts.

Sorry, this is all very nervewracking to me and i feel like im inevitably going to break my card somehow with sensitive of a piece of equipment it is.
