Well, as the title states, I changed the factory thermal paste on my XFX R9 270X DD Edition with some aftermarket ArcticCooling MX-2 (I've been using it for years, best stuff) and the results I got are just astonishing.
During gameplay under full load I dropped down to 60 °C max (-10 °C from previous temperature). I mean, damn, that's a 10 °C difference, just bi changing the thermal paste!
Does anyone here have similar experiences?
Oh, and for a fact, the GPU is a little bit over a year old so there's no way the thermal paste was "getting old" and should be changed.
Just to clarify: the GPU is overvolted, that's why the higher temperatures than other similar models.
