Hi ,
I have changed my GPU thermal paste on july of 2019 , by that time the temps on stress tests (aida 64 stability test and heaven ) and usually won´t go higher than 75ºc to 78º c , now on last months it´s been having higher temps up to 85ºc . My gpu is a XFX RX 580 GTS XXX 4gb , from what I´ve read this card seems to be a hot card from the factory anyway .

The dust on the computer is almost nothing , the temperatures on the rest of the components is perfect ... the gpu is very close to 90ºc that by the msi afterburner is the limit temperature , anyway during most of the games it does not reach to 80´s .

I wish to know if there´s any need to change the thermal paste? or the colling solution will not going to be any better? or my temps are about normal?

I have a custom fan curve on MSI Afterburner that I will let here .

Moving this thread into a new thread with the OP's original username once he starts it so members responses will be in it, if the system allows me I will provide a re-direct to the new thread.

Edit: Cannot move responses as they are timestamped and appear in a new thread before the OP's first post..... apologies to the couple who have responded, you will see the new thread with same title once started.

It's here.....
