The reviewer also warned that the large gap between the GPU and the heatsink results in insufficient cooling, and therefore strongly recommends the use of “high viscosity thermal paste”.

Before applying new paste to the GPU, you should also warm the tube in your palm and make sure that the crystal in the GPU is not too cold to the touch. You can also use a hair dryer. The reviewer tested the following application methods: the standard described on the paste packaging; only one drop in the center; vertical line or “sausage” in the middle.

The last method was the winner. But for best effect, it should be combined with a particular style of heatsink installation. The author suggests placing the cooling system directly on top of the GPU without any shifting or major movements by applying a small amount of force to one side of the case using the twin screws on the side. Then you need to insert the screws on the other side and tighten one or the other carefully and alternately until the heatsink is firmly seated. The application of this method guarantees a difference of five degrees compared to other methods.
