Thanks for the quick reply. I'll look into that and see if they're available here. Do you have any idea as to why the temperatures would rebound like that after seemingly having been fixed? Does it matter if I started using it pretty much right after reassembling it?

I've repasted my Gigabyte R9 390 twice now (using mx-4) and the improvements in temperature have been great but short lived on both occasions. The first time the temperatures dropped from high 80s to mid 70s and stayed that way for a few weeks before returning to where they started. On the second go around the results were the same but only lasted about 3 days. I haven't changed the thermal pads though so my question is, would the other components of the board like the VRM overheating have an effect on the temperature of the GPU itself? Can't think of anything else to do, my case airflow is good. Ideally I'd go back in time to stop myself from buying this horrible fucking card but that's not gonna happen Thanks
