[UPDATE JULY 2019] Still working as a charm. Temps are normal and i haven't got any issues since i changed it back in Nov 2018.

Hopefully it works for you..Changed mine in Nov 2018 and it's still working like a charm till today..

[UPDATE : MARCH 2019] I just came here to say thank you!! I saw this thread on Nov 2018 and it fixed my issue with the RX480 Gaming X. I have been using an MSI RX480 Gaming X 4GB since Oct 15, 2016(till today). It has always been at high temps since i got it even with the fans on while gaming.. The fans were always running at 85 to 100% fan speed while gaming. Last year around mid-November 2018 anytime i would open up a game/gpu bench i would suddenly get a black screen, gpu fans goes direcly to 100% and couldn't to anything besides force shut down. I opened the gpu and to my surprise the thermalpaste was harden and also had a bad application. I replaced it with Arctic Silver 5 and it was a night and day difference! PC stopped crashing and even while gaming for a long period of time, my pc would stay relatively cooler compared to before and fans doesn't run at high rpm anymore.. Till today March 2019 everything's running great.. Gpu max out at 70-73 now compares to before where it would reach 85-88. kudos legend.
