Well, you most likely loose the warranty of the card for a 3°C improvement. judge for yourself...

If it's such a new card, then it's not worth it, but if the card is out of warranty then the paste would probably need replacing anyway.

Liquid pro is very tricky to apply and it bonds like a glue almost but yes, i have found it to be worth it. I personally used IC Diamond and my temps dropped 4 degrees C whaic mad me very happy. The next GPU i buy i will make sure that there is a full waterblock for it before i buy it.
