¿Applying Artic Silver 5 To a Reference card?

[PhreakZero]

Hi guys i was wondering if i can apply AS5 to my Reference R9 290 without a problem, 
Actualy im using Ceramique 2 for it but idk i think that Artic Silver 5 may work better, 

Thanks and Greetings from Colombia

You should be able to just fine. Also, it'd be worth buying an aftermarket cooler so you don't continue having a space heater c:

the problem with some is the removal of the cooler,just saying in case has to use the warranty in the future
