Hey. So o received my gpu msi rx 580 armor which was in rma on the store I bought it. The reason was because it started to heat much more and it does alot of noise because of that, which I really don't like.. so now I will change the thermal paste and of that don't solve the issue I will buy a new cooler and I'll avoid the warranty. I was thinking on buying the artic accelero III. 
What do you guys recommend?

The ARMOR heatsink is a piece of shit. Gamers Nexus did a test with it. Pasteswapping won't help, and that already voilates warranty mate.

I'd first check out undervolting the card, you could have a decent chip and significantly cut the power consumption.

To undervolt I just have to low the power at -5 and test it untill it crashes right? 

No that's powertarget. You have to use something like wattman and set the voltages per powerstate. Don't make it flat across the board, it crasehs things.

I tried to undervolt, im at 1330mhz @ 1025mv temps go from 65 to 75 while gaming, it's still a bit loud but its much better than before. Still I don't know if I should open the gpu and trie to change the thermal paste or buy another cooler..Ofc I void the warranty if I do.
