Hello everyone, I’m new to changing thermal paste on a GPU. I’ve done it on CPUs, but I’m not sure which thermal pastes are recommended for GPUs in terms of quality and brands. I’d also like to know about thermal pad brands. I’ve read about Gelid GP-Ultimate, Thermalright Odyssey Extreme, and Fujipoly Ultra Extreme XR-m, but I’m unsure how good they are. I also need to know the thickness for a Sapphire Pure Edition RX 7800XT. I’d appreciate any guidance and thank you in advance.
