Hello everyone. I have a powercolor r9 290 pcs+ model that I bought an aftermarket cooler assembly for. The raijintek morpheus and I'm also stealing the heatsink backplate/pcie support bracket from an accelero twin turbo kit. Is reapplying the paste the same as a cpu? I plan to use rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the ridiculous amount of factory applied paste. Maybe a plastic knife to scrape the stuff out of the crevices.
I usually just place a pea sized drop of IC diamond in the center of my cpu and tighten the cooler evenly. Can I do the same for a gpu? Same amount and application? Do I use less/more? Do I have to manually spread it?
