[GPU_TALK!] Worth losing warranty for better results?
We hear stories the pre-applied thermal paste and thermal pad on GPUs are horrible. Horrible as in "quality"
It sure is horrible~~~
The GPU you see above is my recently purchased new GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 TI. Making custom changes like water cooling, thermal paste and pad can be risky, because your warranty on the card becomes nullified.
So I ask, would you risk losing your GPU warranty to apply better thermal paste and pad on your GPU?
Aftermath, the readings on GPU temperature against the clock work improved.
Low temperature against fast clock work on GPU
I am thinking a thermal paste and pad can cost about $40 - $60 USD (depending on the brand and its quality)

Upgrade GPU thermal paste and pad, worth losing the GPU warranty?
