Same Temp. After Re-applying Thermal Paste.

Hmm..

Let's see. So I replaced my GPU's thermal paste and it didn't make a difference. (The thermal paste I replaced it with was an mx-4. It had the manufacturer's old thermal so if you were question what was the thermal paste before I replaced it there's that.) I'm not really disappointed as I learnt how to replace it. I haven't really checked and benchmark it much.


Maybe 3 minutes of FurMark and BF4. The temperature were rising much slower than usual. So I'm happy with that. I may need to cure it first before probably. Sorry I'm new at this but if I have noticeably small differences on temps that usually means I did the right things, right? But like I said at least I learnt how to do it. I'm just asking if this is sometimes normal having the same temps. or slower build-up in high temps. (I would expect it with a reference cooler).

Anyone wondering what my temps. are:

idle:38c under load: 77~80c
GTX 760 reference cooler.

Method of applying the thermal: slightly big blob on the center of the die and apply a gentle pressure when I put back my GPU.
