And is this thermal paste or pad is good ???

And i am using a GTX 970 2x Armor Edition so which one would be good ?

Paste is what you wanna use on the GPU die 99.99% of the time. Thermal pads can be useful for cooling Vram.

I have never used pads and don't really plan to. I have seen comparisons of temps and paste always works better. Just know how to apply it (google videos for this, or search toms if needed)

Also, a GTX 970, I also have 2x with stock coolers, work great. Why do you need to change the thermal paste? Are you changing the cooler or going water cooling?

I prefer Arctic Silver. Has never gone wrong on me.

My max Gpu temp goes to 80 C and normally 38 so in my case which one is better ?

Abhraneel Roy · Jul 6, 2016

Actually my GTX 970 is 2x Armor Edition which has twin frozr IV and i found a website where it sells twin Frozr V (only the coolers) so i want to change it to that.

Abhraneel Roy :

my 2x 970s get to 80c every time I play Overwatch. I have seen as high as 83c with no problems. The new GPU's are smart. Once they heat up the fans turn up higher and higher. As long as you are not getting and performance issues 80c is safe for your card(s).

If you are looking to lower your temp a new cooler wont help. The fans will just run at a slower speed and still keep your card around 80c. You could manually control your fans if you want a cooler card. If I turn my fan speed to 75% and game they run around 70c. But I prefer to allow the software to control the fan and turn up/down as needed.

Also, another thing to take into account would be warranty. Do you have one on the card still? Will removing the stock cooler void the warranty? I dont know the rules of MSI on GPU "modding".

Ok thank you...
I have last question is this Cooler Master V1 is good ?

I want to buy a thermal paste under or Rs 500 (Indian Currency)

Yes i have the warranty of 3 years !

Abhraneel Roy :

go with the coolmaster, it will work fine. Also check on the warranty. Its different here in the US. If you are willing to void then go for it. But honestly, dont expect a huge boost or a super cool card. 80c is normal for a 970

Abhraneel Roy · Jul 6, 2016

Ok thank you my friend , i am going for that cooler master V1
I actually dont want a huge boost , but it might give better than aftermarket thermal paste !
