Hi guys,

I just bought a used r9 290x and want to change it's thermal paste. I have these options, from lowest to highest price:

1. Deepcool Z5
2. Xigmatek PTI-G3606
3. Xigmatek PTI-G4512
4. Shin-Etsu X23-7762
5. Xigmatek XI-3
6. Prolimatech Pk3
 
Solution
Really any good brand is fine to use. I settled on noctua NT-H1 for my uses. The biggest benefit would be to clean off the card and apply new thermal paste. As long as it's good quality, you are doing good for the card.
