Didn't understood it well. Please explain it a bit better.

You should always have 2-3 years Warranty while buying Electronic Items.

Thermal paste only applies to CPU not GPU. And if you bought from XFX, you get a lifetime warranty.

Please tell me you are joking. PLEASE. There is still a heatsink and still contact points between the heatsink and the GPU.

And he bought a Sapphire card, not a XFX.

No offense, but the way you are explaining things (even with typos and whatnot), it doesnt sound like you know what you are talking about. Im just gonna come out and say it, I doubt that if you replaced the thermal paste, that you did it right. Research how to apply it and redo it. Id almost guarantee that is where your overheating problems come from.
