Those who will change the thermal interface.
Carefully remove the heat pipes, in my copy, unlike the one indicated in the instructions, both fans are glued to the heat pipes with adhesive tape on both sides (i.e. not only from above, but also from below).
Therefore, I had to shoot together with the fans (2 screws for each and a connector), as a whole. In general, it’s even easier to put it back, because there are guides.
I replaced thermal grease with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, temperatures in idle (~ 4 hours) fell by 4 degrees, in the load (~ 2 hours) about 12 on the video card and 15 on the processor. Because of this, it became less likely to throttle, quieter in weak games, and in general, it suddenly became good.
I ran a couple of hours in Far Cry 5 (dull shit) on default settings (everything is high, TSA) with temperatures of 70 on the video card and 59 on the process (turbo boost ThrottleStop in the game profile is disabled) with stable 60 fps (v-sync due to breaks).
Video card load 92%, percent ~ 20% (without turbo boost, at 2.2 GHz, lol): D
In games like Dota 2, it's generally funny: locked 120 fps (dx9) in exclusive fullscreen on ultra-settings at 60 on the video card and 50 on the processor (without turbo boost).
After the games I drove stress tests, the video card does not rise above 75, I am very pleased with it.
