Thermal paste replacement (GPU)

So, more days have passed, the paste now stabilised, if that is a thing.

With the fan speed on auto, I get 76°C @ 1700 rpm, which is 2°C and 500 rpm lower, than it used to be. If I force the fan to run at 2000 rpm, I get 72°C and when I force it to run at 2200 rpm which was common rpm before the paste replacement, I can get sub 70°C.

Long story short, the paste works (no throttling) and I'll leave it there (not gonna buy any ''better'' paste). Maybe the heatsink wasn't just seated properly from the factory.
