A word of warning.

If you got an old GPU like a Radeon 7950 or some other 5 year old GPU, then avoid doing any thermal paste changes.

Basically the factory paste is old and like glue and when you separate the heat sink from the chip, it will be hard to get off which will end up using force and you might break some of the solder balls which attach the GPU chip to the PCb board.

I replace my thermal paste regularly every 2month, I live in the tropical area plus almost half of my rig was R9 series. I'm using DeepCool z9 it cost me around $8, I'll need ten pcs each time replacing the thermal paste. The results are pretty good for me.

I have AMD Vega 56, but i couldn't unscrew the screws Sad All the crews now mess up since i forced to open with screw driver. Any solution for my case?

Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and Cool Laboratory Liquid Ultra....they are liquid metal

they corrode aluminum though..and they are CONDUCTIVE so apply carefully, their application is not the same as thermal paste.
