Just a little info for ya all, if you have any video cards or anything with a heatsink, and its runnging hot stock,/loaded/.
You can take the heatsink off, and clean the garbage tape off, and apply some nice thermo past, ta da,then you will run much cooler. Providing you have nice air flow in the case.

any links on a how to for gpus, the whole nine yards
Not that i can think of, i just removed the face screws, and for the back heatsink it has push pins, all you need is a small philps and a good pair of needle nose pliers. It is really simple. They come apart very easy.

Likely won't make much difference, I've replaced TIM on a number of Sapphire cards (MX2, AS5, NT-H1 etc) and it never did much. Sapphire already uses good TIM

I have two sapphs, max temp on both are different almost 10C different, I'm guessing one needs better TIM or the other is just getting the heat from the bottom card
