So a re-paste is completely justified. Regarding memory temperatures on the GPU, you need to turn that feature on in Afterburner since they aren’t displaying it there. For video tips, here’s a helpful tip: don’t worry about the conductivity comment. Unless you’re using liquid metal or a special paste with metal particles, modern pastes are safe regarding electrical conductivity. Even if it spreads slightly, it won’t cause major problems—it just creates a bigger cleaning challenge later. As for brands, I prefer Arctic MX-6 because it’s affordable and works well. If you want something higher quality, KPx Kingpin Extreme is a good choice. For application, on older models (not the newest Ryzen 7000 series), I used a single blob about the size of a pea, plus four smaller ones, placed roughly in the middle and near the CPU corners. This method works especially well with the 5800X3D.
