I did a search, but nothing is coming up (maybe using wrong terms).  Anyway.  Has anyone changed the thermal paste on their 980 cards?  If so, what is the best paste to use?  I know everyone will have different opinions and that's fine.  I am trying to get multiple responses, so I can research them.  It's been awhile since I've used any and all I have is the Artic AS5 and that's 4 years old.  Below are some of the ones I've looked at so far.

Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound TC-GC-03-A

Thanks for the input.  Did you see a difference in your GPU temps?  

Thanks again.  One more question.  I read the that Extreme was hard to spread, although I don't spread, but use the line method.  Will this be a problem?  Is it hard to use the Extreme or should I be aware of anything while using this paste?  I do agree with getting in there and seeing what it looks like.  I see folks posting photos of their GPUs innards and they had blobs of stuff in there.

I was Gelid Extreme user for a long time, probably from the time they came up with that product and I was happy with the results until recently I have switched to MX-4 and no going back to Gelid, even if the price drops to half  which is not the issue here.
2-3 months ago I got 10 tubes of Gelid Extreme and upon opening one of them I've notice that tube had water  accumulation, about half of it and the remaining paste was hard texture, I opened all 10 tubes, all the same thing, OK maybe bad run of tubes
I was about to replace CPU block from 380i to heatkiller, so when I removed it I know this that the Gelid I applied maybe 4-5 months ago was almost bone dry but at the time of applying it was OK, I have 3 systems which on all of them I used Gelid, out of curiosity I have removed CPU block from  another system just to discover that the paste was dry as well, OK so the 10 tubes I got recently  where bad but what about the paste I applied months ago, the paste doesn't last long under heat.
Why I was changing CPU block? my temps where rising very slowly I was wondering what was happening under CPU, now I know.
I emailed Gelid at least 5 times with no response, to me that's  not  a good thing.
When you compare temperatures you getting from different pastes aren't that noticeably different (2-3C Max) I thought I would  try MX-4 and I can tell you, the paste feels very consistent  and its much, much easier to spread.
Guys! keep that though in mind when replacing paste, I thought I would share this info.
