Hello guys, my xfx rx480 was getting pretty high temps during december so I decided to re apply the thermal paste using the Arctic mx4. During the first week after apply I was getting good temps, they dropped to 62/64°C. But soon they started rising, and about 2 weeks ago they went above 80°C. I thought I've applied the thermal paste incorrectly. So I re applied it another time getting same result: the temps dropped to 62/64°C and now they are rising again, reaching peaks of 75°C.
The temps are recorded using MSI afterburner while gaming.
Should I assume that my arctic mx4 is expired?
 
At the moment I can't buy a new one because of the quarantine in Italy. As soon as I can go outside again I will buy a new one and try. In case this post won't be closed I will reply here with the results. Thanks for the replies
