MSI GeForce RTX 2080 AERO 8G

Hi,

Just picked up the following card and upgrading from a Asus Strix 980Ti...

I realise the blower style cards are not the best but I got it cheap, is there anything I should be aware of, and would it be worthwhile re-applying thermal paste and replacing the thermal pads?

Thanks in advance!

I'd just see how it runs first.

Use MSI Afterburner to monitor temps, etc, whilst under stress/gaming.
