Will you void the warranty on your gpus if you add your own thermal compound?
 
Also what is the best thermal compound?
 
Would you notice a big difference over the cheap stuff thats already applied?
 
Im thinking Artic MX-2 or Artic Silver..

I'm sure the warranty will be null. I think CPU would be OK but GPU is different.

as SP says, unless its not done right you will see no real gain.
