After having to pay R750 just to remove the dust from your system- I will never consider them for anything, to be honest.

Google search for multiple reviews on the paste they sell. Amazon's reviews are always a good start for me.

Yoh you're a sucker for punishment.

Do you really think that is your issue? The paste. You can actually do it yourself then you only pay for the new paste

R30 about?

You can use toothpaste if you don't have thermal paste

I used wheel bearing grease once, on a GTS250, worked fine.

Jip. If I remember correctly Matrix charges R250 just to book the device in.

Absolutely a good idea if you aren't comfortable with working on your own devices. They are running a business so of course it is going to cost you money, but at least this way you have a proper recourse should something go wrong.

They can go fly a kite.

But then again maybe the bloke really can't do it. I've seen a dude entirely unable to disassemble and wire a plug, its sad I tell you.

Wait do you have a desktop and a laptop? Yet you cannot pay for a new GFX card? But you're looking at paying more for Matrix to rip you a new one?

You're a funny guy.

What heatsink do you have on there. Those old AMD's work best with after market heatsink and fan.

Just watch out. If something happens to your laptop:
