Fixing the RX 5700 XT Cooler for $0.04 | Paste & Washers vs. Thermal Pad

We added some washers and thermal paste to the RX 5700 XT cooler to fix some of its previously dismal performance.

This fix uses some Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut, although we'd recommend some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on Amazon (https://geni.us/Jrm5Sf).

We also used 4 washers, found easily. The idea is to fix the mounting pressure issue on the RX 5700 XT cooler, a similar issue exhibited by the Radeon VII cooler. This addresses some of the thermal and temperature/noise concerns by bringing down overall GPU temperature, thus allowing lower noise levels at the same performance.
