In short, rarely, this microprocessor does not have strong heating, strong heating goes to the north bridge

if mx2 or mx 4 times every two years

If the computer is working normally it does not freeze, it does not slow down. You do not need to do anything and it is not necessary to change the thermal paste.

Thermal paste service life, not less than 10 years. Moreover, it condenses over time, which increases its thermal conductivity (some "experts" take this process for some mythical drying out).

If you will not dismantle a radiator

correctly applied paste with a good cooler does not need to be replaced for at least 3 years

do not say, a lot depends on the properties of the paste itself.

thermal grease reaches the declared characteristics only after drying

I think that my Arctic has not been dry for several months

You cannot give exact lines, and they do not determine the quality of the paste. I just said that the myth that thermal paste loses its heat-conducting properties when dried, or they worsen, is a myth.

Well, let’s tell it to our estimated “devils” - they’ve been on KTP-8 for 5 years already at full load above 47..49 they don’t heat up;)))

and this despite the fact that the "boxes" often work at full load for 15..18 hours - 3D models consider

Intel Devil's Canyon, if anyone does not know;))
