    I would like to see some long term data on these pastes. Like test then all new, then every six months.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When temps finally spike that's the time to replace the paste.
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    feel free to conduct your tests on the machines I own
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    haven't replaced those pastes in quite a while lmao

    I only do it when I am upgrading, or it's been a really really long time, like the OG Xbox I owned, modded it took out the clock cap and replaced the thermal paste, (lowered temps like 17C)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    I always replace stock pastes on anything I own (except the Series X due to warranty I suppose and laziness lmao)

    I've seen so many xbox360's with dry paste, just crumbles right off, surprised they didn't burn up.

    thermal paste is designed to fill in the microscratches on the IHS/heatsink so that a flat surface is achieved

    thermal pastes are actually horrible heat conductors on their own
