    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

    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)

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