Latest: JRFreer 6 minutes ago. Hi, So right now it's getting to a max of 72c with auto fan speed.

The old was dried out and I noticed while crunching that my temps are lower by a few degrees which is good to me. And my power usage is higher which is good before and now not sure if that has to do with me changing the paste though. My question is if I use this gpu constantly every day, how often do you recommend I change the thermal paste? Perhaps take a guess if you don't know? Now I am aware that they don't need changing unless they get close to their max temp, but I'm really trying to get the most life out of mine as possible. Thank you!

The GPU thermal paste should only be replaced every five to ten years in most cases. In even the most advanced case, you might choose to upgrade your GPU completely and do not need to apply any additional thermal paste. Now you can apply a small amount of thermal paste, enough to cover the contact area of the GPU, once the heatsink is fitted back and pressed up against the GPU. Keep in mind that not all thermal compounds maintain efficacy the same way.

Mining is one of the heavier tasks you can do on your GPU. If you have good contact between the die and the cooler, there's no reason to change the paste. No problem. There is no record available at this moment. Does mining degrade your thermal paste faster?
