Thermal paste is critical for heat transfer between the CPU/GPU and cooler. Its degraded performance can cause overheating, so knowing replacement timing matters.
For daily use (web browsing, office work, light gaming), replace thermal paste every 2–3 years.
Normal use puts little stress on the paste. As long as temps stay stable—CPU below 70°C (light load) and under 85°C (moderate load)—no need to replace earlier.
Heavy users (prolonged gaming, rendering, 3D modeling, overclocking) need replacements every 1–2 years.
These tasks generate sustained high heat, accelerating paste aging. If CPU temps exceed 90°C during heavy use, replace it sooner.
Replace immediately if you notice:
Abnormal temperature spikes: Sudden overheating with no other cause (e.g., dusty coolers).
Frequent throttling: Lag from automatic performance drops due to overheating.
Visible deterioration: Paste is dry, cracked, or powdery when checking hardware.
Paste quality: High-end (silver/ceramic) lasts longer than low-quality options.
Cooler fit: Proper installation with even pressure extends paste life.
Environment: Hot, humid, or dusty conditions speed up degradation.
Clean thoroughly: Use isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove old paste.
Apply correctly: A pea-sized dot in the center spreads evenly under cooler pressure.
Choose wisely: Mid-range works for most; high-performance for heavy use/overclocking.
In short, replacement frequency depends on usage, tasks, and paste condition. Monitor temps and warning signs to keep hardware cool.
