CPU + GPU paste,new

[greyx]

Hello.
Just wanna ask you if it's okay to change the CPU+ GPU paste every 3-4 months.
Intel 7 920 + GTX 285. I use my PC about 9-10 hours,every day.
Thanks.

Could you? Yes.

But why the frag would you want to? Initially, with a new build, I will replace any stock crap with Arctic Silver - knowing I am getting complete coverage instead of wondering how the manufacturer did........but unless the rig sat in a basement for a while, or is showing heat issues, I wouldn't bother changing it that often. It's not like an oil change on your car.

Ok,i leave it. I wanted to open the graphic card,and to blow out the dust,i think that's necessary,and i tought,if i do that,i could change the pasta,as well,but if you say that's okay,i leave it.
Thanks a lot.

No need to take the card apart to blow out the dust, unless it's been a few years since you've cleaned it. You should be able to blast it out with compressed air no problem.
