Solved Thermal Paste Expired?

Yep well just be aware you will have no comeback if you de-lid the CPU and for what it is worth I don't think you will get much of an improvement.

I've never seen my cpu go above 40c and my card above 60c even with intense games or benchmarks
I don't overclock anything, as I rely on this machine too much for other things to risk it getting fried.
Yep well to be honest I have often wondered how I would go doing that my concern would be doing it in a particulate free environment as far as possible. I guess you know already how expensive and just one use that metallic compound is so it could turn out to be a costly flop.
