Please tell me about Thermal Paste for CPU

[xarzu]

I have an older computer and I understand that the thermal paste needs to be replaced every five years.  Does anyone have any experience with this or information or recomendations?

Yes normally u need to replace it at least every 5 years, that's assuming you are using the good one.

 

I would suggest using SHINETSU 7783 or 7921, Noctua NT-H1, ARCTIC MX4, those are good and affordable in my book.

 

Application you can find many guide video online, but please understand the principle behind thermal paste, they are not as thermal conduct as the pure metal, you just want them to fill the mico gap between your cooler and CPU, so use as little as possible.
