June 11, 201411 yr Commercial Member I dellded my 3770k just under 2 years ago. I run with an H100 and OCed to 4.8GHz. I am not experiencing any issue at the moment with temps or throttling but was wondering, is there a rough time frame on when i should replace the Liquid Pro TIM (under the lid) or Active Silver (top of the lid)? - Jordan Jafferjee - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | Asus X670-E Pro Prime | Gigabyte RTX4080 Eagle | 64G G.Skill Trident Z.5 DDR5-6000 | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 | 2x2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME | NZXT H7 | Win 11 24H2 | TM Warthog Flight Stick + Throttle | Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | Samsung 43" Odyssey Neo G7 | Dell U3415W
June 11, 201411 yr Author Commercial Member Bert, I am a big believer in"if it ain't broke don't fix it" but I did find this article, was curious if anyone else does "regular" reapplication. How often should I replace my thermal paste? - Jordan Jafferjee - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | Asus X670-E Pro Prime | Gigabyte RTX4080 Eagle | 64G G.Skill Trident Z.5 DDR5-6000 | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 | 2x2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME | NZXT H7 | Win 11 24H2 | TM Warthog Flight Stick + Throttle | Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | Samsung 43" Odyssey Neo G7 | Dell U3415W
