How long does thermal paste last? I've had my PC for 3 years, not changed it.
My specs are;
PSU; Corsair TX550
Motherboard; Intel H110 Express
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB
CPU: Intel i7-7700 3.6 GHz (not OC'd)
RAM: 16 GB
And uh, my temps have been off the charts for CPU. While playing games like Grand Theft Auto V and Rust they'd sometimes get up to 60+ celcius and above. That can't be safe right? I -should- get new thermal paste on there? The issue I'm having is stuttering and freezing in games. I've replaced PSU, updated bios, made sure all other drivers were up to date, made sure windows was up to date on everything, etc. Still happening. Scared for my computer right now. Here's the other thread i made; https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/help-me-with-my-issue.3492717/
