Reapply Thermal Paste?
Whenever you guys remove your heatsink do you normally have to repaste? The reason I ask is because my temps are about 7 - 10 degrees hotter than they used to be. Either I need to reapply paste, or my new video card is pushing my processor to levels the previous one didn't before. FYI I replaced my Albatron 6800 GT with an Elsa Gladiac 6800 GT. |

Yes, you must apply new thermal paste
Yes, you must apply new thermal paste any time you remove your heatsink, and depending on the paste you choose, you may need to reapply it every 1 to 2 years.
 This is the link to the Artic Silver home page, they make the very best thermal paste's and this should answer all of your questions. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ Good Luck
