How often do you reapply thermal paste to your CPU? What thermal compound do you use?
Some sites say: 3-6 months.
Some sites say: Never, unless you have a problem.
I'm planning to get one of the following:
AS5
AS5 Ceramique
Nanotherm PCM+
AS5 is said to be harder to apply, Ceramique is said to be easier to apply and doesn't crack, PCM+ is said to be MUCH cooler, much easier to apply, much easier to remove.
Which one do you think will last the longest? I don't want to have to reapply this stuff over and over again.
