You might want to consider the thermal conductivity of the stock coolers you have. The HY510 cooler generally offers higher heat transfer compared to standard stock coolers, so it could be a better choice for improved performance.

I'm really considering this a lot. The paste on the stock cooler seems pretty new—just a couple degrees off. That’s what’s stopping me from making a change.

It seems the device is about three years old and temperatures have increased by at least five degrees Celsius (from around 65 to 70-73). I’m worried it might cause thermal throttling soon if I don’t update it. I’ve noticed some YouTube channels talking about changing thermal paste every 3 to 5 years.

You're comparing thermal paste options. The Z10 from Deepcool typically offers around 9 W/m·K, while the Hyco 510 has about 1.93 W/m·K. That's a noticeable gap—roughly a 3.5 times difference in thermal conductivity.
