I've been doing this for over 30 years, and I can tell you you're not getting much value from it. Doing it every 2-3 years is enough under typical conditions.

If I went thin I'd be back in a month or less, but if I went too thick I'd be back fast. That's why I spread with AMD Intel; its cores are centered, making it simple to avoid mistakes. AMD spreads things out a bit more, and the paste I use tends to be thicker.

I'm not your typical user. I likely work harder each year, especially over five years. Heat stress can wear things down over time.

This seems unrelated to their situation since they haven't mentioned engaging in those activities. It's unlikely that changing the past every six months would be the best guidance for them.

You need to know what you're doing with these chips to cause such a fast TIM breakdown. Probably because you're a dedicated gamer or someone who loves intense gaming sessions. I can assure you that running mine is extremely demanding and puts a lot of stress on the system.

It wouldn't be like this, games are straightforward to operate I think. Probably just testing and adjusting things.

I'm not a gamer, but I'm trying to understand this. Some games are tougher to run than others. Their performance depends on how high the system clock is set and whether the code is well-optimized. Sometimes systems struggle with poorly written code that makes them slow. We see this in games that can stress even the latest hardware, despite advertised specs. I think the issue is more about the game's design than just hardware limits.
