Ah okay, I think it's 2-4 years people recommend repasting? Think my GPU is like 10 years old and still seems fine, though I don't play any AAA ultra HQ games so that helps. Yeeeeah a bad fan definitely wouldn't be helping that situation either, hopefully nothing has been warped!

Whilst I don't do much AAA, I am a huge VRChat user and really need decent perf for that, as well as QA for a games company where early builds aren't well optimised and I have to record 1440p footage for promo
