Finally swapped thermal paste on my 5 year old gaming rig
Used some cheap generic paste for years and always wondered why my temps were hitting 85c under load. Picked up a tube of Arctic MX-6 at Micro Center last week for like 8 bucks and applied it carefully. Same CPU, same cooler, and now I barely break 65c even after hours of gaming. Has anyone else noticed that big of a drop just from switching thermal compounds?

@gavin_mason31 gets it, my cheap paste was basically playdough.
