Thermal paste on a video card? Seems like a risky move. Will it really boost performance or just cause more harm than good? Id rather stick to the manufacturers recommendations.

Thermal paste on a video card? Sounds like a gimmick to me. Just give me a good fan and proper ventilation any day. Whos got time for all that extra maintenance anyway?

Thermal paste on video cards? Why not just stick a fan on it and call it a day? Seems like a lot of hassle for minimal gains. Just crank up the AC and game on!

Thermal paste is crucial for efficient heat transfer, especially on high-performance components like video cards. Simply sticking a fan on it wont address the underlying issue of heat dissipation. Proper cooling solutions are essential for maintaining optimal performance and longevity.

Is it just me or does anyone else think using thermal paste on a video card is a waste of time? I mean, does it really make that big of a difference in performance? Seems like overkill to me.
