should I put new thermal past on my cpu

[Anime_gxd]

so um this isn’t a new build but i changed the gpu and hdd to a ssd and now I’m going to put my existing hardware in a new case so it would be kinda like a new build and I was wondering should I put new thermal past on my cpu since I’ve had the same cooler/ thermal past for about a yr now and I’m wondering if it will help my thermal go down a bit because my new case is going to be mini itx and it’s really compact

 

so should I put new  thermal paste to my cpu to lower the temps

 

side note- the paste I was using was stock pre applied past on my Ryzen stealth

If you remove the cooler, I recommend putting fresh paste on to avoid air bubbles.

I agree. Replace the paste. I would use something good like Kryonaut since your using a mini itx case.

I can't understand your post, it is so messy. I will just try to answer the question in your title instead.

The reason for changing thermal paste in a nutshell:

 

Overheating problems due to aging

Applying a paste with higher thermal conductivity

depends on how messy & dirty your old paste is, for paste soft enough like from amd stock cooler, you can push  all paste to middle and reuse it

i mean it doesnt hurt your system to replace it, right?

[RobbinM]

Only if you replace it with something better obviously. Don't get that 1 dollar tube from aliexpress, invest in something good as suggested above.

well there are also good & cheap paste though, may be op just have no extra paste on hand

(btw I got 2x 25ml of okay paste for ~$0.3 lol)

That kind of paste is indeed used for electronics. I use them in my DIY amplifiers, but they are not in the league of stock thermal paste of the PC-world mostly.
