Need help with a question about GPU Blocks!

[roccoroll]

Hi,

 

I am about to take apart my GPU block to give it a clean and was wondering if i need to replace the thermal pads?

 

Thank you

[shypin]

its completely up to you

you could replace pads and thermal paste under it

or just replace thermal paste

or keep both and just replace the processor's thermal paste

Ok, thank you Shypin, wasn't sure if the thermal pads required to be changed or if they deteriorate after a while.
