Reapplying Thermal Paste on Hyper T2

Alright, the design of the Hyper T2s bottom thing (The metal piece that touches the CPU/thermal paste) isn't as good compared to the Hyper 212 Evo.

Old thermal paste gets stuck between the pipes and I'm not sure if I should remove them. <

Also, can heatsinks (This one included) be affected/effected by wear-n-tear?

(If I am to reapply a thermal paste, this would be the 3rd time with this Hyper T2)

 

 

Me AMD CPU heats up to +80 C when benchmarking.

This is rare occasion where I would recommend using 90% isopropyl alcohol. Or rubbing alcohol. And microfiber cloth. Cleaning your heatsink with soft cloth or paper doesn't do much of anything. Both aluminum and copper can resist such wear. Scraping it with something harder would be issue.

The job of thermal paste is to replace air and fill the gap between the heatsink and the cpu. If there are gaps in the thermal paste on the bottom of the heatsink, you'r probably not using enough.
