Today I got myself a new CPU, the old one being outdated and I am very happy with it 
. The friend from which I bought it told me the thermo-conductive paste applied on the CPU and cooler should be replaced once in 6 months, that’s the recommendation.
How the heck should John Doe from a small village know that AND get the paste? 
My old CPU had only one layer of that paste in all it’s existence and never complained!
I replace it a lot more than once every six months.. every time I clean it (of dust).. If I remove the cooler anyway, why not do it properly…
And I’m really curious how you have the patience to run any adobe products on that processor.. it seems kinda’ lazy (unless you run older version .. cs2-like)
