Yup, it's awful. No, I won't check the thermal paste in both of my now out of warranty GPU's (not to mention that I've never done so in my life) because I have no thermal pads. I don't have much thermal paste left either.
Well, I better clean mine before it looks anything remotely like this.
Since I’m not getting a new gpu, I should prolly replace thermal paste too.
Your pc looks like one of those old geek squad shame pics.
