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.

    There are RGB fans and then there are dust fans too it seems.

    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.

    It looks like a leaf blower would have come in handy.

    I tried to make it a sunday chore to clean out my PC but honestly it's very hard to stick to

    I still never got this bad though

    I need to clean mine out as well at some point, i already noticed a layer if dust laying on the floor of the case. I think i'm gonna wait a bit longer cause i'm thinking of putting in another ssd while i'm at it.

    I watched videos from northwestrepair yt channel and he always said that you have to replace the thermal pads with exactly the same width ones to avoid strain on the gpu. That makes me dont want to replace thermal pads
