My dad's mobo stopped working so he needs a new one, I ordered it today, but I'm wondering if I should change the thermal paste when putting the heatsink and processor onto the other mobo.
Two guys told me as long as it hasn't overheated and gotten rock hard it should be ok to leave the old paste on, but one other guy said I should change it anyway.
This isn't for a high end gaming pc where heat dissipation is very important, only used to watch movies, e-mail etc.. so is it worth changing it?
