I was looking at replacing my water cooler since it has been now making a noise. After doing some digging I found out that it should be quiet since its a water cooler. I ordered a new water cooler and didn't do the research enough to figure out that am3+ isn't the same as am3. I haven't reapplied thermal paste in over a year and half, and now my computer seems to be overheating and shutting off.
I've been getting very mixed reviews on reapplying the thermal paste and the company says 3-6 months to reappy it but everyone says yearly or every 2 years and that generally you don't reapply thermal paste. I'm not sure what to do at this point and I don't want to ruin my computer.
