I bought a refurbished 960 4gb sold and shipped by newegg, should I be worried about the thermal paste on it? Kind of a dumb question but I just wanted to know before I put everything together and test out temps myself

edit: sorry, I posted in the wrong subforum. Not sure how to delete

one would think when they refurbish they have to take the card apart and this mean pulling the thermal heatsink from gpu , so to reassemble they would use new thermal past, I would run your card and have HWinfo running in sensor mode and see what is the temp of your video card under gaming usage... anything over 80 might be an issue

thermal paste doesn't really get "old" it just dissipates form heat, so i recommend you buy some thermal paste with it incase it need replenishing
