3 things I realized after repasting my GPU for the first time
It's not as scary as I once thought
The thermal paste that comes pre-applied on your GPU out of the factory doesn't last forever. Just like how you apply fresh thermal paste on your CPU every couple of years or so, you need to reapply the thermal paste on your GPU as well if you wish to maintain peak thermal performance. However, most people don't really do this, and that's mainly because disassembling a graphics card isn't as straightforward as unmounting a CPU cooler. More importantly, there's always the risk of potentially damaging your expensive GPU.
