Thermal Paste

How often should I reapply the thermal paste on my Framework 13 that I bought in Fall 2022?

2-3 years or when temps start acting abnormally.

I’ve got my framework around the same time. The only reason I changed the thermal paste was so I could put instead ptm7950(bit expensive but still worth it). If you have thermal issues I highly recommend considering putting ptm7950(now days you can get it from lttstore, much easier than how I got it from china). For me it was a drop of 8C if I remember correctly on my i7-1280P(while doing extensive stress testing).

Add in the fact that PTM is fire and forget. The service life is sufficient enough that you’ll never replace it in the laptop’s lifetime. PTM is the way to go, both a performance and maintenance standpoint. 10/10 recommend @Danny_Von_TechTips
