So, if I lift the heatsink and it feels like it's stuck, that indicates the grease has dried? If so, that means AMD uses cheap thermal grease. |
I know, they usually use cheap thermal grease for consoles and its not logical at all. Since consoles are made to last and never to be serviced.
Stock thermal pastes like AMD's or Intel's are usually low quality. If your heatsink feels stuck it also can be that the thermal paste is liquid and sometimes is hard to lift it up. Try and see if it moves left or right.
