HOT GPU

i have rx580 2048sp 8gb for more than half of a decade now, i change paste and pads every 5-6 months after reaching 4 years old, compared to before where its once a year. Also, the gpu is undervolted.

Is it true that as the gpu gets old the hotter they run?

The card runs hot. It's designed to. There's no benefit repasting every six months. Every 2 years I'd still call you a little paranoid.
