Especially the hobby non-permanent kind. Some of the paste materials are good enough to be permanently used. The screened thick materials provided initially on heatsinks can be quite good. Hobby pastes vary in endurance. One (which I won't promote by naming it), reacts with the metal in the CPU and the metal in the heatsink. That's an example of a bad choice, as some people have experienced (no warranty support when that damage is detected!). Some of the others, are well designed pastes, with the right kind of viscosity, but if you "abuse" the PC, by dropping or kicking it, that affects the paste integrity (air ingress), and re-pasting those is a good idea. Like, just handling the heavy heatsink assembly, applying too much "torque" to it while working on a PC, can affect it by a few degrees of performance. It's because the huge heatsinks weigh so much, that this kind of thing happens. A light heatsink has sufficient normal force to remain in contact. Paul
