Well, am i glad i did that!
For testing i ran 6-8 runs of Superposition, which resulted in a max core temp of 84C with a hotspot of 95C.
Took the card apart, and indeed pumpout was a thing already after less than a year. Cleaned it all up, applied some kapton tape around the core to prevent a short. Put some thermal paste in the corners with a toothpick so the Kryosheet would stick and put it all back together.
On a side note, notice how pitted the coldplate is, i could really feel that with my finger, but it doesn't really seem to affect the final results.
Another 6-8 Superposition runs at 265 watts resulted in a max core temp of 74C with a hotspot of 84C.Knowing i'll never have to take it apart again is a great feeling.
