I bought an RX480 6 years ago and while it probably can't run the most modern games, it's still a trusty work horse for the ones I still play.

At one point I realised that my games have been crashing with BSOD for a year because the cooling paste melted and spread all around the chip. Fixed it, started working with no issues.

Its right fan was so loud that I thought it was shredding some plastic part. I replaced it, was fine for a week, it's loud as hell again. But it's still working like nothing happened.

I'm considering to replace the TIM (repasting) + thermal pads at some point... The card is now ~5 years old, and if the paste goes bad that would be end of it. The dust that all boards accumulate overtime is also a risk factor of how long components last.
