I would like to know how long it will take before it's time to replace the thermal paste?

I've never had to replace thermal paste - as long as you apply the proper amount and have sufficient cooling, this should never be an issue.

By the time you need thermal paste in about 5-6 years, you'll need a new computer.

I wouldn't do it, change the thermal paste on the Wii U that is.

And Mitch, I don't actually know the answer. Sorry. Integrated graphics can be choosy.

I have already tried unchecking the steam box... and i go to intel toupdate my driver and it says this

"A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact yourcomputer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer."

Wow. Out of the 80% of things I have informed opinions on, people keep asking me things within that 20% I don't want to answer or don't know.
I'm doing alright, I guess. Let's leave it at that.

Your custom drivers for the Toshiba are up to date, but they update far less if ever compared to official Intel drivers. By replacing the Toshiba driver with Intel's you risk having conflicts with software / hardware that use the specific driver. It's a catch 22.
