Arctic Silver 5.
Be sure to use liquid flux. Without it, your wasting your time.

Your wondering why it only lasts around 2 months, its because you have reflowed it
Reflowed motherboards can last anywhere upto 2 years or as little as 2 weeks, there isnt anything you can do about it except apply new thermal compund evrytime it breaks.
Your best bet is to buy a 2nd hand motherboard that hasnt been faulty before or a completely new console.

I am error
I don't mind reflowing it, and I will NOT replace it(as it is my 3.55 jb) but does it harm it to reflow it every couple months or weeks or whatev?

I know that, I was hoping that if i buy the best there is out there, I won't have to replace it as often.

until u get to reballing - reflowing = theres may still hope... common mistakes people usually make
forgetting to pull the little battery off the board & hearing a pop
not assembling the (ground) screw properly
marshmallowing the board
not resting the board
using the wrong thermal compound that ends up being too thin/thick or too sticky it pulls the gpu off the board the next time you try to get to it (usually leads to reballing if its salvageable)
ive fixed a couple from people whove tried there own DIYs but im with you, reflowings a much cheaper option then buying new, squeeze the life out of it
