> fanless cooling solutions which tends to degrade after a few years.

Thermal expansion/contraction between cooler and chip itself "pumps" out the thermal paste which over time degrades cooling performance. If the system is running 24/7 its probably not as noticeable because you don't get the frequent heating/cooling you'd see on a device that gets power cycled often.

Nothing a repaste job wont fix.
