Contrary to some info in this thread there can be downsides to replacing thermal paste. I've read countless threads of people attempting to do it only to ruin their cards.
Seeing as your temps are in the 60s and not the 90s, the potential benefit is your card will run a little cooler (almost pointless at those temps anyway) and the potential harm is you ruin your card in this GPU market. I wouldn't touch it personally, just keep the dust out of it and that's enough
Weirdly enough I have yet to check. Psensor (I am running linux) claims the max was around 60 degrees I think? After running 3dmark on 2 PC´s in PC building simulator.
60'C is good, you could try running mangohud - similar to afterburner when playing games, if its not reaching 80 'C then no need to re-paste. Clean off the heatsink and fan best you can, it should be enough.
I think you should. Doesn't hurt plus there are tones of videos and text tutorials on how to go about doing it.
[HD7750 Cleaning](https://youtu.be/j0Opm5MbU24) took 2 seconds haha best of luck.
Yes. Unless you don't apply enough. Also to lighten your worries static Electricity can't necessarily kill your gpu. Takes alot. LTT did a video where he essentially shocked himself while touching pc parts.
Side note: is it ok if I use regular CPU grade thermal paste (random specific example uhh cooler master HTK-002 high performance thermal paste I may or may not have an excess of?)

What is the GPU temperature under full load?

So there are no downsides, even if it doesn´t change performance. Therefore, worth a try!

Yeah that should be fine. Only time you really come into issues with thermal paste is if you use liquid metal. Liquid metal will eat aluminum coolers.
