Thermal Grease

doesn't matter which brand, make sure to get thermal adhesive instead of paste as it's much less prone to trapping air inside of it and transfers heat better than conventional paste.

Hmm, I have actually never heard of the difference.

What's the actual difference, just the composition?

this is a horrible idea if you're delidded or doing it to a gpu

>The diamond dust meme is a little cringe though.
Why? Because of the stupid gemstone graphic?

It just feels like a marketing gimmick. For all I know diamond powder really is the bees knees for thermal conductivity, but on the surface it feels like marketing.

Mayonnaise.

It really is.

Actually works pretty well

Is it better than silver? Why would other brands not be using it if ThermalTake bothers to?

It's a great gift, too. Give it to your girlfriend and tell her it's full of diamonds.

I still have a tube of this stuff. So far it's done the job for
Core 2 Duo e8400 @ 3.5ghz
Phenom II x4 955 @ 4.0ghz
i5-4690k @ 4.6ghz (current)

Mx4 or coolabs ultra/pro

>mfw nothing fixes my hot temps except pushing the cooler onto the CPU while screwing it in, to get it to actually fucking screw in all the way and make contact with the heatsink

>mfw now my cpu will probably die soon

about 2-3x better yes

Not sure, you'd have to ask them.

Nigger, buy a thermal pad

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Thermal-Pad-1-0-Conductivity/dp/B00UYTTDO6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469041384&sr=1-1&keywords=thermal+pad+1mm

You might need the 0.5mm, these are mostly for GPUs. The pad will make an even surface and close any gaps between your cooler and cpu.

Hmm. That really is neat. Looks like I won't be buying any Meme Silver 5 from now on.
