Thermal Paste thread

I like Arctic Silver 5.

>>55829308
same. used cooler master before that

>>55829308

olive oil and garlic does a great job

>>55829308
Noctua is the best.

cum is the best

>>55829818
Tried it, my CPU shut off within minutes.

Using $1 paste from China, pleasantly surprised.

Use it for my laptop, no noticeable temp change, use it on my HD5770, ~5 degrees temp drop, use it on my cpu, no change.

Going to order a A$3 30g tube for work, it'll save me a lot of money on paste.

Seems your cum is of low quality.

>>55829889
i use this as well, after a year of using arctic silver 5.

2 degrees difference with literally $10 price difference

>>55829931
Sad thing is, 2 degrees is well within the margin of error too.

I can see myself buying Arctic silver 5 if it's 5 or more degrees cooler though, but the current difference is minimal.

>>55829889
Please share the link for this thermal paste. Is it from Gearbest?

Gonna reapply thermal paste on my GPU, was the best method?

I've only ever used the cheapest CM paste I could get or thw one that comes qith the 212 evo. It just werks.

Mx4 when i need non conductive, coolabs ultra when i don't.

Always used Prolimatech PK-1, works as expected but probably no different to anything else

Rice grain in the middle, as least that's what I do.

I've got a Noctua and a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3. I normally use Noctua just like you OP. Stick with the Noctua compound.

That being said, I'm curious to try>>55829889

>>55830079
Which performs better, the bequiet or the noctua d15?

Literally the cheapest shit you can find on eBay, it's all the same so don't bother spending 20c extra on Chinese shit that looks more premium.

>>55830079
It's like a dollar extra for the 30g tube with gold or silver instead of grey or white. I'm tempted...

>>55830169
Noctua but the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 comes really close.

>>55829326
This. I have no reason to use anything other than Arctic Silver 5.

>>55829818
No troll. Has anyone actually tried this and posted results?

Depends on what I'm cooling. A CPU gets five small dots. Four out to the corners, one slightly larger in the middle then put the surface straight down. A GPU I will use an X.

I too tested it on an intel cpu. Here are the results.

What happened to my precious /g/?
Where did all the summer /b/tards come from?

>>55830489
honestly i visit /g/ for this kind of derailing threads

>>55830489
But this is the good stuff.
Go back to jacking off to GPUs.

just a few days ago i tested Noctua NT-H1 , Arctic MX-2 and a chinese one.
Noctua had the best temperatures, followed by the arctic, but the chinese one was just 3-4 degrees above the others, on a medium temperature of 75 degrees under stress (tested on a gayman laptop).
For the price point, the chinese thermal paste is very good if you often assemble or repair computers

>>55830904
>30g for 2 aud
Very good is an understatement when compared to brand name shit for raw value.

Cummings on CPUs is a seriously old may-may.

Bloody android autocorrect. Cumming, not cummings.

Lol @ you plebs wasting all your money on expensive thermal paste.

I've been using pure cream cheese for years, and then I just put some on my bagels too. Feels Good Man.

>Not using your semen to cool the CPU and be one with the machine

>>55831034
Imagine taking your cooler off after 2 years of cream cheese.

>>55831034
Mayonnaise has the best price-performance ratio.

I've heard silver compounds fuck with aluminum/copper alloys and basically solder the sink to the heat spreader. That's bullshit, right?

That depends, are you using AMD?

>>55829308
sun blocker, i call it tropical cooling

>>55830236
Put it in a computer and fire it up faggot

>>55831175
That can happen to any thermal compound if you've used enough of it and left it long enough. It's not specific to any metals or other substances, it's just the thermal compound drying. To remove the heatsink in such a situation, run a CPU intensive programme like prime or the Intel burn in test and then twist the heat sink while pulling after its reached a nice temperature.

>>55831154
how much of a faggot you are for not being able to read a temperature graph

>>55831192
Of course not.

>>55831229
You're safe

I had a thermal problem with my i5 3570k back then.

Mainboard: Asus P8Z77
Cooler: Corsair H100i
THC: Liquid Pro metallic THC with 82 W/mK

I got that build from my company on Christmas 2012 or 2013.
The cores were around 75-95°C and the lid was around 60°C.
So i delidded the CPU using a vice, a thin razor and a small hammer.
I cleaned it, replaced it carefully with the metallic THC and closed it with four tiny dots of silicon so i could easily mount it back into the socket.
Then i used the remaining metallic compound between the watercooler and lid.
Tcore is 53-55°C at 1.39Vcore (offset) at 4800MHz.

I stopped getting higher because the mainboard VRM heats up a lot, i don't want to pump more than 1.4V into the ivy and the speed is good enough.

Same, I've been using Arctic Silver 5 for ten years and have no reason to switch.
