Squeaky Voice Tips doesn't handle thermals properly, I suggest better sources.

It's not exactly difficult.

This thread is relevant. Building my new PC right now, have a tube of nt-h1 from noctua and a tube of arctic silver 5. Which one for a ryzen 1700x?

yeah nah

someone told me that its the hardest part (even moreso than watercooling, specifically bending hard tubing).

>>61995649
yes it is

>>61994271
Only filthy casuals believe so. Hardest part is plugging front panel headers.

none of it is hard

The hardest thing is installing a big air cooler
2nd hardest are those damn front panel connectors

Only if you bought a garbage air cooler with garbage mounting hardware. Installing a Noctua tower is a piece of cake.

Changed the cooler of my FX 8320 on Friday when I was drunk as fuck. I think I put on way too much.
Also managed to rip the SATA connector off my HDD, bent some pins in the process and cut both of my thumbs on some sharp edges inside the case.

I'm glad I didn't fuck up completely and break the whole machine.

That's the problem. I do stupid stuff when I'm drunk.

I didn't really plan that.

He didn't say it was hard, just hardest.

>>61994271
Plugging the floppy drive it is.
50% of chance of working, 50% of chance of it burning to the ground because you plugged it upside down.

>>61994379
Whatever, it doesn't make much difference.

>>61994352

I bet you don't.

I think installing the Evo 212 cross bracket is a pain in the ass. Why can't your screw in that middle screw damnit?

>>61994379

MX-4. Same performance, and there is no point in using an electrically conductive paste in 2017. AS5 was great when it came out, but the rest of the market kept improving beyond it, it's time to move on.

>>61994379
any $1 chink paste will be as good as that overpriced crap

>>61997647
Yeah that shit requires you to have at least 4 hands. Worse than fucking IKEA furniture.

>>61996515
>2nd hardest are those damn front panel connectors

>>61994379
whichever is cheapest. if you aren't getting kryonaut or liquid metal products, which are expensive as fuck the difference is menial.

>>61996856
Every single time this is painful.

>>61999471
I seriously panic every time after building a new PC until I see the POST screen. Did I fuck up really bad this time? My low self esteem always tells me that I'm gonna fuck up eventually and I don't have enough money to pay 700+ eurobucks on a new PC just because I fried something.

Made me nearly piss myself when I built my current system, because it has some kind of weird habit where it blackscreens for the first about 10-15 seconds after powering up before it goes to the POST.
I have no idea why it does it, but it's been running fine for 4 years now, so idgaf anymore.

>>61996754
Absolutely disgusting.

I normally never suggest spreading the paste, but my Hyper TX3 is so uneven on the bottom i'll have to.

No. Cable management is.

>put small drop in middle of plate

Any real man does a swastika with the paste before applying the cooler.

>>61996163
Actually, I agree with this. That shit infuriates me so much.

Nah that's too much effort for a crappy 8350 rig clocked at 4.2.

I just had to replace my thermal paste.

Is 39C idle fine for a i7 3770 on overclock turbo mode at 4.2GHz?

How the fuck am I supposed to know? You do know that idle temperatures are dependent on the temperature wherever you are located, right?

Wait, is there supposed to be something tricky about thermal paste?

It requires a particular technique, I guess; but that doesn't make it difficult.

>thermal paste patterns
Am I the only one who just deposits a drop of paste onto the processor, and then uses the heatsink to smear it out over the processor surface? I kinda massage the processor surface with the heatsink surface, works like a charm.
