Thermal Paste

I got my ASUS Dual RTX 3060 12gb OC V2 almost 2 years ago now.... I use my PC around 10-12 hours a day for work and I game around 1-3 hours a day depending on the day. I was wondering when it is ideal to reapply thermal paste? Usually games run around 60-67c but recently I have been playing...

Hi folks, so I have an Asus TUF FX506 laptop and I figured its been 2 years since I bought it and in the name of longevity I wanted to change the thermal paste. So I bought some Kryonaut from TG, repasted it -- realised I made a mistake and the temps didnt get any better(in fact it got worse a...

Hi All 👋🏻, I have an Asus Dual RTX 3060 OC V2. The card was hitting 90°C at 100% power due to bad thermal paste. I was throttling the card to run at 90% power and hitting 81°C for 5 months. (Score 4880). (160W) Performance sucked. Then now I took a huge risk and repasted the card with Arctic...

Hello, Has anyone heard of or used MJ M12 Thermal Paste? I want to know if it's any good. Thank you.

My i7-11700KF always stays at 50c minimum when im not playing or doing anything at idle and when i go to any game it usually stays between 95-105c at all times even when just 15% of the CPU is being used in a game. When i run Prime95 it goes to 100c automatically and stays there but the CPU...

So I have a little bit thermal paste here on the cpu. https://we.tl/t-Ts5b8dFZcA And I am not sure if it is an issue or if I don’t have to worry. Can the thermal paste cause damage? CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 Thermal paste is the paste on the cpu cooler from amd that was in the cpu box

Hello everyone, Laptop model: Lenovo IdeaPad S510p I have been experiencing random fps drops in games for about 4 months. After playing for half an hour yesterday, the CPU temperature was 79C. When I disassembled the laptop, I noticed that one of the fan's cables was eroded, so I connected the...

After 2 decades of reading the questions of others in the hopes of getting my answer this is my very first thread/post. I had a Toshiba L755D-128 Laptop from around 2012. I dug it out and I found it to be like Win98 type slow and the only media I tested was youtube which was constantly glitchy...

Hello Readers, Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 6700 XT 12GB So the problem is quite self-explanatory. I have re-pasted my Graphics card 3 times now. Everytime I repaste, my GPU temperatures plummet during load, around 80-85c (HOTSPOT). But everytime I do this, it does fine for a while but the...

I bought my pc in 2020, and completely forgot to change my thermal paste. It worked completely fine up until the middle of October this year, when the temperature suddenly got up massively, 100°C on desktop and 95 in BIOS. I reapplied the thermal paste on the 23rd of October and cleaned the pc...

Quick question: What is your results (temps) for AMD RX GPUs exchanging the thermal paste to Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut paste? Interested in any results, but hoping for RX 7000 series GPU results if anyone has done it

I want to replace the thermal paste on the RTX 3080 OC Trinity (ZOTAC). At home, I have Mastergel Regular... Is it good enough or should I buy a better one? Also, I was given this info by an AI... and I would appreciate it if someone could confirm if it's relevant Feature Mastergel Regular...

So look, even I think this is a dumb question but given my lack of experience with PC´s and CPUs in particular, I thought I see if someone could help. I bought a 5800x3D not long ago. I had to reapply thermal paster at least 4 times (had to remove my coolermaster to replace it for another air...

hey there, gonna buy a second hand modem which has Qualcomm chipsets and a medium sized heat sink, the problem is im not sure whether the paste on chipsets is still alive. from a video he has uploaded, you can see that weird blue paste. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoW6dCgkL8c&t=342s...

I bought a used gpu and decided to change the thermal paste when I opened it there was no thermal pads on anything. The temp reaches 83-84°C and the card underclocks itself to keep it from not heating up.

View: https://imgur.com/gallery/LC3Nl0L Hi, so my PC was running really slow for a few days, so I used Speccy and my CPU was running around 95-100° C. When not doing anything it runs at about 65. As soon as I do anything, file explorer, websites, etc. It shoots back up to 100. I read online...

Hey y'all... I have had a slight issue: I removed my CPU cooler (A BeQuiet Pure Rock 2) to replace the thermal paste on my Ryzen 5 5600x (the temps were ridiculous so I just thought I'd give it a go). However, the first time it did not boot when everything was screwed back on. Concerned, I...

Hi guys 1 and a half month ago I bought my new gaming pc and I have AMD Radeon Sapphire RX 7900XT 1 week ago I started having problem with high temperatures while gaming and even without it My temperatures were between 70/75 celzius while gaming, games such as Days Gone, Spiderman, Dead...

I am wondering if I need to put thermal paste on the GPU for this system? If so, I assume that I can just use standard thermal paste like e.g. Arctic MX4? CPU: AMD Athlon 700MHz (looks different from normal CPUs, almost like a card but it has quite a big heatsink so I assume the thermal paste...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. my cpu is almost 4 years old but i don't think that's the problem. a few days ago I noticed that the temperature rose a bit excessively towards 80 degrees (playing team fortress 2 certainly not famous for heavy graphics). But today opening msi afterburner...

My cpu cooler screw just stuck if i can remove stand off backplate

Hey, I'm replacing the heatsink in this laptop, but for some reason when I removed the old one, the contact points for thermal paste were all different colors and the CPU one looked like a weird texture. Take a look in the picture Anyone know why this is? Do laptops do something special with...

I am having some temperature issues. Can Silver Thermal Paste be applied on the HDD? Thanks in advance!

am really confused i bought same laptop with same gpu and everything and the only difference i notice was that the 12700h was having lower temp i found this out using the msi afterburner and it confused me alot to why this was the case because i know the 6800h has 7nm while intel has 10nm...

i know the 6800h comes with thermal paste on it but would it be safe to replace it my self in couple of years depending on how long it last and when i need to add more so could i just add liquid metal instead of thermal paste on 6800h though i know its only the 12700h intel version that comes...

does liquid metal last much longer than thermal paste in long term let say would liquid metal be a better choice i know it also might on the brand but let say it was the same brand with liquid metal and thermal paste would the thermal paste have longer run

So, my GPU was having a weird hotspot temperature of 90-100 during load while my core temps were around 70 while gaming. I thought that was strange so I decided to repad and repaste. I used cooler master V1 IC value thermal compound for GPU die and Arctic APT2560 1mm thermal pad for the rest...

Years ago I spilled some thermal paste (I think it was Artic but I'm not sure) on one of the RAM slots of my motherboard (ASUS Z-97 Pro Gamer). If there's RAM installed in that slot, the PC wouldn't boot. If there's no RAM in that slot, the PC boots normally. I was afraid of cleaning it so I...

Hello. I just changed my computer case. Temperatures usually reach 60/70 celcius at most but since I switched my system to a new computer case and having changed the cpu thermal paste. I have had extremely high temperatures. I changed the thermal paste again and noticed that the paste was...

Recently I bought a new CPU cooler, and as I was installing it I accidentaly put too much thermal paste and it spilled underneath the CPU, and to make things even worse, SOMEHOW one pin from the mobo endend up bending!! I didn't notice it soon as I instaled it and tryied turning my pc on...

Hello Tom'sHardware. I've bought a ASUS x509JB back 2 years ago. While gaming performance was good, temps the same, barely hitting 78°C. Like 1 year ago, the temps were getting insanely hot (87°C, reaching it relatively easy). I've ignored it, even if it affected my performance a lot since the...

So I got an x53 Kraken AIO and installed no proplwm but then realized that the tubes were on the wrong side so I took it off and reoriented, but since I didn't have thermal paste, I reused the pre-applied thermal paste is that fine?

I want to change the thermal paste and thermal pads on my 2080 Ti Aorus Xtreme. I think to use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Gelid GP Extreme thermal pads. But I have seen users complain about Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut that it dries out quickly. Don't know is it true or not. What do you think...

So i dont really know anything about computers or hardware to be honest. I recently went to Staples so that they can clean my desktop dust internally, since i have 0 knowledge about computers i didnt want to clean it myself. When i went to get the computer back, the guy told me he had to but new...

Hello, i received a faulty motherboard so i had to disassemble the system. Now i received a new one, and i am wondering if i can use the same pre-applied thermal paste when putting the cooler back on ? Thermal paste looks like this: imgur.com/a/J6d3pWc Is this considered a dried up thermal...
