Thermal Paste

Hello, I ordered a new cooler, the nh d15s from noctua and some thermal paste. I searched for the best one and got krryonaut. Now I am reading threads about people who say that it is degrading really fast and drying/scratching and denting cpu. Is this true? I also saw that above 80 degrees it...

View: https://imgur.com/gallery/2LSrc0g I applied this and an extra really small drop on the right hand side of the blob of paste. Will this much be ok, and will my motherboard and cpu be protected from shorts? My cooling is all good at 26-32 C idle and 68C under heavy load (gaming). I...

I recently bought some thermal paste from the brand Duratech. It's a small tube and has a thermal conductivity of 6.5 W/m-k. Is this good enough for the i7-870 with a GAMMAXX 400 cooler?

So I just recently got a 5800x and I cant get any sort of display to show up when its connected. when i was installing it I i got thermal paste on my fingers and when i was touching the cpu i got thermal paste on the pins, would this make the cpu not work? Also I know on amd mobo's there is a...

So I recently bought Diggers Isopropyl Alcohol from Bunnings Warehouse and the amount of Isopropanol in it is 100%. Is this completely fine to remove thermal paste from CPUs? This is what it looks like!

I just completed first build, cable management and all Noticed that i spilled some thermal paste on my motherboard.. pepehands I know thermal paste is generally not electrically conducive but it still might be a problem depending on where it is spilled Looking for some advice as to if this is...

So most if not all of us know for a fact that making your own thermal paste at home isn’t ideal for a multitude of reasons but I for one am in really big need for it, while I was cleaning my computer I decided I should re-apply my thermal paste, wiped it off and when everything was said and done...

So I was building my pc and my stock heatsink wouldn't line up so when I was lining it up the stock thermal paste accidentally smudged against the cpu. I figured it would even out when i squished it down so I kept it, should I go to Best Buy and get new thermal paste to be safe or am I good...

Hi, I have a cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) and cpu (AMD Ryzen 5 3600x). It is the first time I am going to build PC on my own. Please help me with applying thermal paste. With what method should I apply thermal paste? And what details should I take into account considering I am building a PC for...

I own a Dell XPS 15, and there appears to be some thermal issues with the CPU — all the cores run hot and seem to get automatically throttled to c. 20% of capacity. This is a known issue, and there doesn't seem to be an obvious software workaround. One potential fix is to apply some thermal...

Hey, im going to switch out my old motherboard for the Asus Rog Maximus XII Hero and that requires me to switch thermal paste. Im currently using the Corsair H100i and im wondering what thermal paste to use? Going to keep it non-overclocked and my cpu is the i9-10900. In my local stores the...

Hello everyone, I decided to finally clean the old thermal paste of my gpu and put a new one in, it was a success tho when I tested it out on GTA 5, I noticed that the temperature of the GPU is getting higher due to the fact that the RPM of the fans are low, It was only hitting at about 1100+...

ASUS K55VJ-SX026H i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.4GHz (turbo 3.4GHz) 16GB DDR3L PC3-12800 = DDR3-1600 Nvidia GForce 635M 2GB Bought ASUS K55VJ second hand 2015 (manufactured 2012, but believe it's run since 2013 at least), ie 7-8 years. The fan is a goner, I will replace that. a) Will thermal paste age? Is...

I just got the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X as a gift, and in my rushed excitement I messed up the thermal paste a little. I had never dealt with the newer AMD stuff so I was unaware of the pre applied thermal paste. Some came off onto my thumb and my bed sheets when I was messing with it. First...

Hi I have recently built my first gaming rig. My cpu is Ryzen 3 3100. While assembling I have attached and removed the stock cooler many times because I couldn't get all 4 screws to fit properly. After that eventually it was done by closing the screws in cross pattern. But during that I removed...

Hi! I currently have a R5 2600X that is not overclocked and works with the stock cooler, I've had this pc since almost a year ago and it has been working perfectly, until recently, my pc started to shut down and restart when its required to "work more" or at least that's what I think, I can...

Going straight to the point: 1 - Is DeepCool G15 in the same tier as Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut? 2 - Does Thermal Grizzly have any warranty on this type of defect? I mean, change the batch i own. Hello, I had a MA610P and noticed something strange after removing it, the same i noticed in my 212...

I'm getting an AMD R9 280 which has been lying unused in a drawer for almost 2 years. Do I need to change the thermal paste of it because of that? It was working fine when it was last used.

I heard that using isopropyl alcohol will do the trick but I just want to know if this will harm my cpu socket or not if i attempt to clean off the thermal paste with this material. is there a better solution or material i can use or is this fine to use?

I've bought the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, which comes with the Wraith Stock Cooler. I've noticed that the Stock Cooler comes with pre-applied Thermal Paste, however I've also bought a tube of thermal paste ahead of time. After some research, I've noticed that many people say that it is better to use a...

Hi there, i reapplied my gpu thermal paste for 3 times. I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, i tried 3 different methods (too much paste, normal, and little) and all of them gave me a same result which is 58-59C. But i noticed that after a few hours my gpu temps will rise to 60C, and after a...

I’ve had my pc for about two years (can list specs) and never have had a problem with overheating especially my cpu, considering I have a AIO NZXT Kraken cpu cooler, recently my cpu has been heating up to degrees around 90-100 °C when playing cpu and gpu intensive games to the point where I...

I've cleaned my PC before but not this thoroughly. It all started with me dusting it. I took out GPU to dust it separately. And later decided to take off heat sink in order to dust the cooler since there was a tone of dust there. After dusting it thoroughly I put the heat sink back on and then...

I'm seeking help for my laptop which doesn't turn on. This is after I disassembled it and clean the fan, also re-applying a thermal paste as its temp reaches too high to the point of frequently shutting down. Upon my first re-assembly, the laptop won't turn on, without display even with...

just curious

so yesterday i started installing gta v from epic games the whole day, im from a 3rd world country and our internet sucks so bad and i was glad that at the end of the day i was able to download about 30GBs before shutting my system down... when i woke up today to resume the download it restarted...

So I might have gone a little overboard since I'd rather have too much instead of too little. I didn't think about the heatsink wouldn't cover the whole chip so I guess I should have put it on the heatsink like the instructions said but now I have excess on parts of the cpu not covered. Should I...

Hello, I’m building a new pc. I’m getting an I9 with a Corsair h100i cpu cooler. The cooler comes with pre applied thermal paste. My question is would I need to also add thermal paste to my cpu? Or would I be fine without it since the cooler comes with it pre applied?

I have an Acer Swift 3 (SF-315-51G) laptop. In any game that I play when plugged in I get FPS drops. I installed MSI afterburner to find out why and found that the GPU reaches a temperature limit at 69 degrees. I don't have any issue when I play on battery the fps is locked at 60 with a little...

Is there a noticeable difference between lets say for example this https://photos.app.goo.gl/SRUQUyTtFtMGyoZf8 and something with a good name like cooler master ? Also how often do you guys change the paste on CPU and GPU ?
