Call Corsair and ask them what brand of thermal paste they use. Different brands have different lifespans.

For example, my Noctua heatsink came with Noctua NT-H1 paste with a lifespan of 5 years. So I used Arctic MX-5, which has a lifespan of 8 years.

Most thermal pastes last about 5 years, but you have to check the packaging or specs of a particular paste to be sure.

What's the phone number?

Here is how to contact Corsair.

If it's a Corsair AIO cooler, it comes with a thermal pad pre-applied. It's not going to match up with ANY known thermal paste. If it's an air cooler, of which Corsair only has one, then it's a POS and needs to be replaced anyhow. Corsair does sell two types of thermal paste, and to be honest I wouldn't recommend using either of them in the first place. Arctic, Noctua, Thermal grizzly. These are the brands that I most recommend using when it comes to thermal paste. If your unit, for whatever reason, has Corsair thermal paste on it, I'd just replace it as a matter of course BUT only if you KNOW you are not getting good thermal performance.

Its a watercooling system not a cooler

Define the difference.

It doesnt have spining parts.

Also pls help me on the mouse software thread

 

[USAFRet]

It doesnt have spining parts.

There is no pump? No fan(s) to blow air through the rad?

Maybe I missed it, but what is the specific model of this 'water cooler'?

Corsair is a brand, not a model.

I specifically defined "AIO". Which, means, "water cooled". If you don't know that, you probably shouldn't be working on anything anyhow. If you do know that, then you should probably have understood what I said. I'm just trying to clarify this but as you say, water cooled, means it came with a thermal pad pre-applied. So there is NOTHING you are going to find as far as "what kind of thermal paste was used", because there won't be ANYTHING to learn in that regard. There are ZERO specs out there on comparisons of "thermal pads" which are supplied as pre-applied thermal interface material between competing AIO water cooled products. There are comparisons of the products themselves, but SFAIK there are no comparisons of the TIM pad performance from product to product.

The bottom line is STILL, if you had a product that came with a pre-installed TIM pad, you SHOULD replace it with a known good TIM paste, but ONLY if you are having OBVIOUS thermal issues. If not, then it shouldn't even be on your radar. And as USAFRet said, Corsair isn't a model, it's a company, that makes a LOT of different products. Tens of dozens of coolers.

Ugh i built my pc with my hands and i know whats inside.
I dont have thermal issues but in some games i have massive fps drops: Arma 3 (when the map is big),No mans sky (when i go to an another galaxy),minecraft (with realist texture pack), Far Cry (in menu), BeamNG (in menu,when changing cars,when reflections on max are enabled),CS GO (loading screen) and discord (animations)
