I usually just fill my whole bathtub with thermal paste and completely submerge my whole pc in it. It had yet to exceed -48° i did notice a 92FPS drop due to not being able to see my RGB through the thermal paste, so i made sure to cover the entire bathroom in RGB lights to eliminate FPS loss. 10/10 most effective method so far. Highly recommended.
You should test replacing thermal paste with a metal leaf like gold, copper, or silver, in theory all of them have a greater thermal conductivity but I'd love to see the actual results. Thanks for all of the information.
Really good electrical conductivity too so you have to be careful. The idea of paste or pads is to fill the imperfections of manufacturing (no air gaps) so leaf isn't going to do the trick. Also, most if not all coolers have a copper plate and I even owned one anodized in gold (which made no difference).
I agree with the replacing part. I had applied thermal grizzly kryonaut on my Ryzen 3600 in 2020 and to date the temps are amazing. Recently I changed my CPU to the 5700X3D. I saw many of them were concerned about the higher temperatures because of the higher TDP. Al I did was apply a new thermal grizzly paste, popped on my Deepcool Gammax 400V2 and the temps are perfect. Idle - 35-40 degrees Cinebench - 77 degrees max (Ambient temp - 24 degrees) PS Used the X pattern
Damn good call on how thermal paste is meant to reduce the air gap layer (which is highly insulating). I always thought it’s purpose was that of a thermal gap filler, and I’m sure it does some of that, but definitely eliminating that air layer and replacing it with something of high heat conductivity is it’s biggest impact
Applauding the effort of having so many different pastes and cpus and items to showcase this much info about a single part of PC building lol. Very informative!
a few months ago i replaced a 2008 95W AMD CPU and the temps were still normal using Arctic Silver 5... things might be different for overclocked components but a 2yrs life span for thermal paste seems super short to me. in essence you want just enough thermal paste to fill in air gaps but allow metal to metal contact (as the video states). my preferred method of applying is by spreading a thin layer on top of the CPU.
i never changed my paste its already more than 10 years, its never overheating, idle & load cpu are still fine, idle 33-45C & load 60-75C, and its overclocked too i only clean the pc or fans when its dusty. i would repaste it someday, probably will reduce about 5C
thermal paste isnt hard to use. most now come with a spatula to spread a thin layer over the whole IHS. the old spot in middle or cross shapes are obsolete because chiplets are a thing with latest cpus and changed where the heat is. so long as you dont slather it on so thick it oozes out. or you can use a thermal sheet (kryosheet for instance) and unless you replace cpu or cooler you need never worry about paste at all. carbon sheets unlike phasechange or paste will never pump out over time with heat cycles.
Sometimes the old paste works out perfectly fine, other times it's not. Keep monitoring your CPU temperatures. For the time being, the temperature is safe. Sometimes it seems fine at first but causes things to get worse substantially over the next few months. So if you were working on a customer's PC rather than your own, you'd ALWAYS repaste. But for your own PC, temperature is all that matters, but you should also know your cooler and your CPU and what temperatures the pair is expected to produce in particular.
Got a question for you to try can flux soldering liquid be a better transfer of heat from the cpu to heatsink. Asking on behalf of channel northwest repair.
So I just picked up the Corsair h100 icue cooler now that comes with a pre-applied paste right? I don't have to put nothing on it. It doesn't seem to cover the whole copper's plate though there seems to be space. Will that be okay? It almost looks like a pad. It looks to be a very thin layer. Is it better to just wipe that stuff off and reapply to make sure that there's enough? I don't know like you were saying the peaks and valleys what if there's divots or whatever on the case of the CPU or the copper plate for that matter even though it's pre-applied
When and were to use alternatives is a great subject as well. Phase change material or Graphite pads for example. I am due for a repaste on my board's chipset it is running WAY hotter than it used to so it is obviously time. The southbridge uses paste the vrms use thermal pads. I have been wondering about using PTM7950 or a Graphite pad on the chipset instead of paste. My board is the Asus Rampage IV black edition. it is an oldie but a goodie. It uses heatsinks secured via screws on the back. Better mounting pressure and more secure than push pins but it means I have to completely gut my machine before applying a new cooling solution since it is going to be a bit of a pain so the fewer times I need to repaste the better. Thus why I am wondering about phase change or even better a graphite pad since a graphite pad wont dry out at all
The best pattern is , draw any geometric shape and then draw again the shape inside it , for eg : draw a big circle and then a small circle inside the big circle. As simple as that😄
Maxtor brand is recommended for easy application, cooling effect is also very good, and the kit is complimentary.Applying too much or too little will affect the cooling effect
This really helped a lot, I’m new to the whole PC building thing and I’m repairing an older one and was Confused why the fan was so loud and the pc was getting so hot, then I took the fan off and what do you know there’s dried and pretty much no thermal paste,thanks again
Neither, use diamond thermal pads, they're clear, up to 2mm thickness and is the best available. And works on everything that has to dissipate heat, even on things as hot as lasers, the best part is, you never have to replace it. Rated at 2000W/mK
hey i want to test something, idk if you brave enough to do it. i don't want my pc to set on fire lol Inox is poor conductive material right? can you have a small Inox can and put Ice in it, put on non- water absorption surface cup holder and place under the GPU fan, so the fan could blow the cold air from Ice to cool off you GPU, idk that still create water on the GPU cause of the evaporation from water.
I do a lot of computer work but what ive noticed is my AIO cooler is extremely hard to seperate from my AM4 CPU. The problem i run into is when i take it off to mess with something the CPU tends to pull out regardless of how long i leave it on, and even if i unhook the fans to AIO and let it warm up for as long as i can. Last time it nearly destroyed my 5600x because of the pins i thought i completely broke it until my mother and a needle and a dream fixed it for me. She told me not to take it apart again but the board is slowly giving up on life, and im planning on doing an upgrade in the future and switching in my wifes components to this case so i will have to take it apart lol.
And this is open to anybody for ideas or feedback, Incase it helps its an older Fractal Design Celcius, 360MM with the black pump with a very dark snowflake design on it. think it was celcius but ive had it 6-7 years. [I also managed to put in corsair liquid into the pump a year ago to help the longevity.
I think turning off power to the pump might help to warm up the paste and make it a little more liquidy. If possible, do not pull, twist clockwise and counterclockwise the waterblock, and once it has gotten itself moving, keep twisting while you pull. If you have access, which you might when you remove RAM, you can try wedging a really thin flexible knife in between the heatspreader of the CPU and the cooler, though this is a somewhat risky idea since you really need to hit the spot where the cooler and the CPU lid touch, and not touch the green interposer substrate of the CPU, and the knife can slip. Also remove as much hardware as you quickly can from the PC before you try to remove the cooler to give you better view and access at what's happening. You can use Prime95 to heat up your CPU as far as it'll go. What's happening with the board, reason to replace it?
@SianaGearz I'm planning on doing a new pc build at tax time the board itself is just old a lot of USB issues and stuff so plan on using her motherboard with my cpu so she gets an upgrade. I'll definitely try that when it comes time im really excited to get am5 and move away from pulling my cpu outta socket lol
@@GrayReactsYT I've had USB trouble for a while on a b450 board, it was probably down to fTPM bugs that they had for a while, so new BIOS versions with updated AGESA helped.

I got a 20+ year old pc for free that was heavily used and the thermal paste had never been replaced ever yet it ran way cooler than I expected I wouldn’t worry too much (it wasn’t running anything too heavy though, before I get yelled at)
Recently saw another youtuber talking about airbubbles createdin the past never heard of such a thing is it a thing? does it even matter? Also how long does thermal paste last? Or when should you reapply it? OH just had to wait a bit you covered these things LOL Thank you for this!
Ptm7950 is thermal paste but even better with higher thermal conductivity very close to liquid metal and just as safe and easy to clean without the risks of liquid metal. Only buy honeywell ptm7950 as its a reputable brand. Also forgot to mention it lasts way longer than thermal paste and doesn't pump out or dry out.
By "standard" is that the "Wraith", or the "Wraith Stealth"? What BIOS settings do you have regarding power limits, PBO, fan curves etc.? Are you absolutely sure it's installed properly and securely, with full contact between the CPU and the cooler? What temperatures do you idle at, in Windows or in the BIOS? 90 sounds pretty high for a 5700X but if it's the smaller "Stealth" cooler, and especially if the power limits are unlocked or if the fan is set too slow, I can see it.
What pisses me off is the thermal paste factory application WITHIN the GPU and CPU are worse than anything I could have done. It's like these small attention to details go a long way, but no, I'm supposed to pay 200$ for better performance. Capitalism is insane. I'm sure if PC parts were built like vintage machines, this shit would just WORK. Like a literal tank.
The W/mK figures specified by manufacturers are measured in very adventurous ways so it's a proxy value, real thermal conductivity ranges between 0.9 (basic white paste) and just short of 5 W/mK. Some of the best pastes have real thermal conductivity values around 2-3W/mK. Because we don't actually buy thermal paste for its bulk conductivity properties, but for its surface thermal impedance reduction properties, which are more difficult to measure and not really specified. The actual thickness of the paste layer is generally thin enough with good application. Though resulting paste layer thickness matters too but it depends on paste flow properties. Furthermore since every manufacturer measures thermal conductivity in their own way, the specification values are not comparable between them. 6:42 ruined the board. Even if you clean this up right away, a little bit of gallium will have alloyed with tin and will continue making its way through it, and in a year or a few that little resistor is likely falling off. Suggested course of action is to repopulate that part of the board with fresh components, flooding the pads real well and braiding them dry. Random dead demo board right? Oh btw cheap white pastes with low thermal performance can have some very nice other properties. There are types that are rated for much higher temperatures like over 200°C continuous and they can be resistant to pump-out/dry-out for 10-20 years when used under 100°C. One should be slightly wary of pastes with exceptionally good thermal performance, as as a rule, their long term endurance suffers. Liquid metal doesn't count though, it's a thing of its own.
Great videos and format. Unfortunately audio quality is not that great, and makes it painful to watch. Sound very tinny. Something you may want to look into. Thanks
Too much over-thinking of a basic issue....If your CPU or cooler is so distorted on the surface that it creates gaps so large the TP can't fill them, you bought the wrong hardware. This is getting worse than people who want to measure the angle of their hammock lines to get the "perfect hang". How many times can you split that hair?! It just goes to show the lack of cognitive skills to be able to discern basic deductive reasoning. Knowledge does not equal wisdom. "Educated people" are not getting smarter. And just to be clear, this is NOT a poke at the author of this video. I love this guy! It's the idiocy that he's trying to address that's the problem. Unless he's the one that came up with the "Gap" theory. 😂
I watched this video about 6 years AFTER I applied thermal paste. Am I screwed?
You need to repaste, it lasts about 6yrs before it dries out
@@TheBlueBunnyKen valide answer
I mean if your pc survived 6 years I think that’s a good sign
Your PC is going to explode

Just spread it evenly with a spatula, then you can put very small dot in the middle if you want to make sure there is enough paste on top of the core.

There are types that are rated for much higher temperatures like over 200°C continuous and they can be resistant to pump-out/dry-out for 10-20 years when used under 100°C. One should be slightly wary of pastes with exceptionally good thermal performance, as as a rule, their long term endurance suffers. Liquid metal doesn't count though, it's a thing of its own.
Sandwich Method ? Just spread the thermal paste evenly across the entire surface.
The turtle pattern is best
just spread out is the best all other is toless or too much
5:58 now hold up, how

This was cool but would love a video where you go into detail.
... I kid
My intrusive thoughts when he said what happens when you eat thermal paste: Try the gray stuff its delicious 😂
Great videos and format. Unfortunately audio quality is not that great, and makes it painful to watch. Sound very tinny. Something you may want to look into. Thanks
I want a graphics card for games, the card I have is broken 😢😢😢
To late I already put thermal paste in my pc
day 199 of eating yeesterpaste everyday
wow that is one long ass video...but thanks, and nice Tiesto background, too bad he sold out
Kingpin needs to be replaced every year.
There's also thermal pumpout that is frequently talked about with some brands of thermal paste.
0.2g not more or as
Mr Yeester is so funny!!
i just use micro spatula and spread evenly 😂
The square paste pattern is best.
My cpu doesn’t overheat even if I remove the thermal paste 😂
Hi
Patterns does matter. Lines and X are terrible, they created air pockets.
No, not if you do it correctly lol
Pea method for square CPUs. Line method for Rectangle CPUs.
All about Thermal Paste and Imma1st
Don't take my comments seriously. It's only a meme
Too much over-thinking of a basic issue....If your CPU or cooler is so distorted on the surface that it creates gaps so large the TP can't fill them, you bought the wrong hardware. This is getting worse than people who want to measure the angle of their hammock lines to get the "perfect hang". How many times can you split that hair?! It just goes to show the lack of cognitive skills to be able to discern basic deductive reasoning. Knowledge does not equal wisdom. "Educated people" are not getting smarter.
And just to be clear, this is NOT a poke at the author of this video. I love this guy! It's the idiocy that he's trying to address that's the problem. Unless he's the one that came up with the "Gap" theory. 😂
nice
THIS MUST BE A JOKE, RIGHT. PLACE HEATSINK PASTE ON THE HEATSINK! NOT THE CPU@!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND A SMALL SPOT IS ENOUGH! DUHHHHHHH!
Can you give me a graphic card please 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
