I've worked in enough factories to know copper anti-seize when I see it.
That stuff is good for two things: making sure stainless steel bolts never seize together, and making sure electrical terminals have a *STRONG* electrical connection.
Also, staining your skin. Forever.
Anti-seize is the herpes of chemicals. Once it gets on you, it gets on all the things. I laughed really hard when it was on his laptop.
So true. Even two years after I had gotten it on me I could still see it on me, under a microscope. But still, that crap doesn’t ever want to come off. Plus my optimist can now see a gold ring in my eye. He told me not to come into contact with any more copper. Ever!
@@richardarmstrong3rd53 Holy! 2 years and your body hasn't gotten rid of it? That stuff seems crazy.
i’ve worked with it enough to know the pain too, still find stains from it months later
When I used this stuff I always made sure my hands had gloves or where wet to makes sure it didn’t get on my hands
"Enough to last you your whole life"
The Verge: I don't think so
Thermal compound expires after a few years.
Icing your CPU with it like a cake, yeah that won't last very long
They should have changed the title to , "how not to build a PC" and everything would have made sense.
Bored with Studies - yeah I actually though that video was pretty informational about mistakes someone might make if they were new and the
Well we could fix that
I dont think you put enough paste on, I think you are supposed to splash it everywhere so your entire motherboard is gold!
On a serious note, shouldn't the entire contact area of the chip be covered?
when you apply force by the coolers flat side, it spreads the paste. You really dont need that much thermal compound :) If it doesnt spread onto all the corners is still not a problem. Under the heatsink, the chip is near at the middle.. so yea. The amout Linus put is more than enough.
The cooler sits on top of the cpu tight enough for the paste to squish out and cover it.
The most popular (and arguably best) method is to put a rice-corn sized dab in the middle of the CPU and let the heatspreader push it into the corners. You really don't need much paste.
I'm still waiting on that RGB thermal compound.

Should've loaded it into a cheap syringe first.
bp what I was thinking.
Well that golden goop show thats its 1/3 as conductive as the alumin in the spec sheets. So even a good application would probably still perform really bad
And then you take your arm.....
The thermal paste is obviously not worth it because there's no RGB
I suppose the qualifier for RGB is for example.... If you install an RGB fan into a case with no windows, is it still RGB? Since if you cannot see it, it must not exist..
Schrodinger's RGB
RGB thermal paste, the new thing with submolecular RGB LEDs! It's like liquid light!
A sunrise you don't see is still a sunrise.
Not really. I'm pretty sure they can also produce cyan and magenta version to make it CMY, which isn't RGB but you are dealing with subtraction so... Yeah it's technically RGB.
You might even be able to get glow-in-the-dark variation.

@jdslyman At the end of the day , the right choice is a good overall paste that isn't crazy expensive or too hard to apply.
My choice is the arctic mx-2, cheap and works amazing. paid 15 buck for 35 grams
@jdslyman I've seen plenty of reviews and they state the mx-2 and mx-4 to be almost identical.
I've used Gelid GC extreme and I've switched cause gelid is extremely hard to spread and I was worried it would dry over time.
Same for Kryonaut , super high cost and not sure about it's ability to widstand time.
I've mounted my Cooler wrong and had to reapply mx-2 , super easy.
Having that much it's not even a problem to do.
@jdslyman
A french RUclipsr tested Zinc and Graphite anti seize and it actually worked really great, inbetween cheap thermal paste and a good one like the noctua nt-h2.
Lithium grease is slightly better than cheap thermal paste.
@@imnota I tried two brands of copper anti-seize and both performed terrible as thermal paste. GD900 does a far better job of an inexpensive bulk thermal paste.

It's not toxic if it contains no heavy metal, but since you can't digest it anyway, it might be bad for your digesting system anyway, so be careful.
You can't digest gum either; it's rubber. So as long as you're eating normally otherwise, and it contains no toxins, it'll be perfectly find.

Thermal Grease is NOT thermal compound! That stuff looks like brake caliper grease for cars haha...
Layne Brown Funny how the company also makes copper grease... But they do have thermal compounds with a higher spec than the one Linus got. Still not sold on buying a kilogram of the stuff in one go though.
Layne Brown I recently saw a video on brake repair and you may be on to something.

LaSombra CS:GO but he's rich
Well you should be cleaning your PC out once a year, and that's a good time to re-do the thermal compound on your CPU and your GPU(s). But you wouldn't need a big $100 jar that only has a shelf life of 2 years, there are smaller amounts you can get with better quality. I'm sure most AIO makers use thermal paste in bulk and put them in the little syringes we get.
That depends on the thermal compound you use. A good thermal compound will last far more than 1 year, without losing efficiency.

try dow corning / dowsil 340 thermal grease.
It is a generic white silicone thermal grease, it comes in a 100g tube for around $10, it is easy and clean to apply you just squeeze a blob out then screw the cap back on.
It performs fine for a basic compound and the tube lasts for ages.
Linus: This thing sucks!
"there goes the product and bankruptcy of that company" xD
Rovian certainly not. this seems to be an industrial product und is not even intended to be used as a thermal paste.
its more likely that this video is sponsored by the other brand
+Ivan Stroganov
how can it not be intended to be used as thermal paste when that's all it's being marketed as?
It's likely bought primarily by companies that don't care that it is shit, and only look at the price.

Because it is supposed to be used for transistor amplifiers or triac switches cooling where high performance heat conductivity is not required but bigger packages come in handy for those applications

No comparisons?
A single product from a single brand?
This doesn't answer the question posed in the title.
Rather, it should be "Is it worth buying this exact specific product in bulk?"
Xclusivity Do you honestly think that buying that much thermal compound is worth it? even if it was high quality
If you run a computer repair shop or a job that requires you to work with computers/ servers then yes. When I was shadowing the IT guy at the college I went to he had a jar of thermal paste and about 12 tubes of the arctic aluminum paste. The jar was for the computers and laptops and the tubes was for the servers.
Depends on the needs of the customer, computer repair shops might, businesses that assemble their own hardware might.
There are several instances where people might want to buy thermal compound in bulk.
At the very least LTT could have gone with a decent brand offering a well-known product in bulk quantities.
For example, www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm
That at least gives people a more valid reference point.
Then they could even compare application method and performance of standard thermal compound in tubes vs. bulk.
Ya really this only applies to computer hardware businesses that constantly apply and\or reapply thermal paste. I mean one tube that comes with your heat sink is enough to do several reapplications.
Would be interesting to see the price for those commercial quantities of Arctic Silver. 100-500 grams
"24 carats of thermal paste" No Linus it's not how that works
Might be, that would put it at 4.8g.
Krzysiek Benc bizarrely enough, that is how it works. 24 carats is 4.8 grams. They also sell 7 carat, which is 1.4 grams. Same paste, just different volume.
Stewart Post mass*
But that *is* how it works. 1 carat = 0.2 grams.
Carat is a measure of mass used mostly for jewelry (gold, silver, gems, ...) so yeah that is the way it works

6:10 Thermal paste application is so intriguing, in that you can only inspect it's application when you disassemble. It's like "Well, hope that's good, find out in 4 years when I upgrade!"
"A paper towel, rubbing, alcohol, and a computer" - LinusSexTips 2017
I bought a 3 gram tube back when I built my pc with a pentium 4, then I used it again for when I built my amd 1100t pc, then I used it again for my i7-4790k and I just checked it and still have some left for my Amd Ryzen 1800x build. That's 16 years for 3 grams. 1 kilo is 333 times more than 3 grams X 16 years, that's enough for a little bit more than 5000 years. I'm just glad I also have amazon prime so I'll get that shit tomorrow.
This one will be good for PC builders or engineers in large companies with lots of PCs to maintain.
No this particular one. I wonder how much one kilo of silver compound is.
Ok but LMG doesn't do 1 build every 5.3 years
RUclips5000 Get new for your new build. After a few years performance is shit
This stuff isn't good enough for use in a PC repair/maintenance business. If I had a business like that, I'd take a closer look at something like the Arctic MX-4 20g tube. It's good, fairly cheap, and due to the low density of MX-4, 20g will be enough for a great many PCs.
Also, I wouldn't use thermal compound older than 10 years.
what about copper grease meant for loosing up bolts? im using it and only that. but im interesting to see how bad/good it is compared to arctic silver 5 and silicon paste
I have a ~14-15 yr old tube of Arctic Silver 5 that I use off and on, I just don't build enough PCs to need a ton of this stuff. Used it this Spring on a build, performs just like day 1.
That stuff looks like automotive copper anti seize.
Pacific Northwest Customs I was thinking that too
Been using it for years lol
that is what I thought 2
Just think ten years down the road his cpu wont be seized to the cooler
it is :P
HY610 ticked, but says HY600 on the front, you know this is going to be a good review...
thats why it's ticked. Manufacturers who sell bulk items will sometimes have a single package for things in the same series, like this hy600 series thermal grease.
You will find they are all hy600, with the line item ticked like it showed (610,620, etc).... So this is the hy600 range, there might well be an HY700 range for all we know.
yup, just like graphics card drivers, you download gtx1000 series drivers, not gtx1070 or gtx1050 drivers
Not really the best example comparing software to physical bulk production, but your point still stands.
I'd like to think it just as an another form of bulk production
Hello Linus, Nice video. Perhaps you can also compare the low cost non brand thermal compounds also basically are found with non brand CPU coolers
well it is mostly only copper powder in it and some grease.
Use it at work for brakejobs (Car mechanic) and it does last a long time, at least 1 year on a car that is beeing used every day an high pressure washed every week.
The only downside is that when standing in a tub it separates a little over time but just mix it and it is conductive.
It usually holds up to over 500 degrees Celsius.
I think you have applied it badly, from the video it is to little.
Using it on my computer right now since i forgot to order thermal paste when rebuilding my computer and it is cooler now (was some regular non metallic, non diamond from before
And as Série B says in the comment you are comparing it to diamond paste which is the most expensive available and might also be the best thermal conductivity on the planet (Diamond)
HY610 is one of the cheapest thermal compounds that you can buy. No wonder why it flopped on a CPU with a 140w TDP. Seriously, go type "thermal compound" on ebay and sort low to high. i've used it on a few of my el cheapo rigs, and I can say with confidence that HY610 is cut with peanut butter and toothpaste.
tacobellchihuahua do you know if the HY710 is any better?!
Yes, it is quite a bit better. If you can get the HY810, it is going to be even better.
Most of the problems with the very cheap thermal paste, like the one Linus used, is consistency within the paste itself, the materials used, and the quality control of the thermal paste.
I've tried the HY610, the 710, and the 810, and both the 710 and 810 are a big step up from the 610.
NeutronPCXT excellent, thank you!
What profession are you guys in that you need massive amounts of thermal paste?
My main present hobbies are PC components and LED flashlight modding.
So I need plenty of thermal paste :)
Linus can't be 45-years-old.

@2:40 That's a nice can of Nuttella you got there! Haha
Wait I'm confused now ( I'm new to PC building) if I buy a cpu cooler do I have to apply thermal paste frequently or just once
You need to replace them depending on your type of usage. For gaming, needs to be replace every 6-8months or if the peak load temp is too high, say 80 C and above and your performance being compromise.
So now what to do with it? Oh wait -> ChannelSuperFun :D
basjesch what the fuck would you do for fun with a tub of thermal compound? Shit I'm confused
I don't know but i'm sure they can think of something ;)
Zack 2 boys 1 tub ;)
Lube. Clearly.
If you can't think of a way ChannelSuperFun could use a tub of thermal compound, then you might have a rather dull and uninspiring imagination.
Is that basically just copper dust suspended in oily gel?
Yup. It's called anti-seize.
It's typically used on fasteners so they don't break off when you're trying to unscrew them. I'm not sure if they still do but Glock at one point used it for lubrication on thei pistols from the factory.
i think its copper grease for lubrication
If it were just copper dust I'd bet it would do better.
I used it when installing torque-to-yield head bolts in engines. I think Linus got scammed.
I’ve always woundered what program he is using to see what his temps are is it on stock windows?
I have diamond polishing paste for polishing gemstone, can we use it as thermal paste.
According to what it looks like, I could use Anti-seize compound as a thermal paste. The stuff you got there is mineral oil mixed with copper dust, same as you use to keep machine screws lubricated.
im pretty sure that thermal compound is not meant for pc processors. im pretty sure its meant for large industrial heatsinks on things like transformers where you need to literally paint it on.
The packaging label did specifically say it was for CPU, VGA and so on. So... no. ;)
eBay is currently full of "1000W LED grow lights" that are $150 and 30x20cm. Another example.

Bungo YT He would probably get a full body rash.
At least he'd be cool :')
I could see this stuff actually having a use in something like a a storage server application where they are running xeon processors and the loads aren't insane, I know this is a use for it because it is what is used in the storage servers of most NSW schools
does anybody know the app he was getting the temp from
Of course the bulk grease will be worse as it has lower thermal conductivity, you could have checked before buying and tried to buy something with similar thermal conductivity.
Linus, read this comment. I demand it.
bar10005 yup, even on the tub, it shows he bought the crappiest one from the range.
USE THE BEST ONE
he also specifically said there wasn't a lot of info on the amazon page
wat? he use the worst one, look at 1:43 and see
3:54 Thermal grease is NOT thermal paste for CPU's it's for lubricating while having thermal transfering.
Thermal grease is synonymous with thermal paste. And it is for CPUs. From the Amazon description: "Apply to CPU, VGA, LED, Chipset and other PC components"
It looks pretty much like the copper paste, which is used for lubricating.
To my knowledge, it is used as a thermal resistant lubricant.
I use it to lubricate certain components of my brake system.
yes it looks like copper grease, used to lubricate cylinder head bolts prior to installation, brake parts and other auto parts that get hot
But that's where you're wrong, Dan. Thermal Grease and thermal paste are two words for the same exact thing - Further shown by the fact that the labels even say so.
Look it up...
+Sakkura Don't believe what Amazon sellers put in their descriptions. There are people on there that would sell you a donky as a horse if they could
Standard "thermal paste" = lithium grease with color die ... unless its white .. then its just white grease .. used in food production machinery. . Inside closed spaces .. seat slides in cars .. (it can't rot or mould)
A tub of it costs $10 ? bucks at your local car part dealer.
It would male a good coolant .. if it was thinner.
Awesome channel guys .. chears for the abvise you give .
How do I change the thermal paste on a non-upgradable laptop? It runs at like 80 despite fans being on full blast AND being on a laptop cooler AND having a mini desktop fan blowing cool over over the top of it 🥺
Looks like basic copper grease in fancy stupid packaging.
At best it's high quality copper grease with a smaller particle size
I'm too high on alcohol wipes to google numbers but I'm sure we can all agree my subjective opinions on this are pretty much fact.
Tsf Phi was thinking it looked like copper anti-seize also.
Aaron Hall now we need to try copper AS for thermal compound. i have some in the garage...

When you have a pretty troublesome problem, You can always depend on the programming hammer and the variable readjustment wrench to knock them 1's and 0's back in line.
If you have sensitive information on a device that is particularly resilient to this treatment, the permanent process termination cutters are the top choice tool for any professional that is considering putting it into retirement. ;)
They use them on computers.
Radiator not staying in place? drill it.
Not fitting into place? Hammer is great for that.
Something is not sliding smooth? Flex it.
Yep LMG is a great place to learn how to carefully handle hardware!
Zcooger Second Channel I actually did saw off part of my case to fit my card in. when the mobo wills it but the frame doesnt? Saw.
I've only ever used Arctic Silver. It's done well for me, but now I'm curious. Anybody know of a better thermal past then Arctic Silver?

Isn't orange paste copper or gold, and silver being grey etc on the metals side of the compounds?

Mayonnaise is better than certain thermal paste
Super glue is way better.

It was peanut butter
I thought mayonnaise was an instrument tho

"Linus 1972-2019"
2019: Thinking about retiring
He really do be looking younger than what his age implies tho
@@a.s.5740 He truly does if he's actually born at 1972. He's older than my parents and I'm 25 years old this year(1974 and 1975 respectively). I always thought he was in his 30s, perhaps even early 30s. To think he's actually in his late 40s at 2020. Crazy. He must be half-asian. Will that mean he might, all of a sudden, look 80 years old overnight someday?
@UnhandledException yeah he wasnt he just turned thirty a few years ago. I think Taran is just fucking with everyone
Seregosa Bro you’ve been implying waaaaaaaay too much. You could’ve just looked at Wikipedia
When stresstesting should I also check the stress gpu option?
looks like rebranded copper lubricant
KY Brand Thermal Compound, for when you just need to reduce the friction and heat, there is no substitute
Dude fuck all this noise in the comments, this shit is fancy peanut butter. I love peanut butter
Ugh... Peanut Butter...
Make a video testing thermal grizzly hydronaut vs noctua nt-h1. I got some weird results. In the beginning (for a 2-3 weeks) the hydronaut is ok, but after that, temps are going up.
