Yeah, spreading the paste > pea method and then using the heatsink to spread it. I don't know who came up with that stupid idea. The "pea method" doesn't even fully cover the TIM. Doesn't matter if the core is in the middle or not, the entire TIM dissipates the heat, so you want that whole TIM having full contact with the heatsink. Spread your paste, people.

It's been 1 year and 6 months since I built my current PC. It's barely dusty inside... like BARELY at all. Half of it is how you have your intkae/exhaust set up, but most importantly, do you have filters on your case? That's what saves me. My front intake filters fill up with dust FAST... so I wash them with just hot water in the sink, let them dry and put them back on the case. I know I could blow a little dust out of my case, but nothing compared to some of the cases back in the day that didn't have filters. Only thing about filters is that... they restrict air flow. But, I do have 140mm high static pressure fans with high CFM and I can feel the air sucking in strongly through the filters and when I open the side panel, I feel the air blowing HARD, so... it's not so bad with the right fans (I'm using Arctic P14's). They have insane static pressure. Typically, that's for blowing THROUGH filters, but apparently it sucks air through filters, too, lol.

Now im on LM and damn, it was totally worth it, especially for the small CPU die, the rtx 2080 doesnt profit much with stock 150W Bios, but a lot with a 190W Vbios from an alienware notebook. With even much more heat with the 190W Vbios i have with LM, 115mV offset undervolt on the CPU it has no trouble to stay on max turbo clocks and being even cooler. Meanwhile stock the CPU thermalthrottled down to 3,6GHz at 95 degree(noctua paste: 3,7, noctua paste with undervolt 3,8-3,9, LM+UV 4GHz and even cooler than any „regular“ paste Im more worried now with notebooks and its „small“ cooling solutions that my Omen 17 is now getting hotter on some passively cooled components with the airstream, only the CPU package can use now for hours at least 40W, stock it throttled already at stable 25W after a minute
@TechnologyHive3 жыл бұрын
LM works great on CPU's and nickel plated GPU heat sinks. The problem is that when you apply galium based TIM's on copper "evaporation" occurs. For example if you take your laptop apart after having applied LM on your heatsink, you will notice the copper has "absorbed" some of the galium, leaving you with less TIM in between the DIE and heatsink. In time you will notice your temps begin to go higher and higher because of lack of TIM. I'd advice you to stick with thermal pastes instead. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Noctua NT-H1 or 2, MX-4 or MX-5 are excellent long term choices. Of course it is ultimately your choice but I would at least consider it.
@harrison00xXx3 жыл бұрын
@@TechnologyHive so as soon i see rising temps without with dust blocked fans i know i have to reapply LM, yes? Its 2 months ago i applied the LM, even though already about using LM on the desktop but since the temps are pretty ok on the desktop i will still use thermal paste or even pads. Sadly the 9750h i7 isnt running well with any thermal paste, i tried arctic MX4 and one of the noctua pastes, both are only slightly better than the original one and the CPU still cant maintain 3,8 GHz, and we talk about GAMING, as soon i start any heavy CPU workload even the LM isnt enough anymore at 45W+ and i have to apply manual turbo clocks so i have at least stable 3,6, probably 3,7 GHz instead of jumping between 3,3GHz and 4 GHz in very high temps. completely stock with a (AVX-free!) prime95 version the CPU was even only capable of 3GHz allcore since it was running permanently on 95 degree, max of 100 where i dont feel save anymore. I always tried to stay well under 75 degrees, but these were my desktops, i know notebook CPUs running hotter but cmon.... 95 degrees are not ok. with LM i have much more stable turbo clocks and in games also stable 4GHz when i enable permanent 45W, but in the lower 80s instead of 95 degree for "poor" 3,6GHz. I really hate that somehow these notebook CPUs have such a small die, heat dispersion is pretty fked up like this. most stock notebook i7s should be fixed at maximum 25W with proper undervolts instead of pushing them for some 100Mhz to 45W and in thermal throttling, ending up with even less performance or in the case of gaming with annoying framedrops due throttling. I think maximum about 85 degrees is pretty ok, as soon i hit the 90s, i will reapply LM and be happy once more for a while instead of getting annoying by thermal throttling. I realized already, its also a downside to have to slimmest RTX 2080 notebook on the market with a "full size" 150W version of the GPU. Only the noise can be pretty annoying and somehow you cant configure the TDP on the mobile RTX cards, at least on mine. I really would love to cut the GPUs TDP down to 100-120W, would make the notebook MUCH quieter and performance would be still pretty nice. the 190W Vbios is mostly used for 1440p or 4K gaming on the TV, gives me also something between 5-10% fps boost, especially "needed" in 4K. The 190W Vbios was anyways the main reason to apply LM, i was also fine with the CPU manually limited to 3,8GHz with undervolt, kept the temps "low" and noise level was some sort of ok. But with LM.... damn, full performance and the same noise level as with undervolted and underclocked CPU.
@harrison00xXx3 жыл бұрын
@@TechnologyHive I mean, could LM "destroy" the heatsink? its truly a copper heatsink, never though about this especially since it was recommended for the 190W Bios on the exact same model as mine and the much better thermals are some kind of "needed" and many people use LM on this exact machine. the MX4 was my first try - it was ofc a improvement, but far from enough to hold temps down on the CPU. I even tried it once with pretty much nothing of thermal paste, was the better result and then with slightly more which were already worse than stock. More pressure on the heatsink mounting/CPU die isnt a solution, i dont want to break my CPU.

This was a great video and really helpful! Although I would agree that you should spread the paste to make sure the CPU/GPU is 100% covered, I have heard that you can get small air gaps in between, and so it isn't always the best. What you can do, however, is do the spreading method AND THEN put a small dot of paste on top, which will prevent air gaps. What's your opinion on this?
@TechnologyHive2 жыл бұрын
This has been tested over and over. Turns out to be a myth. No you don't have to worry about "air pockets" as all metals expand when heated, and as pressure is applied down over the ihs from the heatsink, a spread of thermal compound will also spread out, pushing any voids of air out with it. It's not like when you go and put a plastic film over your phone's screen to protect it from scratches, and air pockets are most of the time present and you have to squeeze them out. These are not the same materials or elements. In the end it all boils down to what really works in keeping things in check. If the dot method works for you, great! Has it worked for me always? Nope. Has the spread method work for me always? No, but it was my fault for not installing the heatsink correctly. Other than that, the spread method works best and it ensures you have covered all corners with thermal paste. This is just my experience on this topic.

If you don’t spread the paste thin, it will still compress exactly the same as any other method. So technically, covering it evenly with a tool, and letting the force finish the job is the best way. Pea size blob or X has no benefit as it will always miss spots, and not once will it compete thermally with covering the whole die. Thermals aren’t better so it makes no sense

@@hphp7587 I currently use NT-H2 on my laptop! It’s a Samsung Odyssey with a GTX 1650. Seems to be good so far, I think it’s been a month since the repaste. What issues are you experiencing?

@@satsumagt5284 when freshly applied temps are 75ish. As time goes temps reach upto 90 which is when i replace. Actually when i open to repaste there is barely any paste left in the center of the die. 1 month is less. Please tell me after 6 months if it's stable. I really don't like opening and repasting because I could cause more damage. Its not that i dont have time or i am tooo lazy.

@@hphp7587 That’s interesting. Are you also using the NT-H2 and not the NT-H1? The effect you’re describing is known as pump-out, I believe. The previous paste (cheap stuff the service center put on) had pumped out VERY BADLY on my machine, to the point where there was basically nothing covering up the die. That MF would throttle at 23W without Beast Mode. What affects my temps the most currently, is ambient temperature. Under 20 (close to 16) is where it shines. If I run XTU2 with a cold heatsink and Beast Mode on, it never reaches throttle temperature if ambient temperature is good. But heatsoak on heatsink is real, therefore longer gaming sessions are… Quite hot.

You're not getting it are you. To put it in some way you might understand, MT-H2 is like long life oil.😎🤓

NT-H2 might be a great thermal paste, but it has not been around long to say it's like "long life oil". BTW, there is no such thing as long life oil. That's just a marketing scheme. No matter what they claim, you should change your oil as recommended by the vehicle's manual. To put it in some way you might understand, oils are mostly synthetic nowadays or man-made, and are a mix of detergents and other chemicals like PTFE and molybdenum. These do breakdown in time, depending on usage. The best way to keep your engine running clean and well lubricated is to regularly change your oil, no matter the type, according to the vehicle's users manual. I hope you get it.

@@TechnologyHive WRONG.Long Life oil is a high grade, fully synthetic oil with increased resistance to ageing at high temperatures best used in in highly stressed engines, utility stuff etc....idiots when they hear "long life" the imediatly think many miles....how many miles you drive doesn't matter, it matters how much you stress the engine so there IS such a thing as long life oil.
