Bought expensive thermal paste

The expensive stuff is actually human cum, FYI

Liquid metal clearly fucking states do not use with copper heatsinks.
Retard thinks buying most expensive is best. Retard can't read/follow instructions.

Thermal grizzly is best. Everyone not using extreme CPUs use the paste brand that comes with your cooler. Everyone replace your paste every 2 years cleaning gently with coffee filters and 99% alcohol, and ensure that the sink is fully seated, not tilted. Don't rub the micron-thin finish nor coating off of your cooler. Perfect application is impossible. Ideal method is perfect manual spread or bubble free (impossible) X. Using too much paste will yield results as bad as using something not designed to be a TIM.

you mean aluminum, copper is fine
two years is overkill unless you're pushing tmax on a high end processor constantly
thermal grizzly is not the best; infact outside of the liquid metal memes the difference between pastes is miniscule at best

>thermal paste is the hardest part about building a PC
kek

it has the instructions most open to interpretation.
It's hardest in that sense. It's not like plugging in a keyed cable that can only be plugged into one socket one way.

Just cum on CPU, it will work for years.

Minuscule improvements are not no improvements therefore a minuscule improvement makes it the best at under 150 TDP.
You're right about aluminum not that I can be bothered to check. Aluminum is fascinating.

>thermal grizzly is not the best; infact outside of the liquid metal memes the difference between pastes is miniscule at best
True
I went to a local store looking for Arctic Silver 5 but they were out of it, all they had was a cheaper one. I took it a bit disgruntled but it worked just fine, with good temperatures even with a conservative (1.3V vcore) OC.

>not using your own cum

newfag

Mercury fucks it up

Who else here an /IC-Boi/? Been using this since I started building. Has the consistency of hardened plastic, but damn is it effective. CPU, GPU, your mother, don't matter.

You didn't spread it you fucking retard.

It's your own fault for essentially spreading gallium on your aluminium components.

Paste isn't meant to be spread but to be squeezed by the CPU. Spreading creates bubbles.

That's not paste, it's liquid metal.

so then what is the hardest ? putting things into sockets that only go one way ? way to out yourselves as tards.

They called it paste in the store.
Can I sue them now?

Probably as you are a fucking retard

Just be a normie and get a laptop. Building your pc in 2018 lmfao. For games you got consoles for communication large screen phones. For study tablets.

>it burned
How the fuck did you even accomplish that?

Dot, line and X will werk fine, with X being the best and dot the worst, there's plenty of testing on this issue out there
Now, thermal paste on naked dies is another issue altogether, some say covering the entire die is more important than the possibility of air bubbles, so spread is the best

GD900 and HY-810 is better and cheaper, ZP-360 is the cheapest in reasonable quantities and is good enough
A lot of "higher quality" compounds dry out within 6 months nowadays

>hardest part
Literally just put like half a pea down, then stick your finger in a plastic bag and use it to get a nice thin layer across whole cpu. Best results with easiest method. desu, if you're lazy just put a pea down and smash the heatsink down on top of it, it'll prob be good nuff,

Fuck, I vaguely remember some bloke on here doing just that...

>Can I sue them now?
Oh, you litigious americans.

>liquid metal
>didn't spread
I wonder why it fucked up.
youtu.be/qc7bCC1TmVg?t=214

Every thermal paste for the last 30 years spread itself under pressure. They want me to read fucking manuals on pastes now?

>liquid metal on aluminium
Spotted the LTT viewer.

I hate the guy in that picture so much

>Liquid Metal on aluminum
/thread

>thermal paste
But it isn't thermal paste.

I repair computers, and hence use a gigantic amount of thermal paste.

I use this OEM Y-500 tub of paste and have had no problems with it, sure it's not going to break any thermal records but it works on everything.

Did you even read the instructions?

Literally plop a rice-grain sized dot on it. Other application methods are within < 1C.

>There is no proven method
Other than at least one article on any bigger PC-related website and a truck-load of videos on YT, sure.

Just get a macbook and a game console, stay away from PCs.

No?
Because it said thermal paste on their store website.

More often than not, it does.

This is literally thermal cum as in intel CPUs.

my blood hurts reading this.

Then it's your own fault for being retarded and you won't win a lawsuit.

>liquid metal on aluminum
>didn't spread
>used shitload of it
>intel stock cooler
>didn't even read manual
>or even CLEAR WARNINGS
is it YLYL thread or something?

It's basically the same stuff you'll find on a brand new GPU. It does it's job, and I go through tubs of these things, better than buying expensive shit every other day.

How do they perform?

This.
Clear instructions on package
It isn't paste.

How much does it cost?

Spreading it out gives the best result, but is also the easiest to fuck up. Pea method gives a good enough result and doesn't cause air bubbles.

We get them for about $60~65 USD per 2kg (2000grams) tub.

That's what my CPU runs on without thermal paste.

I keep it in my bathroom next to the isopropyl.

This is not real, is it?
I refuse to believe

Yeah, but you do research first. Or pay someone to do it for you.

Hmm, it's goes bad relatively quick, doesn't it? I mean I don't use it that much so it would go bad fast for me.

you're new aren't you lol

Doesn't the first leave air bubbles?

OP probably brushes his teeth with Listerine thinking it's tooth paste.

About the same as MX-4, ZP-360 is a bit worse

He did nothing wrong to him but he did do wrong to his wife.

>needing a 2kg thermal paste

>puts liquid metal on a 1) aluminum 2) stock heatsink

nice meme my friend

I have always just used paper towels to clean old paste off.

Insert bait image...

liquid metal is an indium gallium alloy that corrodes metal

you are supposed to use the smallest amount possible and manually spread it, not apply it like normal thermal paste which you clearly did

>oh no i did it wrong, why is my computer fucked up now?

typical scenario when buying intlel

>There is no proven method and people have conflicting advice
This is God-tier.

When you work in a shop and go through a dozen or so repastings a day, yeah you would.

They got it in 3g 12g 40g 100g 2kg 30kg packaging.
It's made by Kyotoku, and they say it has a shelf life of up to 10 years.

will have to check em out thx

I just use a toothpaste tube of thermal grease my father took possession of from the navy in the 1990s and don't worry about it.

Fuck paste is expensive.

There is another one like this, anyone got it?
