Thermal paste applied on your GPU / CPU, survey!

RejZoR · Sep 13, 2015

I'm sticking with Arctic Cooling MX-4 for years. It's relatively cheap, easy to apply, spread, correct and wipe off and seems to conduct heat well. I had MX-2 before and it was good as well. I also liked high end Akasa paste, but it was somewhat more pasty and harder to apply.

I'm using Coolink Chillaramic for my cpu and my gpu i have to say it's really easy to apply/clean off. I was thinking of buying Noctua NT-H1 just to try it against the Chillaramic. I realize that the NT-H1 is better but i want to see the difference in temperature.

thats excellent ...! do the change, let us know!

GreiverBlade said:
indeed good idea to see real life result, tho the Chillaramic is in the bottom of the chart ... can't hurt to get some NT-H1... or Hydronaut/Kryonaut if you can find some (better value and quantity tho) or some GC-Extreme

agreed, i would add as recomendation Arctic Cooling Mx4,

correct me if im wrong .... MX2 was harder to apply compared to MX4?

a friend come up with a couple of 1litter bottles, one of 97% isopropyl alcohol, the other one with ether...then i mixed them with 100% destiled water, make some custom Contact cleaner!

55% isopropyl alcohol
30% Ether
15% Destiled

ultra excellent for cleaning out old paste applications, clean some hardware, i have darkeness elixir for more than a year!

Yeah, MX-4 is slightly softer.

As for cleaning, stick with toilet paper/paper towels. It's soft enough not to damage surface and gritty enough to remove it all to a shiny surface. I've been doing it for years and it's perfect. Especially with IHS lids that are smooth so it doesn't even tear up when you wipe the surface.

I usually take CPU out of socket, place paper towel on desk and just grind the IHS on it. It always cleans it all down till surface is nicely shiny without any residue. No alcohol or special cleaning solutions. Nice and clean.

i had re-pasted my 8800gt once after 7 years of usage. was too afraid to take it apart, but now its cheap, the fun thing is it was only 4 screws lol

. My temperature was 50+ on idle with original, now its not even 50. saved about 5 degrees. for 8800gt this is very good temperature.
used nexus thermo paste.

GreiverBlade said:
nah ... NT-H1 is subpar ... but you are right about it being better than AS5 not hard ... that "king" is dethroned since almost 6years by the GC-extreme and was also under the MX-2 so no wonder the MX-4 was also better than AS5, tho the MX-4 to NT-H1 difference is minimal.

you're a gc-extreme user? i REALLY wanted that but couldnt find good price/stock

the other thing is, how long does it last?? GCE & MX4, do they last as long as AS5's years without any need to repaste?

thanks for the info ... havent used MX2 yet,
i do clean pretty weel IHS of my cpu's and also GPU die, always try to use any alcohol solution, is pretty simple, this new mix that i've just made works flawless!

have seen CPU's and GPU's with 2 / 3 years old Coolermaster, Arctic Silver and also Arctic Cooling MX series, performing pretty fine, also this is from Arctic Cooling website:

So, 8 years, meaning you'll very likely replace the component before it'll require re-applying. Or you'll simply fiddle with it in the meanwhile. I've had Core i7 920 for like 5 years and I've replaced like 3-4 coolers on it (stock, Scythe Shuriken, Thermalright low profile and later Antec 920 that I still use), sometimes same ones because I was changing orientation of low profile coolers and AiO.

I'd already be re-applying on 5820K with Antec 920 when I was fiddling with it, but I managed to add springs one by one without removing entire cooler so there was no need to reapply paste. And I have the new system for like few days lol

well, some brands offer that time as compromise of quality, paste would not degrade before that time, I don’t care about it, I change TIM on most of my devices every year and a half or depending of the use and abuse of the hardware

I've used Gelid Extreme, AS5, MX-4, and most recently bought Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I'm impressed enough with it, that I'll be using it from now on. I have a big tube on it's way. Should last quite a while.

LUCKY ONE! my etailer only stocked on Hydronaut ... they got a Kryonaut in stock but a 1.5ml not 3ml and also only 1 tube and they ended not re ordering the Hydro for "i don't know what reason"
as i said i am also impressed with the Hydronaut tho it's a sidegrade compared to my usual GC-Extreme ... i really hope they will stock the Kryo soon :laugh:

for a 1st attempt Thermal Grizzly got all good on a lot of point where other brands are uneven

tho i am glad another user has a good feedback

thanks @Vellinious :toast:

well if the user is not "me" and has no compulsory tinker syndrome ... it should last long enough
tho my MX-4 lasted more than 2 years on my C2D (a 3.8ghz E8500) build and the past was still "fresh" almost like news, GC-E i re-pasted some GPU with and used them for quite a long time without any issues

AS5 on the other hand ... i got a dried application after only a year ... but i probably got a bad tube, judging by other users experiences.

hat · Sep 15, 2015

I don't have money to be well stocked on my favorite TIM, so it varies depending on what I'm doing. I have a bunch of the infamous IC Diamond from back when they were handing out samples here on TPU, and I'll make use of that depending on what I'm using it for. I ran out of MX-2 recently, so the next order I make at Newegg I'll get some MX-4 along with it, but I'll still use IC Diamond where it makes sense for me to do so (to save wasting my MX-4 on something it won't really make an important difference with).

I might be interested in picking up some Coolaboratory Liquid Pro if I were delidding hot Haswell chips or something, but then again, maybe not. Since it reacts unfavorably with some materials I'm not sure how comfortable I would be having such a volatile material right on a prized CPU die like that.

that paste particular on every tube i got gets dried pretty sooooooon but still working without abysmal differences or variations on temps, i think is because its fabrication that it gets dried pretty fast... some people use to tint it with a little bit of mineral oil, i have hear that in other posts here... they claim absolute performance, im not pretty friendly with those "Frankie" recipes...

i dont like also arctic silver 5 despite that have used it,

well, a tube of arctic silver or arctic cooling mx series can be at $8 or $10 and can last for like years,
i do have coollab, coolermaster icefusion, arctic silver 5 and another cheap paste on stock .. they lasts pretty much when handled with the correct cautions....mostly keeping tube tightly closed.,

well ... any past that need special application method or tinting ... is no finished product, no matter how it perform.
and i've seen far from absolute performance in that past, either they use only that one or they are sold to it :laugh:

all the TIM is tested after my AS5 hype period (overhype i should say ...) were better than that, except for MX-4 who is on par (a tad superior tho) and doe not require tricks to make it work as it should

as I said before, that’s what somebody claims, for having extra performance, or getting better results, I do use and love Arctic MX4, but have other options, for customers…

Sure, I just ran out of MX-2 and I've had it for ages, back when it was new and everyone said it was the best (with the exception of possibly some exotic stuff available at the time). Now MX-4 has taken its place. But I just don't have money to order tubes of TIM on impulse. I'm waiting til I gather the money needed to get an HDD and a chromecast to start running Plex so I can just chuck in a tube of MX-4 along with it so the shipping doesn't hurt as bad.

excellent to know! i would like to test arctic mx2 to see it how it performs compared to MX4!

I think theyre about the the same. MX-4 was just a lot easier to spread.

hat · Sep 16, 2015

Not sure how much better it'll be with temps... probably within the margin of error. I figure it's just best to get MX-4 now instead of MX-2 since it's their latest version with some improvements.

R-T-B · Sep 16, 2015

I delidded my 6700k and put mx4 on it. Whatever Intel uses is piss poor. I got around 5c improvement! That's insane for a Tim to be that bad on a stock chip...

arctic on CPU die?
try with coollab on CPU Die,

@hat
I have heard about this legendary TIM pretty much ago, actually some people said that still better compared the new one but the complicated application makes the people to get MX4

just my two cents,

what di ya use on yours?

R-T-B · Sep 16, 2015

I would try the liquid metal, but it's already done and I don't fancy doing the process again. The sealant I used to reseal it in particular is nasty goop. Took me days to get the stuff off my skin.

hat · Sep 16, 2015

peche said:

Well, I don't have anything to delid, but if I did I would use the coollab stuff for core-IHS and then MX-4 for IHS-cooler. That coollab stuff is kinda volatile and can muck up cooler surfaces, harden up and make them hard to remove etc... but it shouldn't hurt the core or the IHS and that would be a sure fire one-time deal never to come off again so I'd be fine with that. I just couldn't imagine going as far as to delid a processor only to not put the best stuff possible on it. Kinda like filling up a Ferrari with cheap watered down gas from some crappy place.

did you sealed again your processor?
well thats kinda odd for me, i did my delid... with a razor blade and pretty patience, took me like 3 minutes or less, then i've cleaned out all the shit on Chip, last step was to properly clean CPU Die and apply Coollab on it... no sealant, just liquidmetal, then put the still naked processor on CPU socket tray and CPU IHS at the end, for avoiding it to move during CPU mounting and screw liquidmetal application,
when CPU Socket is tight CPU die wont move you are able to seat your CPU block

Thermal paste applied on your GPU / CPU, survey!

Did you always use the same TIM on your hardware?

Yes I do use the same one…Always!

No I don’t have any preferred or "trusted brand"

If I could I would! not always have stock of the same products!
