What's the story

samples were given to TPU members by their CEO. Samples damaged CPU's (scratched off serial numbers, for example) voiding warranties.

CEO went on ridiculous rampage, getting forensics to determine TPU was full of liars and frauds (these images were not taken on a camera! they were hosted in altered formats on some weird unknown website called techpowerup.org!) and then totally lost it with some comments about digging up peoples dead, buried grandmothers.

Shit got very weird, very fast. Guys a patent/legal troll. Any comments or links on their facebook page got everyone banned. Unsure if he's still related to the business.

Here's the part involving dead grandmother:

"Just because you dig up your dead grandmother put a couple of bullets in her and post her bullet ridden corpse on a forum as proof I killed her does not mean that's what happened.
Some conditions do apply to "evidence"

I saw good results posted. I also saw that it caused like imperfections that really didn't cause performance issues. I will still give it a shot though since it was offered.

I've been using IC Diamond for about 10 years and never once had any issues.

I remember that whole go around, though. It was pretty bad sh!t!

Mussels · Sep 15, 2016

I'm not saying the results of the paste are not bad - it was more of a warning that there is negative bias towards it on TPU, and that it can/will cause cosmetic damage.

Personally i'm all over the metallic thermal pastes like CLU/conductonaut these days.

So your for using liquid metal TIM or you've moved on to something else? Yesterday I interpreted as you were done with liquid metal TIM.

english is a fun language with regional differences. I like metallic TIM, and continue to use it.
I'm all over it like vegemite on toast. (see, that ones gunna hurt your brain even more)

biffzinker · Sep 15, 2016

Thanks for the clarification Mussels. I seen Vegemite up here in one of the specialty grocery stores for sale.

its disgusting, and not very good to use as a TIM.

Dan's Data - Thermal transfer compound comparison (includes Vegemite)
From the thermal goop comparison:

It tastes as good as it looks, folks!

Buy some today!

Nope, still not trying it, sorry Mussels.

dorsetknob · Sep 16, 2016

have you considered the Original Marmite works right way up unlike vegimite which you use upside down

Unsure how to answer, hmm... no thank you, I'll still skip out on trying the Original Marmite.

I did look it up dorsetknob so I do know the Marmite from Britain has a higher protein content compared to the product destined for New Zealand.

Found the problem

The indigo didn't spread at all

Honestly the details aren't clear enough to fully explain how to install when ulitizing blocks.

Persoanlly i will stick to normal TIM

You didn't reflow it properly. You're not supposed to run any cooling until it gets up to temperature! That means turn off all your cooling. Temps will spike to 90c or more, give it a moment, then at that point you can turn the pump and fans back on. Only once the temp reaches 90c or higher has it reflowed.

Thanks for the care package from Stinger

I got some IC Diamond to play around with

Yes.

That's the rub. Given the past interactions, it is hard to believe there'd be any sort of innovation going on there. I won't relate my full story, but that's the one and only product I'd choose to not have a working PC instead of using.
