Thermal paste applied on your GPU / CPU, survey!

[peche]

I was a die hard Arctic Silver 5 user a long time ago but transitioned over to MX-4 and stayed with it every since.

i still have 2 friends that close their eyes to this kind of comments, i guess they will never change their minds....
i do use and trust arctic cleaner... but the paste is not with me again .. still have customers that asks for it on every repaste or new computer... so still have a tube somewhere in my toolbox...

@GreiverBlade dude you know that my mind is pretty complicated but thanks for the moemry refresh! also a friend in Canada toldme about this products... also he cames back here in a couple of months he might bring a tube, i asked for, i just wanted to give a try on my delidded chip and also video card.

Well, now it has Liquid Ultra on both sides of the IHS too bad tho I have only stock cooler atm, since I sold my AIO to my buddy, but still 4.7GHz is not a problem Too bad this won't go @ 5GHz even how high vcore I'll give to it..

wow going beyond the limits, liquid metal on stock cooler?

My 20g MX4 tube is 60 percent full, so I see no new purchases on the horizon.

Hmmm, depends a bit of what I have at the time. Been using the crap out of Gelid Extreme on everything. Though, I do still have a tube of Arctic Silver 5 somewhere (though, darn was it a pain in the butt with getting a 2500K to come off its water block. Thing almost felt solder to the darn thing) and some other ones.

For now, yes at least there isn't anything to complain between the die and IHS anymore

What I read for LM here on this page http://overclocking.guide/thermal-p...-with-air-cooling-and-liquid-nitrogen-ln2/11/
that it should not be used in combination with aluminium coolers, which the stock cooler is?

same here, i guess i have 60%... also my stock of TIM is like:

CoolerMaster Ice fusion: 40grs flask, 55-60% left...

Spoiler: CoolerMaster Ice Fusion

Arctic Silver 5: 4.5Grs tube, 85% [used 2 times only,

Spoiler: Arctic Silver 5

Arctic Cooling MX4: 20Grs tube, i guess more than 60% left

I stick with AS5 for everything or I use ceramique I dont like the consistency of the other stuff the tx4 it is like clay almost

Another win for coollaboratory liquid Pro and Arctic Cooling MX4, achived a d temp drop of 10C on max temps and like 15C on min temps and idle this saturday on another delidded processor!

I try to keep up with current brands, new ones come out that are better. Just is what it is, evolution.

i was thinking almost the same, trusting Arctic Cooling and Coolermaster, but Thermal Grizzly offers great numbers...gotta try as soon as possible,

Absolutely, do try @peche !! It's the best TIM I've ever used!
I believe it is still the best after liquid metal.

thats something ill do this December when repaste my Video card and also CPU, its something i always do on December, Gonna make a try on that brand, on liquid metal and paste, but also im pretty confused, they have several models so i dunno which on is the high end apart from the liquid-metal.

From what I read about liquid metal is that it is not easy to use and VERY hard to clean.
Personally I would not use it and thats why I bought the second best which was Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

Never heard of that brand before, ty. I'll check that out. ^^

will be used on CPU die on my delidded chip, but thanks for the commentary,

so,
CONDUCTONAUT= Liquid metal
KRYONAUT=high perfomance sh*t
HYDRONAUT= also high perfomance sh*t
AERONAUT= entry level cr*p

MINUS PAD 8= thermal pads?






also the fact that it with an applicator or whatever you want to name it makes me think it better... product seems to be great,

Spoiler: applicator

After you applied Liquid you don't have to remove it for the rest of you CPUs life.

restrictions may apply, but it does not degrates over the time...

still stuck on cheap cooler master paste, i forgot the type
but since i lap my heatsink and all i do just medium tasks, it would be fine

Bought a tube of Arctic MX-4. My temperatures droped 3-4°C. I was using Coolink Chillaramic.

i still have a tube somewhere around...
but dont trust it anymore, also a couple of my customers are pretty loyal to that brand..

Ive sampled some "higher end" TIM'S , and my 2 favorites would likely be As, and phobya he grease.
Theyve always served me well, and both the latter and former keep my xeon sub 45c @100% load crunching for over 12 hours,and never climbs above that mark.

Regarding application, which i initially 4got , iis IMO/ime moot,as long as its done properly.
Single drop, x shape, spread, they all work equally well.

please dont lynch me
