Don't forget your yearly thermal paste change

I'm ready

I tried but I couldn't remove the fan

X shape for best spread

I simply use mayo with toothpaste, and to save time I just splurt it right on top of radiator and fan. Never had any problems. Just don't use expired mayo.

I bet you don't even new York style reload your mouse and keyboard.

SD Cards do not have the durability of a modern hard drive. They are not designed for constant reads/writes and will fail incredibly fast if you use it for that

What's thermal paste used for?

I legit don't know lol

small blob in the middle, spread by pressing the heatsink down

>Hard drive memory is a spook too, how the FUCK are we supposed to just accept a microSD card now can do a terabyte? Memory doesn't exist, it's just the storagejew seeing how far they can push it over the years.

Drives have faster read/write than SD cards.

What the fuck?
Just check your temps through software from time to time.

If you applied it correctly the first time you won't need to worry about it

you're supposed to use that? I just threw it out

Doesn't this mean consoles are fucked because they also rely heavily on their ssds?

Yes yes, I know that's the second level of the scam Mr jew, soon we'll be using tiny reloadable hard drives where you buy a ten pack of 5 petabyte wafers every day because it'll be so fast but """""wear out"""" after a few hours.

As much as you feel like your cpu temperature is too high in your gameplay

heating certain parts of the pc
it's why it's called thermal

You could show this to anyone who doesn't even know how to build a computer andt hey'd tell you something's wrong.

you replace the thermal paste? My cpu is still running at 60c under heavy load

It's like a toothpaste, but for pc.

SSDs are not SD cards you goober

literally only change it if you ever seperate your cpu cooler from the cpu.

>getting like 94 celsius minimum on cpu
Did you use mayo as thermal paste or something?

Its like a tiny undershirt for you cpu incase the blue LEDs make it too cold.

Think of it as a jam sandwich. Remember how many times you wanted the jam to be evenly spread only to have it leak and drip and smear your fingers when you put the two slices of bread together?

don't forget to apply your thermal paste properly for maximum efficiency

Please. My computer use this and I haven't change it in years.

Lol. bullshit. I have not changed the Artic Silver 5 paste on my 2500k since 2011. Running cold as a freezer 24/7 since then.

for filling in the micro voids CPU heat heat spreaders have.

I still can't believe it's a thing.

I forgot who did it, but they're a big PC company and made a "pro guide" and it's filled with things equally as baffling.

>pc are so weak some heat will ruin them
master race indeed

it's simple, all you do is paint a dot the size of planck's space on every single part of the cpu evenly, producing a perfectly flat layer that also can turn a circle inside out while duplicating it.

Clean your pc from micro dust and refresh your thermal past can do wonder.

i used whatever came with the intel i5 cpu cooler like 7 years ago. barely remember now, never glanced at it in that long until i noticed the crazy temp

Still gets me everytime

you rub it on your cpu and it creates the chemical reactions necessary to vaporize the water in your cpu, turning it into the steam that powers it

I'm still using a 970. Should I repaste it?

Uhhh... How has your PC not blown up yet?

Heat doesn't like going through air or vacuum, and when you press a heat sink onto a CPU, there'll be very small, fine deviations that leave little pockets. The paste fills in those gaps, allowing heat to pass from the CPU to the heat sink much easier.

>PCI Slot covers all removed

I learned this one firsthand after years of only using two of the six and now all the unused ones are dead. Yet another reason to get on a new build already I guess.

It's MSI, says it in the top left.

I once sprayed WD40 into a live computer case to help keep a GPU fan bearing loose as it was rattling too much.
I did this for two months with uh "no issue". People like this make me scream marginally less that I did this.

Is it going over 80c?

I just did mine in August!

this post is exactly what i thought about when entering this thread and i want to say that i appreciate your for being fp

hardly if ever. if your temps are running too hot then maybe consider it.

>clip

Funny thing, i had no idea that you apply thermal paste differently on direct pipe coolers with gaps than you do on flat base coolers.

>had 2600x, used pea method with pipe cooler
>used pea method
>temps around 60c load, seems fine
>get a 5600x
>put it in, pea
>turn it on, play
>temps hit fucking 68-75c and 80c+ on stress
>wtf
>google it
>turns out you need to spread paste on pipes and/or use lines method on every pipe, and also manually spread on cpu
>do that
>temps stabilize at like 58c max on load

Good stuff.

Well, if your computer ever just turns off and never turns back on one day you'll at least know why.

This shit damages the cold plate of the CPU, enjoy delapping

Is this the correct way to apply it?

Honestly if you didn't know about solder this whole bit with the PS3 smells like the time Zig Forums got people to microwave their phones. I don't know if this makes kids who did it dumber or kids who microwaved their phones less dumb. Possibly it is both.

>yearly
You don't need to do it that often, thermal paste is usually designed to last 5 years or more. I'll probably be getting a new CPU in that time.

for cleaning your cpu pins
like toothpaste cleaning teeth

give me another 5 years

I can't put them in a magazine games journalism is dead.

i tried dot and full thin spread method
x shape is actually the best

Should I reapply???

thermal paste reapplication is a meme,apply once,never again

when updating gpu drivers, do i need to do a clean install and uninstall the old ones first?

Considering it's not a real thing, how do you know it's not just a big PC that he shifts in with no mechanism? It could very well be a clip.

Ryzen temps are weird

no no something is terribly wrong here

Completely pointless now we've discovered you're supposed to fucking clip them down with scissors. Wish they'd told me that sooner.

-50c idle
why? shit cooler? should be 30-35

If this isn't bait you put too little on

lol

>check his twitter
>all the replies are about that video still

lmao

Built my first PC in march and it felt pretty good, no issues since but im not too technically minded can i upgrade this in 4-5 years or would i need to build a new PC from scratch?

Is the motherboard suitable for new GPU? will i need to replace my power supply? (new cards use more pin connectors or some shit and that will be the standard) etc.
This is pre rona prices pretty happy with performance.
