You remind me a bit of myself at that age, except I never did apply thermal paste. Truth be told, it's the one thing I still can't do very well, but hopefully the pea method will serve me well enough. I'm sure you already know to use isopropyl alcohol to wipe the surface clean next time. I just have one question: how on earth can you afford to make these PC builds? Now I'm working I can finally finance myself in what is, let's be honest, an absurdly expensive - though not unrewarding hobby!
If you are not satisfied with you work; remove this video. Do another video that show the correct way to apply thermal paste. Wish I were your age; have a great time. Education and hands on.
This will work but its not the best way to do it, you are supposed to clean both the cpu and heatsink with isopropyl/denatured Alcohol to remove all of the old thermal paste and apply an amount of thermal paste similar in size to a grain of rice to the top of the cpu and let the cooler spread the paste when it is secured, other wise you will be left with air bubbles in the thermal paste and that will cause higher temps.
I always thought that the least amount was the best. Now everyone is saying that it doesn't matter.. What i do is just put a tiny dot of it in the middle of the cpu, then take a piece of plastic wrap, and tighten that around my finger. Then use that to pull the thermal paste radially from the center all around it, If it's not even, then i just got back and forth. Never any over hang or anything once you put the heatsink on. You shouldn't use q-tips because of the cotto. Use coffee filters.
You can use a 5 lb. blob of arctic if you want, as long as it doesn't block the air to the heat sink, it doesn't matter if you use 'what people think is too much!', even if it is smeared all over the inside of your case, on your circuit boards, or where ever... it doesn't matter. UNLESS of course, appearance matters, then it does.
The amount doesn't matter, except if scoring neatness. The worst thing to do is create air-bubbles and then press that air-bubble filled paste in-between two plates. The air-bubbles will stay there and the micro-volumes with resonate with heat, until the pressure causes the hardening paste next to the bubbles to crack, then the paste is useless. Also, those bubbles in traveling laptops are affected by altitude pressure changes and will crack the the old paste up. Smooth, and slow... !
Clean both surface with alcohol and dust free ____. Put a dap on both surfaces and using a razor blade smooth each one so that it is a thin layer and very smooth across the entire surface of each. Then put a single small pea sized dap in the middle of one and very lightly smooth it just a little so that the rough parts that would craddle air are even. Line up the heat sink and the chip, but don't put them together yet, put the screws or____ in place and lower together... then tighten evenly.
1. Do not pull your cpu cooler straight out because the thermal compund can stuck your heatsink to your cpu, this might cause the cpu to come with the cooler when you pull it out and its pins might get bent.
2. Use alcohol to clean the cpu, otherwise you will have a lot of thermal compund left. As long as you don´t use too mouch it´s ok!
Also, don´t take me the wrong way now! When i was at your age i didn´t even know what thermal compound was ;)
@mr4wkw4rd Number 1 happened to me precisely. Only 2 pins on the outside were bent and easily fixed with some jewellers tools however. Now, though, i tend to remove my cooler with a little twist as well.
@mr4wkw4rd Oh, please don't tell them that! Any kind of chemical is VERY risky to use as even the smallest drip can have a corrosive effect on the CPU and cause it to die.
@Sharpeye2013 Yes, of course it can. You just have to take like one drip on a napkin, that is enough. If you use the method he used it wont get cleaned properly... and then it is no use in getting new thermal grease. Thy even sell special alcohol for doing this.
My parents don't buy me expensive ass computers I worked my ass off to buy mine and I still have a CRT monitor because I blew it all on the computer. That kids got it easy
Good job, not perfect but good enough! When i was your age i didn't even know what a computer looks inside, let alone do work on it so i think you are on the right track, everybody has to start somewhere and perfect along the way, no one is born smart! So pls don't mind all those bad comments from people that i bet don't even know how to properly apply paste themselves! Keep up the good work!
@hor1k I know how to propperly aply it.. but i also see that this is a way that works.. however ofcourse it is not the best.. but loads of people commenting here haven't even done it them selves i bet. but yeah... he is about the age when i started to upgrade ram... that was all i could do haha :P
While props to this kid for getting into computers at such a young age, Iv never seen anyone use q-tips to remove half the original compound. Next time use some sort of cloth man, save you tons of time and you get ALLL of it. To be honest, I probably couldnt have done this at his age. I was too busy partying to be a geek,
Give credit to this IT youngman because, how many of you have done similar thing at that age? Couple things 1) he unplugged all electricity (good) 2) he never used wrist strap for grounding 3) unsual he put compound on the heatsink not the CPU but it should make contact. 4) the camera man should stick to his video recording and not suggest what the IT guy is doing.
i took the cooler of my cpu one time to clean it and didn't clean the old paste off or put new on before i put back on and it still works fine and that was almost a year ago
He should have done a better job at cleaning the two surfaces, because the new compound won't do it job properly.
People go back to basic, both surfaces CPU and heatsync need to look like new out of the box. In order for the compound to work as it should. If you don't well kiss goodby cpu...
@lepompier132 Way to over react. Even if you dont apply any compound, we wont be kissing your CPU goodbye. Do you realize the amount of heat processors can endure? You realize they are made out of silicon right? Which can withstand up past 1400c. And the transistors can go up to 150c before sustaining damage. I dont think a whopping 10c difference between the compound working and it not is going to fry any processor.
@320bit I've seen CPU burned way before that temperature and trust me it's smell burning. Good thing it was'nt my PC. The guy was lucky, replace the CPu and the computer came back to life. So paste is important for proper heat transfer.
I remember in the era of the 386 and 486dx2, no paste was used under the heatsink, you could cook an egg on those CPU because they were running hot. That they began to use Paste with later generation of 486, 586 and so on.
@lepompier132 I guess you dont remember the 386/486 era too well, since neither of them used heatsinks AT ALL :) I had a dual 486 server. Processors in that time, did not require heatsinks as they were not running very fast and even with the high amount of voltage they ran, they did produce near as much heat as todays processors.
@320bit Yeah .... u r right actually they had a large fabrication die therefore then had more stronger metal contact's which helped them to operate on higher temperature's with less cooling need's
@lepompier132 Im pretty sure they didnt start using heatsinks until the 92 Pentiums showed up running like 75MHz, which was like twice the speed of previous processors.
also not how you take off a heatsink.... you need to undo clips, then gently twist it a bit then pull once you have broken contact from the cpu and heatsink.
terrible cleaning you've done there. you should clean your heatsink and cpu untill you receive the same mirror finish you had when you first bought the components. that was an incredebly half ass job. also you applied way too much compound. half that amount is still borderline too much. also your camera man is epic fail.you can use q-tips but alcohol is a must if you dont have compound remover. also using a creditcard is famous for creating airbubbles.respawn in 3...2...1..spawn camped.
Really liked this video. Was also quite impressed that you feel so confident with PC while being so young. Good luck in future, and ignore the flamers!
@TheGeekDistrict Uhh he doesn't even know how to properly remove thermal paste and you went with his knowledge using Qtips.... llllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllll
personally i think ur nuts just using the Q-tip, its probably good for removing the bulk of it as opposed to using 30 alcohol swabs but i always use isoprophil alcohol wipes "hospital grade" to clense all the leftover compound from the tiny crevasses, wait for the alcohol to evapourate then put a little dot of TIM in the centre of cpu, i find it spreads well enough when u reaply the cooler but if anyone sees a problem with my method please tell me
@kinga303 Qtips in Sweden are smaller and softer, does the job well. I cleaned my Mugen2 nicely with like 10 of em, and obviously some extreme alcohol. Looked brand new and shiny. Same applies to teh CPU.
These guys seem to have forgotten the CPU (it had grease on it!) and they had lots of spare grease left on the heatsink.
@TheGeekDistrict i was wondering what the temps were after this "surgery". i have tried this on a p4 and i went through 2 tubes and got no where. i have since started putting a dab in the center and found it to work much better. i also make sure it's clean with 91% alchahol. you don't what anything hindering the compound from moving heat. anything including iinperfections of surface can do that creating bubbles or even oil from finger tips.
@YoDaJedEye The fact that you paused the video just to find out those numbers, after he specified in the video that it was an old pre-paid credit card with nothing on it. Is rather pathetic.
plz type this in to youtube and watch this video,Installing Thermal Compound (NCIX Tech Tips #11) to see the right way to apply thermal paste and next time do alot more research before you try pc maintenance or upgrades.if you ever need help or have a question just leave me a comment i have been doing this for 5 years now.
@Mcnoulty11385 so your the thermal compound guy huh? well linux got all of it right except his application amount a so called "grain of uncooked rice." yeah really maybe for an consumers pc.
@Mcnoulty11385 thats the same video i reference dont worry, im just debating people that scrimp there is no method except clean and put an blob the same size as an xbox button in the center. no spreading with an credit card or any of that bullshit. sorry if i offended you i didnt mean it directly.
@LIVEREALFOOLED lol im not offended i was just trying to show why the "grain of uncooked rice" method is the best there was no air bubbles and it spread more evenly then the other methods.Thermal Paste is only to fill in the imperfections on your cpu cover and heatsink so you dont need alot and you only need it in center where the cores are not the whole chip so it can over flow all over the cpu socket.lol most noobs build pc's and use half a tube of past that has 10 application's like this kid.
Tip: the whole point of a thermal compound is to fill in the hair bubbles between the Heat Sink (HS) and the CPU surface. You you gatta make sure both surfaces are sparkling clean before you apply the compound, otherwise it kills the purpose.
in 20 years I have never seen even the worst re pasting close to this he did say alcohol swabs so he would of been right the camera man knows nothing the kid has good demo skills
the only reason people disliked this video is cause your prolly 2x younger then everybody watching this video and your computer is shitin on theres lol
@TheGeekDistrict im not being nasty like the rest but i think whoever the person was which suggested you used earbuds lol to clean the grease was probably holding you back because there wasnt any alcohol rub.
next time use some aftershave or perfume and some toilet paper if you dont have any alcohol rub whoever suggested you improvised with q tips needs to fix up nobody's that thick.
I couldn't find the CPU so I bought 12 tubes of MX3 and smothered it all over the motherboard. I then took 150ml of alcohol and poured it over the motherboard and slightly shook it to evenly spread it. I used a hairdryer to dry it all. I now get 10 to 15 degrees less than before.
Comments below me -> this kid is more mature than you were at 20. Most people wait till late high school or college to learn PCs. This kid will be your boss someday.
your method fail,first you need to clean off the old paste completly with rubbing alcohol and paper tower, second you applied way too much of it (rice grain size) not half the tube and dont spread it yourself. and third apply the paste on the cpu not the cooler and clean the cpu from the old paste too with rubbing alcohol...
tnx little kid

HA HA HA HA On a side note kid, you should probably start taking your computers to a professional. One who doesn't show credit card numbers on video.

@TheGeekDistrict i was wondering what the temps were after this "surgery". i have tried this on a p4 and i went through 2 tubes and got no where. i have since started putting a dab in the center and found it to work much better. i also make sure it's clean with 91% alchahol. you don't what anything hindering the compound from moving heat. anything including iinperfections of surface can do that creating bubbles or even oil from finger tips.

Actually it says 06/14 and its not a credit card it looks like a gift card judging by the $25 on the top right of it.

@YoDaJedEye The fact that you paused the video just to find out those numbers, after he specified in the video that it was an old pre-paid credit card with nothing on it. Is rather pathetic.

@Mcnoulty11385 so your the thermal compound guy huh? well linux got all of it right except his application amount a so called "grain of uncooked rice." yeah really maybe for an consumers pc.

@LIVEREALFOOLED Look up the video "how cpu past spreads" then you tell me.
Mcnoulty11385 3 months ago
@Mcnoulty11385 thats the same video i reference dont worry, im just debating people that scrimp there is no method except clean and put an blob the same size as an xbox button in the center. no spreading with an credit card or any of that bullshit. sorry if i offended you i didnt mean it directly.
LIVEREALFOOLED 3 months ago
@LIVEREALFOOLED lol im not offended i was just trying to show why the "grain of uncooked rice" method is the best there was no air bubbles and it spread more evenly then the other methods.Thermal Paste is only to fill in the imperfections on your cpu cover and heatsink so you dont need alot and you only need it in center where the cores are not the whole chip so it can over flow all over the cpu socket.lol most noobs build pc's and use half a tube of past that has 10 application's like this kid.

@TheGeekDistrict LOL! Good Point :)
Tip: the whole point of a thermal compound is to fill in the hair bubbles between the Heat Sink (HS) and the CPU surface. You you gatta make sure both surfaces are sparkling clean before you apply the compound, otherwise it kills the purpose.

really... He does not clean off the thermal paste propperly.. He touches the cooler and spreads the thermal grease resulting in air bubbles..

might as well just take the fucking CPU out and put the thermal paste in the socket, probably works better

@SqueeksoAo That's where the CPU pins are. It'll kill your processor and damage your motherboard.

@TheGeekDistrict Nah it's more effective than this video tbh
SqueeksoAo 4 months ago
@TheGeekDistrict Quite simply, you used too much, you created air-bubbles, and you should never apply it to your cpu cooler.

@TheGeekDistrict im not being nasty like the rest but i think whoever the person was which suggested you used earbuds lol to clean the grease was probably holding you back because there wasnt any alcohol rub.
next time use some aftershave or perfume and some toilet paper if you dont have any alcohol rub whoever suggested you improvised with q tips needs to fix up nobody's that thick.

NEVER touch the heatsink copper with your fingers! You just contaminated it and it will need to be redone.

I couldn't find the CPU so I bought 12 tubes of MX3 and smothered it all over the motherboard. I then took 150ml of alcohol and poured it over the motherboard and slightly shook it to evenly spread it. I used a hairdryer to dry it all. I now get 10 to 15 degrees less than before.

your method fail,first you need to clean off the old paste completly with rubbing alcohol and paper tower, second you applied way too much of it (rice grain size) not half the tube and dont spread it yourself. and third apply the paste on the cpu not the cooler and clean the cpu from the old paste too with rubbing alcohol...
