what a jackass. everything you did is wrong. too much paste, and you used you frigging finger, the applied TIM is now more uneven than your mommas face. not to mention you made that TIM a party for air bubbles.
use a rice grain size in the middle and let the heatsink pressure flatten it out.
or... use masking tape to cover out the area in heatsink which contacts the CPU, and use a flat card (credit card) to spread the paste in a real thin layer, this way only he cracks get filled.
The best heat connection, by far, is metal on metal. However, the scratches on the CPU and heatsink are not touching anything. That's where thermal paste comes in.
Exit: Use as less paste as possible, just fill up the scratches. Make sure the pressure between the CPU and the heatsink is sufficient.
This video is on how to not apply thermal paste on the CPU. First, too much paste. The portion should be the size of a rice grain. Second, spread the paste evenly in both directions using an expired credit card (debt card is also fine). :)
OMG!! Yup, trapped air bubbles maximum. Phonon-phonon interaction in the tiny bubbles will cause local 'super heating' much higher and with less transfer then even if this guy had left off areas of coverage. This! is what happens when one has NO SCIENCE TRAINING, or in other words, is a 'geek', an aficionado who loves playing with technologies, but actually 'gets'... nothing!
Haha, I didn't read the comments before I watched the video and I saw the guy put the paste on the CPU then I saw the condom. I literally said "Is that a condom, why a fucking condom?!?!?!"
@thcrazyazin lol if you use a rubber that small, you have problems. i'm kidding ya but yeah this method wouold be a good way to make air pockets and over heat a chip. people have thse videos up and don't have a clue what they are doing. man i kid you not, i have cheapo radio shack stuff and my machine idles about 87f/30c ish (e4600). slightly higher on the pentium d (clocked higher) and slightly lower on the amd box (cool'n'quiet). all with stock coolers. i think i should make a video lol.
whats with the tiny penis bro? Seriously though, simply put paste along one side, spread over with a tiny bit of card....or centre and use heat sink as mentioned....none of this compound fingering
that bro just put a tiny condom on his finger and made love to the processor. HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS!? for real tho i call trolling on thermolab
Thermal Paste is only to fill any gaps/scratches/dips between the Block and IHS. Otherwise the TIM becomes a insulator causing poor heat transfer between block and IHS.
Definatly a very stupid way to apply TIM, way too much and you'll get tons of air bubbles.
@mengele001 man I searrch for videos on HOW to put thermal grease on a cpu. I learned how to apply it (little quantity). Now the question. Is there a need to SPREAD the thermal grease or let it on the center? If you know the answer let me know, thanks. (oh and what do you mean by saying "air bubbles under the cooler" ?)
You must wel know something about it beceause there is now sound.But with what you must spread the overheatproduct attantion it's now condome that's what many people thinks first but for me it's very good. Something else from my apotheke.
This spread method causes air bubbles between the cpu and heatsink surfaces so you will have not good results. Also applying to much thermal grease making the things worst than better...
Best way to apply thermal grease (full control of what ur doing)!
With other (drop) techniques u never know if ur using to much or to little. Also with the drop technique u have to put the cooler on in a fluent motion (not easy with big coolers).
Also the vid with plexiglass is BS, when it comes to the spread method he bends the glass letting a lot of air in (should have used real glass).
hi can someone tell me i just took apart my laptop and it back together now and running fine but i replaced the old crusty thermal stuff in between the heat sink and the cpu with arctic silver 5 and there was a very light green pad of thermal Greece i think its called on another platform on the heat sink to the right of the cpu platform i replaced that with arctic silver 5 too and i was wondering was i supposed to do that???? please someone help
@Andymanse8 let the heatstink spread it. if you spread then put your heatstink on there will be air bubbles in the thermal paste and it will trap heat.
@Andymanse8 yeah i just found out about it and half these videos that say to spread the thermal grease are thumbed down and theres videos that show examples by using a clear plate to press down on the grease to show that theres air bubbles D:
@WertzOne no, try it then say... first i accidently remove it then my gpu temp reach at 102C during game load.. then i did not found any thermal grease from shop.. at last i use colgate tooth paste and it restore my temp at 45C.. which was 50C when i buy this card... at this time also my gpu working with tooth paste.. try it i am serious..
How long since then? because i once let a tooth paste opened for like 2 weeks and it turned solid like plaster, maybe that's a temporary fix, but i will never trust the safety of my CPU/GPU to tooth paste unless i just need to finish something really important as a temporary fix.
@OdomMbenga If the contact surfaces of the CPU and the cooler would be perfect planes that sit perfectly one on another, you wouldn't need paste. In fact, paste would actually hinder thermal transfer. But, since there is no "perfect" in real life, the cooler doesn't make perfect contact with the CPU, leaving air gaps. The thermal paste is far more conductive (thermally speaking) than air, so it helps heat transfer form the CPU to the cooler.
I know someone has said this before but it needs backing up. I found that spreading it out does create air bubbles and it can fry a CPU in no time. The best method is a small bead or line in the middle. The best way to go is with a silver-based compound. If you're buying a new CPU and it comes with a fan and heatsink, just use what they put on there. It's usually high grade silver-compound. For overclockers, doesn't matter, your CPU will have a short life no matter what you do.
To spread or not to spread that is the question,, It all depends on the thermal compound your using, the thick ones like TX-3 need spreading wile AS-5 spreads fine by its self. I personally would not be going for the Asian condom method, it wouldn't be a even coat. It would have been good to see him press glass to see the effectiveness of his technique.
Applying with your finger is a bad idea. a) You're never going to get consistent thickness of the paste when your jittery finger wrist arm is controlling the pressure. b) Your going to introduce a ton of roughness in the paste which will turn into air pockets when you put the heatsink on.
100% RIGHT METHOD,SOME IDIOTS SAY JUST APPLY PASTE AND PUT HEAT SINK,IT WILL SPREAD EVENLY BY IT SELF,THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG,THERE IS THE ONLY SILICONE TYPE PASTE WHICH CAN BE SPREAD OUT EASILY BY PUTTING THE HEAT SINK OTHERWISE THE REST OF THE PASTES STAY IN THE CENTER, SO WOT ABOUT THE CORNERS,
@themassau the very tiny bit of improved thermal connectivity gained by having TIM at the corners is lost heavily by the fact that this will create lots and lots of air bubbles.
And if you didnt know, air is absolutely horrific as a thermal transporter.
@Xyllianos k but i still think we need an other way to conduct the heat from he heat spreader to the cooler. they have a new idea for servers they make very small holes in the heat-spreader and make it thiker so you could use it for h2o cooing but right trough the heat-spreader. i do not think there is any safer way to cool the cpu a good breakthrough would be carbon chips that could operate stable above 100c° so you could cool by evaporating water
@themassau there are already pressurized vapor-chamber coolers, they are used heavily in video card cooling already. Heat is really not an issue nor is cooling it, power consumpion is what i would like to see go down, something that would have the side effect of being cooler as well.
@Xyllianos k yea but the problem for the performance is the heat. if your tbp is to high you will need a better cooler (fans like on grafics cards the loud monsters) but there is a limit whit air cooling so the next step will be h2o cooling. but you can cool more efficient if your temperature is higher above ambient. so preformance limit is tbp and silicon because silicon isn't good at high frequencies and maybe the real thing is what holding us is the architecture we need a new instruction set
@themassau thats true, ARM is running circles around x86-64 with the same computing power. As of watercooling, heatpipes and vapor chambers already use water as the medium for transporting heat.
@Xyllianos but not vaporise it to cool it and i think ibm's power architecture is better than ARM just doesn't work for high power yet some analyst say that it will be as power hunger as an x86-64 cpu if it is equal powered (server ships).and still no support for 64bit. maybe we just need to go to 128bit
@spiez777 i don't know about that buddy. i might be an idiot in your eyes but i have had much better luck with the dab in the center method. i don't know how you are doing it. you would have to almost have a machine to make a perfect layer on the surface (like a preapplied pad). i have tried and tried again just to trap air. without a perfectly flat coat of paste you will trap air. the dab method seems to work better for me. this has just been my experience though.
actually dont spread it liek you did, it will form loads of airbubbles down there between wich is kinda bad, what i find the best method to be is just to put a little pea on the center of the thermal compound..
You should just put a dot of paste in the middle, and then put on the cooler and let the pressure from it spread the paste. If you spread the paste yourself and then mount the cooler, you will get plenty of air-bubbles = bad cooling.
spreading and apply the cooler will trap air bubbles. better put pea size at the middle and squish it using the cooler (and don't remove and reapply cooler). some people use glass to squish the compound in other to so called "check" the spread. once you remove the glass and apply the cooler, it will also trap air bubbles (bad method)
I find that the spread method works better if your heatsink or cpu base is not totally flat. I've used the dot/grain method and when I lift up my heatsink I find that the sides and edges have little/no contact with the thermal paste.
@Intranetusa Spreading the thermal paste will cause air bubbles under the heatsink when pressure is applied, the entire CPU does not need to be covered because most of the heat is generated at the centre of the CPU, a silicon based thermal compound will spread alot easier than a silverbased one, i would rather have les contact with no bubbles that all contact with bubbles.. also if you are worries because your CPU isnt flat.. then try Laping it.
The air bubbles from spreading are quite small - far smaller than the surface area that would not come into contact with the heat sink if the grain method is used.
It is true that the center of the cpu is hotter, but the entire surface of the CPU is metal and would transfer heat quite well. I think having overall more surface area contact with the heat sink is better than having better center contact but having significantly less overall surface area contact...testing is needed.
@garithian You do realize the entire surface does not need to be covered, right? Also the die is small enough that the patter you use has no effect from single to quad core. There are only a couple X factors in that. The really large chips like the Xeons and 990/980X. Any thing less than that will cool better with a small dot in the center. Less is more with thermal compound.
@garithian so just a dot? how does that even work? its either have a tiny bit of thermal grease to cool down your cpu or cover the whole thing to cool down your cpu.

Every time he pushes the paste around he's creating more air bubbles.
The little finger condom he's using could have a powdery substance on it.
The rubber could degrade from the paste.
When applying thermal paste less is more. The thickness should be like a piece of plastic wrap achieved by mounting the heat sink.
The more contact between metals of CPU & heat sink the better. Remember, less is more.

How Thermal Compound Spreads.flv
spiez777 11 months ago
100% RIGHT METHOD,SOME IDIOTS SAY JUST APPLY PASTE AND PUT HEAT SINK,IT WILL SPREAD EVENLY BY IT SELF,THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG,THERE IS THE ONLY SILICONE TYPE PASTE WHICH CAN BE SPREAD OUT EASILY BY PUTTING THE HEAT SINK OTHERWISE THE REST OF THE PASTES STAY IN THE CENTER, SO WOT ABOUT THE CORNERS,
spiez777 11 months ago
@spiez777 What about the corners? There is no chip under the corners smartass. Why do you need to cool it when there is nothing there huh?
Xyllianos 11 months ago
@Xyllianos because the heat spreader spreads the heat and if there is also contact to the heat sinks than it might make a small difference
themassau 10 months ago
@themassau the very tiny bit of improved thermal connectivity gained by having TIM at the corners is lost heavily by the fact that this will create lots and lots of air bubbles.
And if you didnt know, air is absolutely horrific as a thermal transporter.
Xyllianos 10 months ago
@Xyllianos k but i still think we need an other way to conduct the heat from he heat spreader to the cooler. they have a new idea for servers they make very small holes in the heat-spreader and make it thiker so you could use it for h2o cooing but right trough the heat-spreader. i do not think there is any safer way to cool the cpu a good breakthrough would be carbon chips that could operate stable above 100c° so you could cool by evaporating water
themassau 10 months ago
@themassau there are already pressurized vapor-chamber coolers, they are used heavily in video card cooling already. Heat is really not an issue nor is cooling it, power consumpion is what i would like to see go down, something that would have the side effect of being cooler as well.
Xyllianos 10 months ago
@Xyllianos k yea but the problem for the performance is the heat. if your tbp is to high you will need a better cooler (fans like on grafics cards the loud monsters) but there is a limit whit air cooling so the next step will be h2o cooling. but you can cool more efficient if your temperature is higher above ambient. so preformance limit is tbp and silicon because silicon isn't good at high frequencies and maybe the real thing is what holding us is the architecture we need a new instruction set
themassau 10 months ago
@themassau thats true, ARM is running circles around x86-64 with the same computing power. As of watercooling, heatpipes and vapor chambers already use water as the medium for transporting heat.
Xyllianos 10 months ago
@Xyllianos but not vaporise it to cool it and i think ibm's power architecture is better than ARM just doesn't work for high power yet some analyst say that it will be as power hunger as an x86-64 cpu if it is equal powered (server ships).and still no support for 64bit. maybe we just need to go to 128bit
themassau 10 months ago
@spiez777 i don't know about that buddy. i might be an idiot in your eyes but i have had much better luck with the dab in the center method. i don't know how you are doing it. you would have to almost have a machine to make a perfect layer on the surface (like a preapplied pad). i have tried and tried again just to trap air. without a perfectly flat coat of paste you will trap air. the dab method seems to work better for me. this has just been my experience though.

@arfer You could use this much grease but you have to scrape off the surface with a flat blade or credit card. Still a waste so I agree.

jm3keru 1 year ago
actually dont spread it liek you did, it will form loads of airbubbles down there between wich is kinda bad, what i find the best method to be is just to put a little pea on the center of the thermal compound..

Whats the point of putting it in an X if you are going to spread it? BTW, its a terrible idea to spread it. It will end up with air bubbles.
HDaviator 1 year ago
I never put thermal paste on a cpu before but even I know thats way to much unless your making a sandwich.
yin222 1 year ago
You should just put a dot of paste in the middle, and then put on the cooler and let the pressure from it spread the paste. If you spread the paste yourself and then mount the cooler, you will get plenty of air-bubbles = bad cooling.
devrerffs 1 year ago
when u put on the cpu now u will get air bubbles
TheTurtlePawner 1 year ago
spreading and apply the cooler will trap air bubbles. better put pea size at the middle and squish it using the cooler (and don't remove and reapply cooler). some people use glass to squish the compound in other to so called "check" the spread. once you remove the glass and apply the cooler, it will also trap air bubbles (bad method)

Hexi core, use the X method DONT SPREAD!!!
Quad core, use the X method DONT SPREAD!!!
Dual core, use the line method DONT STRED!!!
Single core, Dot is fine DONT SPREAD
spreading the thermal grease creates air bubbles under the heat sink, and air traps alot of heat.

Phenom69ll 11 months ago
@Phenom69ll I mean by the way its done in the video, just dont spread, when you apply the heatsink it will spread evenly by itself.
garithian 11 months ago
@garithian
I find that the spread method works better if your heatsink or cpu base is not totally flat. I've used the dot/grain method and when I lift up my heatsink I find that the sides and edges have little/no contact with the thermal paste.
Intranetusa 9 months ago 3
@Intranetusa Spreading the thermal paste will cause air bubbles under the heatsink when pressure is applied, the entire CPU does not need to be covered because most of the heat is generated at the centre of the CPU, a silicon based thermal compound will spread alot easier than a silverbased one, i would rather have les contact with no bubbles that all contact with bubbles.. also if you are worries because your CPU isnt flat.. then try Laping it.
garithian 9 months ago
@garithian
The air bubbles from spreading are quite small - far smaller than the surface area that would not come into contact with the heat sink if the grain method is used.
It is true that the center of the cpu is hotter, but the entire surface of the CPU is metal and would transfer heat quite well. I think having overall more surface area contact with the heat sink is better than having better center contact but having significantly less overall surface area contact...testing is needed.
Intranetusa 9 months ago
@garithian You could also use the double line method :)
Halomaster1211 9 months ago
@garithian You do realize the entire surface does not need to be covered, right? Also the die is small enough that the patter you use has no effect from single to quad core. There are only a couple X factors in that. The really large chips like the Xeons and 990/980X. Any thing less than that will cool better with a small dot in the center. Less is more with thermal compound.
cbremer83 7 months ago
@garithian so just a dot? how does that even work? its either have a tiny bit of thermal grease to cool down your cpu or cover the whole thing to cool down your cpu.
