@Apple2134Gamer It really depends on the CPU. Many models of Xeon for example benefit more from the line method, the 6 core ones benefit more from the cross method as the cores are taking up more of the area beneath the heat spreader. Personally I spread it with a business card or something and clean any excess before putting the heatsink on. In the end a lot of it is personal preference, but sometimes a specific method for certain CPU's works better than others.
After cleaning surfaces of crud and dust, use a razor blade to spread a thin SMOOTH layer on BOTH surfaces, then place a small dab of compound on one surface and slowly bring the surfaces together and fasten the fastener or screws slowly. DO NOT CAUSE BUBBLES! Do everything smooth, and slow... to ensure a -solid paste- not one filled with air bubbles. The spring tension determines final thickness, less viscous means a thicker layer will solidify.
I heard that you shouldn't remove the casing between the heatsink and the processor, but i don't know if it's true, if you do this be carefull so you don't mess your processor upp.
I heard it from some stores and intel, but i might have missunderstood.
@eligri123 stores just dont wanna tell you its safe because they dont want you to risk it. it doesnt hurt the cpu because 1. its locked in to the socket and 2. its just the heatsink, made of copper or whatever they are made of.
Use flour and vegy oil for thermal paste replacement, awesome homebrew to keep the cpu cool on stock fan under extreme gaming or for whatever, you'll never hear the fan even kick up to higher rpm's, also works great with gpu heatsink(s). Couple of us gamergeeks were testing out and mixing products, and this by far is the best we seen, even with higher volts and clocking then stock. Highs hit 45 degrees max on cpu under major load and gpus hit 50 max with stock fan settings.
Linus, I love your vids, but you need to specify that different percentages of isopropyl are fine, as this confuses many people. (70% vs 99% etc) As others have said, it's time for a remaster. ;-)
@12me91 Since you're using some kinda slang for what you're talking about I don't understand, but if its alcohol, any kind of alcohol that can dissolve the residue is perfectly fine. As long as its alcohol.
Wow I put a larger blob and spread it evenly and very thin with an old credit card across the whole of the metal surface. I've got old PC's atleast 6-7 years old working perfectly and with very low temps with this method. My current pc's i5 is idling at 31 degrees using the spread method so it must work.
@TheHornyHomunculus sry to say but that method is really bad, and can cause a large amount of air bubbles, watch this to see how thermal paste spreads /watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4&feature=related As you can see spreading is the worst way of applying, the pea method spreads the perfect amount with no air bubbles :) your welcome
@NCIXcom Linus sir, can I use 98,4% ethanol instead of isopropylic alcohol? The latter is pretty hard to find in Brazil while the earlier is used in home cleaning and is widely available.
Another question, can/should I do all this process without unplugging the mobo and removing it from the case? I would unplug only the PSU so I don't risk getting shocked. I'm not sure I can plug it all back up if I remove it, as my technician usually does that for me. Thanks for the great video!
im confused.. in other Video, if you installed Thermal paste from the CPU, they do is spreading it so it until it becomes thinner then applying the HSF.(heatsync fan)they said this affect most of cooling. so what's the difference between this video?
wtf on the intel cpu that wont do shit if the IHS is not COMPLETELY covered with paste. he did the line method too which is more than an uncooked grain of rice and it STILL didnt cover the IHS (integrated heat spreader), so imagine what the AMD IHS would look like. D'oh!
Glad to see someone doing this correctly. Although spreading it out with a card will work, your still most likely going to have air pockets and that's not good... especially if you plan to overclock. Not spreading the compound ensures you have a nice "air pocket free" fit. Thanks NCIX
@jurassic512 your right a few quick twists will take care of this issue but if you apply it correctly so that the compound is spread as you tighten down the heatsink, there will be no need for this step. One of the first things I learned while getting A+ certified
Nice explanations. Your video helped me a lot to built my new system. I was very stressed with the idea of putting the thermal paste myself. I was stressed before and while doing it, but everything went well. I took my time and it was successful. Advice from my experience: Don't put to much paste... do it clean and the heatsink will flat it. The video explains perfectly the amount to put on the processor. Do it slowly and it will be fine.
@scatteredminded When you install the heatsink, the pressure spread the thermal compound evenly on all the surface filling any imperfection between the cpu and the heatsink preventing oxygen from interfering with the thermal conductivity.
I couldn't find where the processor on the mother board so I ordered 90 boxes of mx2 and covered my motherboard with it. I have reduced my temperatures by 15 degrees
There is so much confusion about a rice size, line, pea, etc. Also, with heat pipe grooves, multi-core cpu's...can you do a definitive guide that explains all this? It's 2011 and a lot of people have the i5/i7 cpu's with a cooler with copper pipes. I think there are a lot of incorrect info out there. Lastly, what is the preferred thermal paste?
Not sure if too much is bad or good, but my Xbox360 kept crashing until I re-paste it with just a pea size and did NOT spread it...and it has not crashed yet! Please clarify how to apply paste for a i5-2500k (quad core) cpu. I don't want to screw this up as it will be overclocked.
this method is completely wrong and nearly all the comments on this channel so far is wrong. put a globule the size of an xbox button in the center and dont spread it with an card. use decent non conductive thermal paste. dont waste your time with any other methods there all wrong. the size of an uncooked grain of rice! doing it that way it can go wrong my method is never wrong.
@NwZ2 im not sure about about troll status, over scrimping thermal paste has been proven a fallacy. im not suggesting people start placing marble sizes on there CPU but if you use the amount suggested in the video all im saying is it can go wrong, and it could. people often say you dont need it on the sides only in the middle where the cores are which in my opinion is stupid and bad ethos since the sides heat up as well. less isnt more unless your using conductive thermal paste anyway.
hmm .. i always apply a little ball of compound the size of a grain of rice, and i rub it out with a wallet card to make sure it covers the entire cpu with a thin layer.
then i take some microfiber cloth, apply a tiny bit of paste on it and rub it over the surface of the heatsink. I'm not actually adding a layer there, just speading it out so that near to nothing is on it.
You don´t really need the alcohol (or nail polish remover or white spirit). It is used to remove grease, but your CPU and cooler are not greasy when they come from the factory and not handled by humans nor are they dirty. only if you touched the base of the CPU and heatsink and smudged sweaty fingers all over the surface then you could use some simple white spirit or nail polish remover (you need only a very small amount) to remove grease as grease IS an insulator.
So you always take the heatsink off to check whether the paste is spread out well enough? Seems to me it is better to leave it there, cause if you take it off and put it back on again youll get airbubbles underneath...
So, I couldn't find my cpu... I bought the alcohol and the MX-2, so i just squeezed the the whole tube of MX-2 into the alcohol, shook it up real good, then poured it SLOWLY all over the motherboard, I'm pretty sure I have covered the cpu since everything is covered in a greyish solution. temperatures are now 5~10 degrees lower.
@alexkwilliams by trolling, you mean bending your mother over and giving her what she deserves right? Well, if I 'trolled' any harder she would break. I know this because she said so, she said "if you troll any harder I'm going to break," at least that's what I think she said, she had her mouth full. and I wasn't the only one there. Poor Mrs. Williams
@tugaxD23 It facilitates an increased heat transfer from the CPU to the heatsink. Heat is not efficiently transferred if you simply place the heatsink on the CPU.
The whole job of the heatsink is to draw heat from the CPU (heat is the enemy of electronic components). Thermal Compound allows the heatsink to draw heat from the CPU much more efficiently. Thermal Compound is cheap, no reason not to use it.
No one should just open up there computer disconnect there CPU and replace the thermal compound. Most new computers, the CPU compound does not need to be replaced and if your computer is older then five years old it sucks. You only have to really learn this if your building a computer or your experience enough to upgrade your CPU on your motherboard. To all the NOOBs don't try this or you will have to give NCIX around 1000 dollars for a new computer.
Wouldn't you want enough thermal compound to cover the cpu & the heatsink leaving no area in between the two uncovered???? Yes I agree less is better than more but only if you put just enough on in the 1st place.
G @Cpillin425 I think I had that problem on a old laptop I think a HP zv5000 I remember that I puled out the heatsink with the entier cpu, I never was able to remove it from the heatsink it looked like it was glued so I put it again in the soket with the entier heatsink & evrething worked ok.
@Cpillin425 You turn on your computer for a few minutes so the cpu heats up. Once it's warm. turn the computer back off and try again. Once the paste is warm it's easier to get off.
then i did it for a 3rd time and this time i noticed the previous times i was not installing the heatsink fan holder properly... so it was not making contact... and that can fry my cpu in less than 10 secs... this last time it worked.. my quad core I5 is intact.. at least that is what i think.. any way to check the performance of each core? computer working normally temp is now around 10 degress less
@allsic If you cover the CPU in thermal compound you may cause air bubbles to form. A single blob or line with thermal compound will actually push any air out of it as the fans spread it outwards.
@Glisern Hi Glisern, I had a terrible time when chaning the thermal compund... i did cleaned the cpu and heat sink and added the new artic 5, turned on my computer and it didnt boot... i turned off inmmediately thinking the work just happened... then cleaned again and installed everything.. the same happened... i thought my CPU was fried already...
I actually didnt apply any thermal paste on my cpu, I dont really remember too if there was some on the stock fan...should i be worried? i bought the new a8-3850
@heavyarms39 Your stock heat sink probably had some paste on it, you should be ok. If your heatsink didn't come with a tube of thermal paste then it was probably pre-applied.
@hhslf thanks for replying, I am worried though because my temps reach to 55 degrees celcius in the BIOS at start up and my computer freezes while watching videos from time to time
what got me the best results (i7 2600, coolermaster hyper 612s) is maxe a x with the thermal compound. i was using the blob method like he was using.. but the method that i was used made my temps go from 60C to 55C (=

TRUST ME! You dont need that alchohol shit. A dry clean cloth or tissue will do the trick. I used a wet one and it didnt fuck up my heatsink.

@JonasAndStuffDK95 oh ok thanks

@tugaxD23 It facilitates an increased heat transfer from the CPU to the heatsink. Heat is not efficiently transferred if you simply place the heatsink on the CPU.
The whole job of the heatsink is to draw heat from the CPU (heat is the enemy of electronic components). Thermal Compound allows the heatsink to draw heat from the CPU much more efficiently. Thermal Compound is cheap, no reason not to use it.

I put Arctic Silver 5 on top and on the bottom of my CPU and now it's 8C lower then with the paste just on top!
Also, if you open up a harddrive and take out the magnet it works faster because the magnet isn't slowing it down anymore

I think you forgot to turn the screws back by 90 degrees on your Intel heatsink. Nevertheless, a great tutorial, very detailed and helpful! Thanks!

No one should just open up there computer disconnect there CPU and replace the thermal compound. Most new computers, the CPU compound does not need to be replaced and if your computer is older then five years old it sucks. You only have to really learn this if your building a computer or your experience enough to upgrade your CPU on your motherboard. To all the NOOBs don't try this or you will have to give NCIX around 1000 dollars for a new computer.

Wouldn't you want enough thermal compound to cover the cpu & the heatsink leaving no area in between the two uncovered???? Yes I agree less is better than more but only if you put just enough on in the 1st place.

G @Cpillin425 I think I had that problem on a old laptop I think a HP zv5000 I remember that I puled out the heatsink with the entier cpu, I never was able to remove it from the heatsink it looked like it was glued so I put it again in the soket with the entier heatsink & evrething worked ok.

So uhhh... what if the heatsink is stuck to the processor with the heat paste? lol
Cpillin425 5 months ago
@Cpillin425 You turn on your computer for a few minutes so the cpu heats up. Once it's warm. turn the computer back off and try again. Once the paste is warm it's easier to get off.

I am a Noob and didn't know that you needed a different heat sink for an AMD and Intel. I just bought a AMD motherboard and a Intel heat sink.

then i did it for a 3rd time and this time i noticed the previous times i was not installing the heatsink fan holder properly... so it was not making contact... and that can fry my cpu in less than 10 secs... this last time it worked.. my quad core I5 is intact.. at least that is what i think.. any way to check the performance of each core? computer working normally temp is now around 10 degress less

you just dropped some of thermal compund on it.. but never spread it ivenly to cover all the CPU.. do you think is not needed?
allsic 5 months ago
@allsic If you cover the CPU in thermal compound you may cause air bubbles to form. A single blob or line with thermal compound will actually push any air out of it as the fans spread it outwards.
Glisern 5 months ago
@Glisern Hi Glisern, I had a terrible time when chaning the thermal compund... i did cleaned the cpu and heat sink and added the new artic 5, turned on my computer and it didnt boot... i turned off inmmediately thinking the work just happened... then cleaned again and installed everything.. the same happened... i thought my CPU was fried already...

I actually didnt apply any thermal paste on my cpu, I dont really remember too if there was some on the stock fan...should i be worried? i bought the new a8-3850
heavyarms39 6 months ago
@heavyarms39 Your stock heat sink probably had some paste on it, you should be ok. If your heatsink didn't come with a tube of thermal paste then it was probably pre-applied.
