applying artic silver

AMD Duron K7 :D

[TheUnPlayable]

Lol people... Everyone knows that the dot or line method is better.... But 5 years ago, that method was the recommanded one. Yeah i know its retarded ^^

[WNxLone]

@TheUnPlayable Maybe because this video was uploaded 5 years ago? derp?

[TheUnPlayable]

@WNxLone Oo Yeah that's barrely what I said....

[pratt123]

@TheUnPlayable Check Benchmark Reviews' multi-year study on 80 different thermal pastes. He is actually doing it the right way (although not so well in the execution of the method). Putting a dot or line leaves too much excess compound near those locations but does not cover the edges properly. If you put enough to cover the edges, it will most likely also come off the edges as well (not good).

[geekforlifevandc]

@pratt123 the cores are located in the center the edges are pointless to cover

[pratt123]

@geekforlifevandc So you are saying that there is no benefit in having more surface contact for conducting heat away from the CPU. What a noob statement.

[geekforlifevandc]

@pratt123 there is a benefit but having the bubbles ruins it you have to put a large glob in the middle and put on the cooling system and make sure there is paste on all sides then just take the paste from the sides and take it off

[pratt123]

@geekforlifevandc That is messy. Easier to just evenly apply a small layer on entire heatsink with your glove-covered finger. Then, press the heatsink from one side first. This also prevents bubbles. And no mess.

[plpearl]

dot in center method for all you paste spreading morons..... dot in the center people, it is not "magical heat dissapating compound", its there, to fill in the MICROSCOPIC gaps you dumb@33ies

[PocketDrummer]

enjoy your bubbles.

[iluvthispage]

The background music is total like 1990's educational video. LOL

[worlddomin623]

Wow this is one of the oldest videos on youtube.

[Smokie181]

Ouch dude why you spreading this video!! You should be ashamed of yourself =D

That is a very ineffective way of applying paste. SOOO many people spread paste and you DONT HAVE TO. The best method of applying paste is to put a small dot (X method also proved not to bad, but you may end up with excess paste) and to let the heatsink spread the paste itself. The pressure of installation will spread the dot around the core/center of the chip (thats where the heat is). Spreading = hot pockets.

[Smokie181]

@Smokie181 found a perfect video to show exactly what i'm talking about.

watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4&NR=1

[lordmat666]

just visit the arctic silver web site the have a manual that shows you the better method depending on your cpu

[Maul9999]

Are you sure you know what to do???? 'Cause i heard thermal paste can hurt CPU without metal cover. 

[CHA0Z4649]

How old is that processor and heat-sink o.o never seen anything like that LOL

[MegaHolymoly]

Holy shit! This video is old! Everybody look at the date. Has to be one of the first few youtube videos.

[vearheart42]

@BramThePiPo This is an older cpu, when they didn't have the aluminum top on them. For those it was best to spread it. With the aluminum heatspreader on the cpu's now the pea method is better.

[mogul1265]

So am i going to need a athlon processor to do this? Computer people are annoying as hell sometimes, and make the simplest shit seem like brain surgery. 

[krispy42008]

i know what song im playing at the 3rd annual Artic Silver application party.

[l33thax40r]

That's the dumbest way to put on thermal paste. Take the paste make a pea-sized drop and spread it with a card paper thin. The more the better is incorrect under these circumstances.

[SeikoPsycho]

yup... spreading causes air bubbles.

[Hanuki]

@SeikoPsycho If i have a CPU that has a already applied Thermal Paste do i need to re-apply enougher layer on my CPU?

[SeikoPsycho]

@Hanuki Nope... you only need one thin layer. Too much could make your CPU run hotter.

[WhiteHawk137]

Is it so hard? Just put a little blob on the middle of the headspreader and THATS IT. If you have an Intel Quadcore processor, like an i7, put a little line. Don't spread it like this, it wil cause airbubbles!

[acefilms2008]

@WhiteHawk137 correct and you know what happens with air bubbles? well air is a good heat isolator, keeping heat in and near you CPU meaning you don't get the cooling performance you want. as for quads... i also suggest lines, and for HDT coolers put half on the CPU and the other half on the heatsink , lines on each exposed pipe.

[WhiteHawk137]

@acefilms2008

Yeah I've got a quadcore but I did the blob method though. Works pretty good. I've got my Phenom II 965 @ 3.8ghz 24dC idle and max 45dC when I run prime95. That's with a CM Z600. So I can't complain :)

[acefilms2008]

=D at those temps than for 4 GHz!!!! that processor has unlocked multiplier so its gunna overclock like a beast!!!!

[ImyManz99]

@WhiteHawk137

965 140w or 125w (c3)?

[WhiteHawk137]

@ImyManz99 C3 revision

[lizardmannnn]

@WhiteHawk137 if you have a HDT heatsink that wont work at all

[TheWolfstien]

epix musix

[cocoman710]

u suck u douche

[Rockas82]

NOOOOO you are a criminal with that way! =O

[destroyertibia]

the heatsink isn't even clean, I mean you can see edges of thermal paste that is left.

[mormonguy101]

that is an outline of where the heatsink will contact the processor... not thermal compound...

[roadkilledmolevafan]

no way! I think I know how it looks like when it is old thermal paste on a heatsink!

[mormonguy101]

how would that be old compound when the die of the cpu isnt nearly as big as that... its an outline of the area of contact

[pkhamidar2com]

i have a shit pc so im going to make my own good one for like 700 quid.

[hurre888]

so?

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

I use any shit of thermal paste, and my computer is working on 35°C...

[hurre888]

who the fuck cares?

[Intelpentium54321]

there is alittle too much imo

[quangphangbang]

so you have to wipe off the thermal stuff off the heat sink? if so then why and do you have to put it on there in the first place?

[PsychoAsian]

You put it on the heat sink and rub it in to fill in the small cracks and crevices in the metal.

[Sharif699]

do u wait for awhile before putting everything back or just spread and put everything back right away?

[Intelpentium54321]

put everything back kbecause it might run ou t

[MugenRac1ng]

OLD CPU'S HELLOOOO??

[kenmha]

Why did he add the compond to the bottom of the heatsink and then wipe it off???

[yuki953]

i was thnking the exact same thing....

[kennyb2142]

Because he thinks it will get him better temps because of rubbing it in to the grid, but its not.. that processer blows anyways

[Naru2005]

Because he wanted to show you that isopropyl alcohol does the job of cleaning the thermal material off. After all, he did dip some into his towel.

[CBEntertainments]

WTF!!! You don't need to spread it out. Just a line on a processor with a head spreader or a dot on one like the vid and then put the heat sink on the top job done!

[bally28]

what a uninformative video, crap. there wouldn't be so many ppl asking questions if this video served it's purpose.

[megamanxu]

it's instructional not educational.

[BarricadeSlade]

Is there such a thing as too much thermal paste? If so, what would happen?

[Twisted86]

To much will leave air bubbles in the paste....this air will get trapped and heat your CPU up.

[MGlBlaze]

Plus too much thermal paste can make a pretty nasty mess too. Adding more than the recomended amount of thermal paste doesn't improve heat transfer at all.

[IRememberEverything]

The world would END.

[uglyfly222]

do u have to use Thermal Compound what happens if u dont use it

[lil0egy0kid]

computer gets way too hot

[asdfxyz1]

you need it. w/o it your cpu will burn out.

[smokedogey13]

is ther a way to tell if my cpu burnt out or my Motherboard?

[asdfxyz1]

take the cpu out. turn on computer and see if the motherboard turns on. if it turns on, then its the cpus problem.

im a beginner but thats pretty obvious. im pretty sure its cpus that burn out. like when people overclock to an unsafe level, then the cpu can get damaged. never really heard of mobo being burnt. but im a beginner so dont trust me.

[smokedogey13]

all the fans are on the lcd lights are working but my power light dont come on and onley way to shut it off is with the switch on back and i get nothing on the screen

[asdfxyz1]

i dont think youre thinking smart. there should be little led lights on your motherboard. or even a tiny speaker that makes beeps to let you know your motherboard is working. turn on your computer without the cpu. if any led lights go on or if you hear a beep, then your motherboard is probably alive.

and just do a google search. im sure youre not the first person on the internet to have this problem. so many people dont know how to google.

[LizzyAston]

Your computer will not burn out if you don't use thermal paste, it will only be hotter. Around 6 to 10 degrees celcius difference with and without.

[asdfxyz1]

You computer wont burn out but your CPU will. Dont even post if you dont know what youre talking about. Everyone that reads your comment will listen to you and burn their CPU because they think CPUs dont need thermal paste. You need something to help the CPU make contact with the heatsink.

[kennyb2142]

Lol, what an idiot you are LizzyAston, if by 6-10 you mean 60-100 Then sure, go ahead.. Temps over 60-70 are Danger zone, above that and you will have crashes, with no thermal paste get ready for a nice little pop and fryed processer

[jon780]

Incorrect. I've seen stable prime95 tests hours in length in the 80's C.

[kennyb2142]

Hence I said 70 beign "Danger Zone" as in almost there, 80-90 is horrid for your processer, lol if not fatal at 90 Crash :)

[prd2bepersian]

u apply thermal compound for the heat in the cpu to travel to the heatsink so it can get dissapated.

[shrynakesavan]

dud thass like /2 a drop on either side... is that enough ... is that all thass needed... and how often do u need to change it ... please lemme know...

[kmain5587]

i think this is one of the best vids on applying thermal paste, you use a decent thermal paste (as3) and you put some one the heat sink to get rid of airbubbles... bravo, three cheers.

although these days you don't really need to do it on the heat sink because the copper serace is usually polished with a very fine grain sand paper.

[kevaughanshiu]

I dont get why you put it on the Heat sink then wipe it off...

and how the hell is a kid like me suppose to get that "alchohol chemical" shit without parents knowing =.=

[BosProductions]

It's just rubbing alcohol, nothing special.

[31337pcs]

i think it goes on the heat sink to fill in any small crevices in the metal. any air is really bad for thermal conductivity.

[SeikoPsycho]

Here in Alaska, we don't even need the thermal paste. Direct contact will work just fine. I am getting 20C idle and 38C load on a Q6600 stock speeds on a stock heatsink with TIM matte removed.

[tylermoore]

my CPU fan is tanked. I have 3 fans on it push about a 67 each in airflow.

[endemion06463]

U must be freezing in that room. Or the sensor is just broken.

[tylermoore]

Right now with my intel quad core it's yeah running 20C that's after hours of play.

[600RR4Life]

how did you have 20C ?

[KanoakaVirus]

ew amd

[worshipme213]

AMD ruled back then!

[KanoakaVirus]

yes back 'then'

[worshipme213]

AMD are recovering. The Pendulum swings to and frow. Athlon 64 was pwnage, Core was a kick in the balls. The Phenom 9850 is an excellent CPU.

[KanoakaVirus]

Do you honestly think they'll overtake intel?

[worshipme213]

Hey, they pulled a cat out of the bag with A64, who's to say they can't do it again? Intel had nothing that could compare with Athlon 64.

[Greensystemsgo]

rumor has it they've already developed a 8 and 16 core CPU. dunno if its real or not as all the articles are on some shady sites.

[worshipme213]

In developpment would be more correct I think. Socket G34 is what's going on apparently.

[bingofob]

wow u don't need that much paste for amd,intel u put da whle thing

[tylermoore]

Are you serious AMD over heats so fast it requires that it's maintained properly intel it's less cooling required and less over heating.

[Georgestuffs]

Intels get way more hotter than AMDS, they are better, so they get hotter, I use an AMD and it runs at 25c on idle...

[worshipme213]

Do you have proof of this? I didn't think so...

[yusufer5000]

man, i wish i would of saw this when i was in middleschool and built my first computer haha.

[Nichen]

Thanks a lot for uploading!

[agdgdgwngo]

lol classy music

[pwnagizer1]

dude...this is so old. Even before the first dual core i beleive...

[39gb]

this is wrong you have to put it on the cpu first because the cpu cooler some times move to one side alittel so the cpu will not cover completly with thermal

[39gb]

sorry i was wrong i did not see the video fully

[Baikas1987]

i just learned something new

[feralferret]

Thanks!

[BigDickVietnamese]

Is that how small your CPU is?

HAHA

[arkheii]

That's just the processor die. Later processors have an integrated heat spreader covering the die and the upper surface of the processor. It adds another layer of heat between the die and the heatsink but also serves to protect the fragile die from breaking - especially when you're using a large, heavy heatsink.

The IHS can actually be removed to reveal the die, but putting the die under pressure from a heatsink like the TRUE120 will be quite risky.

[lespaulzrule]

Exactly, If I were to remove the IHS from my AM2 Athlon 64 4200X2 dual core, it would look practically identical to the CPU in this video, I have actually heard and seen people removing these IHS's from their opteron CPU's so that their Heat-Sink Fan touches the actual CPU die instead if the IHS so that it gives them even better cooling.

I actually have an old S939 Athlon 64 3000+ single core, that I might remove the IHS from and see how far I can over-clock it!

[HowieTheFink]

Nice job with the paste app.

[cowie1337]

This moosic made me get up and dance.

[IRememberEverything]

Great music.

[suckithardnfast]

what? alchohol is to clean up the old paste. you should ALWAYS wear an antistatic wristband and always ground yourself if working near open computer parts

[RenegadeFury]

use arctci clean for it, or distilled water artic silver is trash, mx-2 is the best of the best arctic silver 5 is capacitive its not conductive but capacitivive mx-2 is neither capacitive or conductive and has much better thermal property

[soldersucker]

Do NOT use WD40. Thats moronic!

[halfserbhalfozi]

Cleaning of old heat paste I use WD40. It is easy to add it to tissue and wipe heat paste. Also it could be used as solvent to apply thin layer of new heat paste. WD40 will evaporate and does not cause problem with electricity (read property of WD40). If you need more info contact me.

[suckithardnfast]

that is such a bad idea i cant even comprehend it

[bengbark]

I got mine at Radioshack

[noriega6855]

stupyd you have to apply the paste in the procesor !!!!!!!!!!!

[sou3789]

can some one tell me where i can get artic silver besides online?

[suckithardnfast]

any kind of computer store, best buy, like he said radio shcack, microcenter, anyplace where u could buy a video card at

[mcvmacovei]

From Romania,Iasi, Diverta shop

[sou3789]

NVM about that..it was 6 months ago...

[fastfighter]

Do you have to wait until the thermal paste is dry to play games?

[alexdapaintballa]

no.

[BiteMezzzz]

can I use perfum instead of alcohol! ??

[curlzboi]

hahahhaa

[2young2die2drunk2liV]

cocunut water does mirACles so i assume u didnt even hear about that

[Tertuel]

Probably not, but you can just wipe off the old paste by hand.

[mcvmacovei]

your hand has natural grease

[Jiraiya000]

UMMMM if you go on Newegg and go to product tours In the movies and stuff it say NOT TO CLEAN THE CPU OR HSF WITH ALOCLOL

[jacktharippares]

that's a socket A right? the socket 939 looks different and you huld put that all over the processor on a s 939

[chad509]

lol i love the groovy music, good vid btw

[ItsPlugtastic]

well the heatsink is full of microscopic gaps, when you wipe off the AS5 for the first time that leaves all the gaps filled in so you can get better contact between the core and the waterblock

[RenegadeFury]

quick question, why did you... put artic silver 3 on the heatsink then remove it?

[riznrik]

lol

[ItsPlugtastic]

He filled in the little gaps in the copper by rubbing it in and then wiped off the remainder

[Jacky136]

so wait you only need it in the lil gaps?

[Skatox]

nice
