  • seems like a show from the 80's..

  • 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. ;-)

  • @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.

  • The Cross method works the best not line or blob.

  • @Syrix100 The 80s didn't come to Canada til like '93.

  • How can you possibly fuck up applying thermal compound? If you can butter toast, then this should work too. It's not rocket science.

  • someone used vodca on my CPU lol. to cheap for rubbing acholhol

  • @DazhFX he did.

  • It's been four years, I say re-film it :D lol
