I'm building a PC for the first time since putting together a Pentium 1. Thermal paste has apparently changed?
I was going to use this stuff, because it has great metrics. But then I read that it's a nightmare to spread, has to go on perfectly evenly and paper thin, and is only most useful when you do water cooling or liquid nitrogen, because it doesn't degrade.
Should I just go with regular paste? What even is regular paste anymore? There's too many options. I'm using an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and cooler is an ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO.

get noctua paste.
thermal shittzly has QC issues and is shitty for prolonged use
This
Doesn't even have to be noctua, most anything is better
Thermal grizzly is for moronic "enthusiasts" who think changing paste every 3 months is a normal thing
but are you putting it in your balls or nah?
If someone rolls dubs I will cover my balls in grizzly
I'll roll for that
rolling
Rolling for your pleasure
Mother fricker.
Ok guys, if the thread is alive when I get home, I'll do it. Amazon dropped off the grissly grease. Frick, man that thing was $19 but ... well I shouldn't have offered. God dammit.
Just admit you wanted to do it, you bawd
Yeah, but not for $19 worth of paste. Do you think I could paywall it and get someone to buy it?
I gotta recoup
$19 are temporary, anonymous glory is forever.
Live stream it and you'll get your money back
I'd give you $20 if I had a way.
take pics xD
use IC Graphite thermal pads.
paste is deprecated
Didn't these performe like low budget thermal paste anyway? Any midtier paste should be better than pads. Only advantage is they're reusable but c'mon how often do you change paste...
you see, OP? You can still use it after cleaning it from your balls!
If its for your balls, then yeah use whatever - if its for a cpu, I'm partial to mastergel maker because the nozzle is a flat spread.
bump
OP here. I get home from work in 3 hrs. Bumpity bump
We're waiting, OP.
it's time
N
delivery time, OP
Frick you homosexual coward
>not using liquid metal
ngmi
The israelite changes only the fancy names. All the same bullshit. Put your pc in your ac room.
I need to see your balls, OP.
>thermal paste
...Do you guys seriously not just use Icy-Hot?
Once again, OP is a homosexual.
pls deliver
the color and aesthetic makes this look like lube for furries
just use the one that comes with your cooler, arctic makes good stuff.
>a young man applied thermal paste to this balls this is what happened to his brain
Don't use Kryonaut on regular daily PC because it hardens above certain temp which you'll be hitting constantly. Your cooler will get stuck to the CPU and you'll have to pull it out of the socket with force.
It's more of a benchmarking paste and yes you have to apply thin layer with the application tool.
Also with that mid-low tier cooler, the paste is the least of your concerns. With the cost of this expensive paste, you could've gotten a much better cooler instead.
Get Arctic MX-5 and call it a day.
