Reasons to buy + Best performance + Stability + Easy to use + Easy to clean up Reasons to avoid - Limited availability ID-Cooling’s Frost X45 is the best-performing thermal paste we’ve tested on our air cooling system, hands down. The biggest downside is its availability: This is a ...
I pulled the card apart and reapplied thermal paste to the gpu. I added extra in the space around the gpu where the heatsink didn't make contact and it dropped 20c. I left the stock thermal pads and it has done perfectly. You might have a more serious problem with the gpu. Agall...
I also know that Intel has a whole lot more expertise than any of us, so it is puzzling that the company would use an inferior TIM for the sake of a few cents (for example, the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Liquid Metal Thermal Paste retails for under $10 for a tube that would do ...
I have re-installed my heatsink and thermal paste with no change. I have tried to manually set my fan speed in the bios. The only setting that avoids this issue is setting the temperature / fan at a constant (and loud) 80-100%. I've tried PWM and DC mode. I have found a ...
The good news is thermal scope prices have dropped a lot. Don’t get me wrong they’re still pretty expensive, but when shopping for thermals you have to utilize the “buy once cry once” mentality. You can find videos of thermal optics in action all over YouTube. They’re commonly use...

I have already eliminated the possibility of mounting the heatsink the wrong way; I reapplied the thermal paste twice, then the third time, I went ahead and completely dis- and reassembled the kit, and reseated the CPU itself as well. I tried two different thermal compounds. None of ...
