    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    Not surprisingly the product page you linked to currently has a comparison Youtube video from a famous social media tech source. At the end of all of this there is a tiny case to be made for PCMs (given unlimited budgets) but it may only be that the PCM pad once in the liquid phase is thinner...

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    All of these are using too much paste IMO. There is a conspiracy among all these social media-era "Influencers" to encourage people to use way too much TIM or ridiculous cooling. Full coverage with hand pressure and no heat proves my point. Even saying any excess will leak out the sides is also...

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    This is from the current manual of the Noctua NH-D15, not definitive, but seems to be a reasonable source.

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    The influencer suggests less is more, but these results don't indicate any difference, and even the "thin" spread which does marginally better is quite thick IMO. Look how thin a pre-applied product is on a cooler. Is this all just to sell more thermal paste?

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    Is there no thermal downside though? Any extra would be squeezed out? I seem to remember tests between application methods determining too much TIM created more gap in the interface and cooled less efficiently.

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    I can get behind a thin pre-spread with a credit card, but what I'm seeing makes no sense. The TIM has to be oozing out before any heat even comes into play. Why are they doing this?

    Thermal basics : a.k.a. What thermal paste.....

    Has something changed in the intervening 11 years that I would change from applying "three grains of rice" of thermal paste to "gooping it on like toothpaste" I see professionals doing on Twitch and Youtube today? (Other than the intelligence of professionals, i mean.)

    Quiet Mid-Tower ATX, Beast Gaming/Work Case w/ Front Connections?

    Thanks, drilling into smaller comparative details, but this sound advice (ha!) helps me to not lose sight of the bigger picture. We may go with top connections after all and not worry too much about losing 2 out of 6-8 bays which would open up the case choices considerably. Noctua ULN fans have...

    Quiet Mid-Tower ATX, Beast Gaming/Work Case w/ Front Connections?

    Quietest mid-tower ATX with front connections recommendations? (I don't mean "my HAFX is pretty quiet when I'm not gaming" but a case specifically designed for quietness, please.) Started with Corsair 330R (any colour) but they are out of stock which would delay the build. A few other...

    Want to Trade MTL Junk Drawer Check: [Solved - Closed]

    Thanks for the offer, but this is more difficult than I imagined. The Hardware Canucks are still my computer bros from way back, but I ended up ordering some from eBay and will wait them out. The pertinent Québec expression is "beau, bon, pas cher" which paraphrased for my situation is "quick...

    Want to Trade MTL Junk Drawer Check: [Solved - Closed]

    A bit weird, but hear me out: I bought a Roland MC-808 from Kijiji with no external memory. From what I understand 1GB Compact Flash cards and 512Mb PC133 DIMMs are maximums usable. Looking for top shelf vintage kit for my new axe, figured this is the place. Can trade any number of things from...
