How to Apply Thermal Paste to a CPU

nice video thanks

Alcohol is illegal in my country is there an alternative?!

I prefer using a cotton swap to remove the paste. That way you avoid scratching the cooler surface

Thanks for the guide! I'm swapping everything to a new mobo so I wanted to make sure I was applying the paste properly, worked like a charm.

thank you for walking me through this. Very clear and easy to follow, helped me a ton!

I have started applying it to the heatsink. A thin layer and then install the cooler. It works better for me than the 1000 other ways I've tried. Give props to the heatsinks they send with new processors for the idea. I just copied it.

is the rubbing alcohol necessary? i dont know if i have any readily available

What if my aio has pre applied thermal paste? Is it wrong to put some more on the cpu?

The old thermal paste is burnt lmao

Thanks for the quick tutorial! I'm building my first pc and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, so videos like this that get straight to the point are a godsend.

Straight to the point and detailed. Thanks for the great tutorial.

I am hyped to do this!

Do they make a thermal paste that has RGB?

Hey guy, what I do sometimes I place blue Painters tape around the cpu in a square formation and the place the paste, to avoid the spill over the edges with the paste when done just remove the Painters tape and it should be even, lol.

What if I don't have alcohol 😢

Great, very helpful.

Thermal grease is a very important auxiliary accessories, can bring more high performance for the CPU to play, I recommend MJ M12 thermal grease, its performance and price are very advantageous, better than MX-4!

I had to do it twice, first attempt was way too little paste, and of course the temps are abysmal 😂

The second attempt, I put a bit more and temp is 11°C cooler. I use the spatula method.

Thanks for the guide 👍

Method #2 the pea is what I have always used = No air entrapment easier install and after a year or so taking the cooler off it has always been evenly spread. But I have seen these Graphene sheets with their results showing great effectiveness I want more info on the Graphene sheets might just be the thing? They don't need changing ever or a long time.

if ur a new bee.. forget about the second method as u WILL mess up the cooler pressure....just use the spatula

WANT A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT PUT PASTE ON THE CPU!!!!!!!!!! DUHHHH! PUT THE PASTE ON THE HEATSINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DONT PUT LAYER!!!!!! PUT SMALL DAB IN THE MIDDLE DUHHHHHHH

Good vid. Intel's advice is the blob method but I like the spread method.

Quick, easy, simple. Thank you!

Can't find the link no in the apps for checking temp in cpu

Хуета

Should lift it off and see what the coverage looks like when you don't spread it...or just spread it with the heatsink

Good stuff man. What is that white case in the background with the plant in it? lol I gots to get one! :)

thank you! very helpful vídeo.

Do you need to drain the loop before removing the cpu cooler?

Man I tried doing and my pc didn't start...so I ain't trying my luck yet again....scram I have no friends

Thanks, great video, straight to the point and very informative.

I had a moment of anxiety when you tilted the alcohol bottle onto the paper towel over the open pc case. 😓 😰 🥵

nice

will it work if i just use a paper towel or a cotten swab to remove the existing thermal paste? I do not have any rubbing alcohol available

Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and raised from the dead after 3 days and He is coming back soon with His Kingdom, repent plz ❤️

Thank you so much! This helped a ton with my cpu waterblock cause it was overheating, and I've never changed it or cleaned it out. Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!!💙🙏

Thank you. Clear and simple and I appreciate your video shows everything so clearly. I have a tremor so my preference is the dot method. I'm glad to see it's still a recommended way to go.

what if my cpu cooler is aftermarket or I can't find any info in it? I know how to remove mine with trial and its quite simple. also thanks for the guide.

You get right to it, no repetitive chatter to up the engagement time. Thank you.

Spatulas are messy, just use a clean finger and spread evenly, your finger can sense the slightest unevenness, to make it spread easier, just wipe your finger with some 99% isopropyl alcohol. Applying paste is simple, no need to make it difficult and awkward. ECPU good informative vid, in the end, as long as both surfaces are covered all is good.

What Pc case are you using?

alcohol can go on board just let evaporate lol

Thank you, for your video it has helped so much, it’s meticulous and very informative….

Can I use the AIDA64 for a home build NAS, or does it only run on Windows?

Applying it with the spatula was so challenging because my cpu is a lot smaller. Plus, the thermal paste kept attaching onto the spatula if I rubbed it too much. 😢
