How to Apply Thermal Paste to a CPU

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. 😢

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

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

alcohol can go on board just let evaporate lol

What Pc case are you using?

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!💙🙏

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 ❤️

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

nice

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

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

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

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

thank you! very helpful vídeo.

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

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

Хуета

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

Quick, easy, simple. Thank you!

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

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

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

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

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.

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 👍

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!

Great, very helpful.

What if I don't have alcohol 😢

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.

Do they make a thermal paste that has RGB?

I am hyped to do this!

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

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.

The old thermal paste is burnt lmao

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

nice video thanks
