Had a feeling, that I didn't apply the thermal paste evenly, was right about that, overdid it now and some little bit went under the CPU, no biggy, then I cleaned it and well, OF COURSE, I fucked up some of the contacts on the mobo... no more boot...
I just hope it didn't affect the CPU (shouldn't tho, right? Was only like 2 or 3 pins... and the mx4 is, afaik, not conducting, right?
Oh well, not wanting to change CPU (6700k), I already placed some bids on a couple 170 and 270 boards, lol.
Story of my life... there is nothing else I break as much, as mobos... bits of plastic, sockets, plugs.. whatever... If it can break, I'll break it eventually ^^
And yeah, I could fix the pins, but I have neither the patience nor the tools for that I rather pay 20-30 bucks for a replacement
the only time i broke a mobo is when the known shitty abit K green capacitators blew up in my face while i was fucking around with rgb neon light tubes in 2004 in the case while pc was on
they sent me 2 bags of capacitor replacements rofl , go ahead and resolder them all pffft fuck that shit.
i dont think ill use paste anymore in future, this piece of cloth thingy thats been around for a while now seems pretty good and way less messy. But not upgrading till like 2022 , right now is pointless

You are talking about thermal pads, right? What would be the best thermal reducing (I don't care if it should be renewed everytime you remove the fan) brand or model for a 9th Generation Intel i5? I'm searching for it on the webz but couldn't get a grip yet.
Ok, thanks. I've never had problems applying paste on CPUs, been working intermittently on IT. Problem is, even with the regular intel cooler and a brand new i5 9400F I get thermal spikes at 85-89ºC when using Handbrake. I suspect the pre-applied thermal paste on the regular intel cooler isn't enough. No OC, stock speeds. These pads seem interesting.

*ding ding ding*
It never is. Ever. The stock cooler itself is god awful and shouldn't be used by anyone, at any time, for any reason... but that rock-solid goop they smear on the bottom of it? Should be classed as a crime.
yep they cut their stock coolers in half it seems and ripped out the copper, the greedy cunts
ud think they have an under the table agreement with cpu cooler manufacturers to profit twice, where they receive kickbacks for aftermarket coolers sold
my old thick stock cooler actually did the job
holy fuck, zip ties! , those can make me reuse my oldest one

AMDs stock coolers aren’t that bad though I‘d never use one anyway.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
I guess normally, someone who gets a new processor (and most likely mainboard, etc), will just take his/her old aftermarket cooler and put it on the new one
But I guess it's ok to use the stock cooler just to POST once to see if everything works, before mounting everything
shift ? then the locking mechanism on the cooler is dogshit
its not difficult, its a mess and cleaning sux
It's a piece of cloth, ofcourse it will shift it does that already when you are just putting it on the cpu... have you even tried these things? Or just talking out of arse again?
I'm sure you could even find reviews on the things that mention it. Now did I have much problems with them? No... but we're talking about a so called solution for making it easier on the less technical people. And it comes with its own challenges.
didnt intel also stop suppling stock coolers in the cpu boxes anymore, and amd still does have dcoolers in theirs? making amd that more value for money not requiring an extra cooler purchase

I have used Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut pads, they are fucking pain in the ass to install atleast on a GPU (for cpu its easy), there is no way to tell if its the right place when you screw the cooler together, the pad itself slides like silk cloth on a glass surface, these things also are electrically conductive. They perform nicely on AMD gpu's with hotspot temperatures, but on a cpu its like 10c higher temperature than kryonaut paste, good thing is that you will not ever need to change it.
It's just to see how far they can push it.
I mean I honestly don't see an appeal in speedrunning games but its a competitive thing like this and other stuff.
