What's the logic behind having the computer on for 30 mins before removing it?

@PE4Doers 3 года назад

When the Thermal Compound is 'Warm' it comes off MUCH easier. I am one of the "statistics' who experienced a CPU pulled out of the socket and some of the CPU pins winding up bent by a PGA socket when removing the cooler.

Oh no, that happened to me as well and about 6 pins were slightly bent. I was able to fix it and have it as a spare now that will be part of my next 'Parts Test' build - which will be all the new and used parts that I have have shelved for future use.

5min option is turn on a app to monitor temps and then a basic stress option like with CPUz. Unplug the fan and simply monitor temps. Let it climb to around 75c and then stop the software stress and shut down pc. Promptly uninstall the cooler and remember to still twist and slide the cooler a bit just in case your thermal compound is holding on tight even after being warmed up. Key is to just monitor tempts and keep them in the 70’s max to stay in a very safe range. I did pull my 2700x out of the socket but luckily no damage and used it for another year or so before selling it for $100.

@choongkeat 2 года назад

I'd prefer to have the CPU come off together with the cooler. Joking aside, just run a CPU intensive load application for 5 minutes should have soften the paste enough.

@PE4Doers 2 года назад

I had it come off with the cooler on me once - NOT fun. I was able to bend the four bent pins back in successfully, but still a sickening feeling when dealing with a 4-month old 3900X :( Your suggestion on heating it up a little is great, I would just like to reinforce trying to slide it left and right (just a little) a couple of times before pulling it up.

Depending on what I'm doing I'll just unplug the fan and let it warm up till it's not too hot to touch. Then you don't even have to go into the os, and it dosen't cool off at all when you shut down.

I just replaced the default thermal pad with cooler master mastergel maker paste. I made a small square and seated it back properly and everything. Now I'm getting 60c idle temps compared to 45-50c before but the load temp has decreased from 80c to 76-77c. What is happening? :(

Can you take out the fan with out taking out the entire cooling unit? Just for cleaning purposes

@PE4Doers 5 месяцев назад

That might be possible, however I would be concerned I might break the thermal pastes seal between the cooler and the CPU, so I would pull it to remove the fan and have the opportunity to replace the paste.

Hi I know it may seem like a dumb question I’m thinking of upgrading my cpu fan cooler … when cleaning the cpu with alcohol should I take the cpu out or leave it in and clean it?

@PE4Doers 2 года назад

Leave it in. That is the best way to avoid damaging any of the pins. Some old paste may creep into the sides, but unless you have way too much there, that should not be a problem. Try pushing it in from the ends toward the middle of the CPU as you clean it. take a little off at a time if there is a lot toward the edges. This may be something worth a separate video.

Then with it relatively hot, try twisting it a little side to side. Do not try and pull it straight out however, I once bent three of the CPU pins by doing that since it suddenly sprang out and I accidentally hit it on one of the large heat-sinks.

I took my 2 weeks old cpu sticked to the cooler. Resulted in many bended pins and damaged socket in premium mb. The computer was not turning on at all. I was lucky to find someone who fixed it, but now im scared of trying again myself. I now hate amd socket enough to never buy again until they change the way to secure the cpu. I rhink i should pay someone to do it for me when changing cooler for this build.

Not at all. That happened to me once as well. That is once of the problems with the AM4 socket (which originated with Intel and replicated by AMD about 20 years ago. You just need to make sure you let it heat up before trying to remove it, then pushing it from side-to-side slowly to start.
