Thermal Paste Cheap Vs Expensive | No Paste Vs Toothpaste Vs Cheap Vs Expensive 

I like mint toothpaste for that minty smell when gaming.

​@@mikem9536I bet mint will cool better too!

I like the silver sheen it leaves behind.

absolutely

look at the bright side, you have alot of it ;)

I am agree, expensive can live long, look at video expensive can hold more good 60 degrees n i agree with that

A week? Whiter will evaporate in an hour or two.

agree like those free paste that come with cpu cooler it still there even 3-4 years passed.

Uhm, that's actually pretty common. It doesn't matter if you spread it with your fingers or with a scrap, as long as you washed your hands before. The most important part is to actually spread it over the whole CPU, and don't use too much. If you just put a dot on it, or a X, there is no guarantee it will flatten out 100%. And if you use too much, it will spill over, and thats not optimal. So, always spread it over the whole CPU ;)

It's supposed to be poisonous. Like everything.

Phaah, im too

Eww

da fuq is wrong in spreading it with a finger? i do that too, and no, it's not poisonous, ofcourcer you're not supposed to eat it but a small dose isnt magically gonna kill u

Well, I got 300g of HY-510 (ten 30g tubes) for less than $25CAD. I'll never need to buy thermal paste ever again. 😁

For temporary solution it work, I did it for a CPU that barely work and change it to thermal paste after I bought one

They look the same and it's cool in mouth

Tartar control keeps your cpu plaque-free

It’s calls being broke

@@naorl8866 but... Just buy a thermal paste tube, that's dangerous tho

i just switched coolers and had to realize i was probably running my oc cpu without thermal paste for a year. its funny cause i didnt switch to get the temps but down but actually the noise.

im runing a laptop from 2010, and i dont know if they changed the paste 5 years when i buy it, but i know i didnt, and still works fine, it gets hot af but sooner or later i will have to put it some goo in, i just try to not pass the 96c limit, 100 is dangeriusly and past 105 is overly done

That's just how the new HPs run. I've been through 3 HP laptops over the last 5 years, yet my 9 year old HP is still the best one I currently have.

it's normal laptop temperature

Old comment but you could try a very high end thermal paste :-)

In most laptops the best you can do is try to find any aftermarket software or bios that allow you to modify fan speed curve. A cheap thermal paste is the same as toothpaste as you seen here, but you could try a top end one, polishing the heatsink, set fan speed faster with FanControl or just try to undervolt your cpu if possible maybe aftermarket bios to change voltage and fan speed curve. They cut down a lot of bios settings on laptops. Other thing that could work is lower down the mhz on boost mode, if boost to 3 for 2 seconds but goes down to 2.5 cause thermals is better to have a fix 2.7 stable boost, you know. Lot of work but you save your pc profile in Google Drive and you could format the pc and put your settings easy. But laptop manufacturers run a little hot most of the time, but if mhz and voltage gets down cause thermal protection you could improve settings for avoid it and even if you don't get faster your lower fps could improve a lot. Mosty if throttle serverly and sadly very expensive laptops do. Enjoy gaming!

95c is most likely the tjmax (the temperature it was designed to run at) so its no big deal unless it starts reaching over the tjmax

this is a test of thermal paste effectiveness to transfer heat not how hot will this cpu get. room temp is irrelevant so long as it is consistent.

@@TheGreenMarksman nope . . the surrounding temperature directly affects CPUs . . your environment plays an essential role in either helping your cpu cooler or add to its agony between seasons (winter and summer) . . materials that transfer heat may also be affected just like what happens in your car radiator when using anti-freeze vs using water

@@athrunzala5337 Antifreeze is to prevent water from becoming ice not to help with thermal conductivity. I'm sure theoretically your right but at the ranges that thermal paste is applicable it's not going to matter. If you can find one test where 1 paste beats another just by changing ambient temps I would like to see.

@@TheGreenMarksman Ambient temp differs greatly between winter and summer seasons. This might affect the thermal compound, the CPU and the cooler's behavior. I stated the ambient temp as an additional factor to the equation and not the only factor. Seeing how these elements chemically behave between seasons might be the reason you might choose a dedicated thermal compound over toothpaste or vice-versa. I used the anti-freeze vs water comparison is a car radiator to prove my theory and not to compare a car anti-freeze to CPU thermal paste ;-) . . Last;y anti-freeze isn't for winter only . . it also plays a role during a hot summer too.

@@athrunzala5337 I get what you are saying that's why i said theoretically yes it does matter but practically it doesn't matter. I would be more worried about toothpaste drying out as it is water based.(honestly didn't think anyone would seriously use toothpaste) it matters with water/antifreeze because they are trying to keep it in the liquid phase. preventing freezing in low temps and boiling at high. most CPU's thermal throttle at 100c so maybe you could get water based toothpaste to boil but if your producing that much heat you would want to use more efficient T. paste anyway. Therefore ambient temp is practically irrelevant.

"Tootpaste" will attract flies.

Bigger plot twist: I have been brushing our teeth with termal paste all this time.

Still you should never try it, after a week of no thermal cpu is gonna be cooked

same but it probably did so well cause he has a beefy io cooler but if he used a normal box cooler with a fan it probably would've gone above 90 degrees celsius

Cheap toothpaste vs expensive toothpaste

@@juventusmessi1579 The problem is that Colgate is cheap toothpaste and Crest is about the same. We'd need something like SensoDyne. 😁

That's a flawed way of thinking, degrees cannot be thought of as a percentage because it is not an absolute number, it's a representation of energy. So 6 degrees is not 10%, it is only 6 degrees and you interpret it as 6 degrees and never as a percentage. You should know 6°C is a massive temperature difference especially considering that it's only by applying a paste. People spend hundreds of dollars on liquid cooler over of air coolers for a couple of degrees difference. So yes, the price is 100% worth no matter what you're setup is IF you want to maximize cooling.

This test doesn't say that at all. This test says "It doesn't matter". Cheap thermal paste doesn't last a shorter amount of time than expensive stuff. Where did you come up with that bullshit, a Kryonaut marketing brochure? I've been building PCs since before CPUs needed coolers and sure, back in the day, when coolers were new, you wanted the expensive stuff because the cheap stuff really was terrible but that hasn't been true for well over 10 years now. Our tech is so advanced that you can't save much money in production costs by making a vastly inferior product so nobody bothers trying. Even "the worst" CPU paste, according to Tom's Hardware is only 6.5C hotter than using Kryonaut. That 6.5C won't do a thing to make a difference, it is a negligable difference at best.

Yes, but you literally have toothpaste all day, every day, meanwhile you can run out if thermal paste and not even realize. For emergencies, toothpaste will do the trick to get your PC up and running, and not super hard to clean off

6 degrees is not "10%". You do not compare it to freezing temperatures. The baseline should be the ambient temperature. If it was 20 degrees in his room, then it's more like a 15% improvement. Of course, this does not consider the cooler's ability to dissapate the heat as well, and other variables unaccounted for.

@@faisal3398 that's some "fuck the poor" type of bullshit. 6-10 degrees won't change much as well as water cooling isn't worth it's money. Just slap 200watt air cooler on your 95-125watt cpu, apply 5-10$ paste and that's it. You'll never be bothered by the cpu temp.

Don't pls

i have been using it for 10 months since i saw this video, my mouth feel funny after some weeks and now my doctor says i have zinc poisoning. and my pc, never applied thermal ever

I Highly doubt using a finger will make a difference because thermal paste is already an oil based grease. Everyone please stop commenting on thermal paste application, firstly it doesn't matter, second its annoying, everyone does it there own way and its fine.

So could whatever your using to spread the paste. Whats your point? Clean hands. Vs dirty tool? It's all relative. What if the person following your recommendation keeps their thermal paste spreader in their tool box with all their greasy tools and metal shavings all over. So if the person just washed their hands. Still a bad idea? Or should I go grab my thermal paste spreader tool out of my tool box?

I think with time the toothpaste, being organic may pose fire hazard too.

I always have a chonky tube of mx4 around XD

I still use an i7 it still beats the i9 and i3 because I can overclock it much farther and still be stable and cooler at least until the next Generation comes out which are i7 just overclocked at least the Sandy Bridges

@@saltiness_incoming1407 oh iam talking about the experiments he can try those on any old processors like pentium core i3 core 2 duo or something

@@corei3s.p.852 thermal paste or any of its non conductive substitute cant damage processor

@@rayyanberg8974 please check out his other videos.

the cooler not always spread to the edges, making sure to cover the whole cpu is a smart move

you also dont want air bubbles in between them

The cooler spread is outdated now

Darlie

closeup and cpu will kiss you

sensodine

im doing that since 24 years , never had a problems, it isnt a human body surgery

Mx4 feels good
