1:32 "some like to go straight to the alcohol" well PC building can be stressful

Thank you for being straight-to the point and not filling the video with useless filler explaining the history of thermal paste and your grandmas favourite cookie recipe.

4:21 can we just talk about how happy he looks,like genuinely the happiest person ive seen for a while,def made my day,

I'd probably recommend you turn your computer on for 10 minutes, open up a couple of chrome tabs and heat up that thermal paste. It makes removing the cooler a lot easier. Especially if you haven't removed the cooler in some time, you can rip the cpu right out of the socket. Yes I am speaking from experience 😉

2:39 wtf hell nah man no that's quality work .

Oh my lord, thank you so much. This makes my stress disappear.

Watching this helped me get over my anxiety of replacing the thermal paste on the PC I bought. I was afraid I was going to have to remove the entire motherboard but I see it's much simpler.

I remember building my PC a little over a year ago, and the CPU and fan were already together. Now that I'm troubleshooting and testing each part after a system failure, it's good to know how to do this myself.

I’ve had my pre built for about 3 years now. Definitely gonna do this, this is a lot easier than I thought. Thanks so much bro!

Hahah love the subtle comedy here. Thanks for the vid man. Did my first build this year and I'm glad to find some beginner friendly tips!

Thanks for this, right now i'mnbuilding my first pc and this helped a lot as I had no clue what way I should apply the paste 👍🏻👍🏻

4:20 this made me happy too :^)

I'm building my PC for the first time. This is good to know for when I get to assembly after everything is purchased and ready to go.

Straight to the point, no time wasting BS. 😃👍👍👍

Thank you nick This reduced my extreme nervousity

Thanks for the crash course reminder! Been about a decade since I've touched a CPU and upgrading next month. :)

thank you so much! me and my dad were supposed to fix up this pc together years ago but we lost contact. i’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong for years and this fixed it! so thank you so much!

Amazing tutorial and conviently you have the same cooler that I do so the fear was pretty much zero. this was so easy to replace thank you so much for an amazing tutorial!

Happy to see how happy he is doing his stuff

GREAT video for someone who hasn't done this in a WHILE! --and AS I'm writing this? I WAS going to comment/ask proper temps -- great follow up video fam! Thank you sir for premium content!

you have such a great attitude it made me smile 😄

Thanks for this high-quality (content and visual) video!!!

I enjoyed the tips but liked because of the cheesy smile in the cooler reflection. Great vid!

Building my first PC and got stuck here, thanks for the advice!!

This is super helpful!! Thank you 🙏🏻

I enjoyed your happy smiling disposition. Thanks for creating this video and sharing🙏👏

Well done, mate! Very clear, very helpful. I'll subscribe.

Thanks for the tip about overspill. Has potentially saved me from wrecking an old but much loved laptop 👍🙂👍

Thanks for the lesson my dude. And sweet SG also :)

Thanks for the simple explanation!! you help a newbie today! :D

surprisingly easy, thank you!!

Quick solid video, thank you!

In 4:20 he was holding the camera with his beard. No one will tell me otherwise. Great video man! Exactly what I needed!

Solid tutorial, haven’t changed my thermal paste ever since i got my pc (its been 4 years lol) wish me luck bois!

Omg. Your reflection in the cooler and the thumbs up lmfao. Nice work! And thanks for a complete walkthrough. And cautions about the AMD coolers!

Top tip for removing an old heat sink. Run the PC up for a few minutes. Then shut it down, and unplug it. The heat sink will pop off easily. The reason is when it is cold the paste sets like concrete. Running the PC for a few minutes heats up the CPU and, hence the paste. It will then be soft and will allow the CPU to be removed a lot more easily. :)

Good call about getting the sides of the cpu. I applied touch on my original installation and now I'm fixing the mess

Thanks, helped a lot, can we get a solo with that bass in the background next?

thanks johnny sins

Damn, a helpful guide AND entertaining humor? You earned the like and sub lol

I have a TIM cleaner, had it years now, does a great job of removing the old paste and I either apply paste like you did or sometimes I'll use the little card supplied to spread it 👍😁

Thanks, going to do my first cooler swap tomorrow. Also, that asymmetric grey pattern on the beard is cool. Makes you look like one of those superheroes with a gray streak strategically in the beard or hair.

When remove old paste, I use lint-less wipes and alcohol or pure acetone. Then after wipe it clean to remove any residue with a dry, soft lint-less wipe. When you use a cotton swab it can leave tiny fibers on the CPU so you have to wipe it off after cleaning. The same goes for cloth like micro fiber too.

Thanks bro my first build very helpfull

Man thought i clicked on a Guitar tutorial, Like & subbed!

Great tutorial, thank you!

I'm not native English guy but I like how someone says "reasonable amount". I can understand what that means lol but it's funny because like how do I know what is reasonable amount lol

Thanks man, was afraid to get it wrong =)

Ngl i watched like 10% of the video and then ventured off on my own (worked out well) and i still just wanna say thank you coz i probably would’ve had a hard time w the cleaning if it weren’t for you !!

Thanks,I do this when i get my CPU paste here,Ive ordered some of E bay,Ive also had my gaming computer in bits,Given it all a very good clean,the paste looks more than used,Given that and the grill a very good clean,I'm glad I got a spare gaming computer to use for now

You are amazing ❤️ ... clear descriptions.

Thanks so much dude! Put new thermal paste on my cpu after like 4 years or something. Anyways I definitely should've done it earlier lol.

I liked and subscribed just cause of the amazing smile in the nzxt reflection. :)

I know practically nothing about what’s inside my gaming PC. I had it built for me. It started to overheat recently, and after checking everything I could to fix it there was no denying it was the paste. Since I’m so ignorant in this category of life, I was sad and scared it was that. I didn’t even know where my CPU was. 😂 When you show what to remove my mind was blown! Haha So easy! My cooler came off so easily, and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for making this video! ❤

I can’t even open the thermal paste needle I don’t know how 💀

WOW, I am SO GLAD I found this before unscrewing my pre-built CPU cooler. I didn't realize mine had the simple screws that can be undone by hand, and I was looking at a COMPLETELY different set of screws that would've undone something else on the motherboard. 😬

Great tutorial and video! Thx!

Helpful. Thanks 👍

Hey mister I put the thermal paste without cleaning the old one, should I re do it?or is it fine cause the temps are lower than before

Can u still revive a computer that's lying around for three or so years though once you've applied too much thermal paste?

Just subscribed. Articulate, accurate, no nonsense. Thank you.

Very helpful! Thank you.

thank you very much. very clear explanation. new subscriber here.

Here goes a Big and Fat Thank You from me, bro! subscribed

Thank you so much! now I know what thermal paste is and how to apply it haha, cheers!

Thanks. When i built my pc last week i touched the corner of the stock paste and it imprinted my finger i thought it wasnt a bug deal but 95° unde load apparently isnt normal 😂. New paste and alc comng tomorow so will use this then.

I have to laugh I always watch these types of things and nobody ever has my computer until now you have my exact insides lol good vid ty

In your opinion, which option is more appropriate, thermal paste for the PlayStation 4 pro series 7218B console?

3:12 WHAT THE.

I have a prebuilt Aurora 7 and the thermal paste was seeping from the side with very little contact in the middle, the thermal paste was completely dry. I’m currently reapplying new thermal paste, No wonder my cpu was overheating lol

Thank you, that helps a lot!

His technical abilities are almost certainly outmatched by his guitar skills.

Thanks for this useful video!

Thanks for the video bro 👍👍

My thought exactly on the hook type of amd coolers, I might not get even spread/pressure, because of the slanted position of the first hook. Anyone got any tips on this?

Hi. Is it ok to use ethyl alcohol (the common alcohol) instead of the ispropyl one? Thanks

Thanks dude, I watched it once and I already understood and guess what, I did it really good! 10 celsius less after refreshing thermal paste. Lovely

Can I use rubbing alcohol as a substitute for isopropyl??

Dude!!! I SUBSCRIBED. Okay, okay, okay (in my worst Joe Pesci immination), sooo. I was looking for advice on applying CPU paste because evidently I did it wrong the first time and was getting 70c IDLE TEMPS! Anyways. I also happen to be a brand new guitarist, bought a few during the plandemic and been learning how to play for the last 8 months! So I find your video and low and behold there is a fender bass and a SWEEEEET SG on the wall and two Fender amps right behind you! Just $%$@&%$ AWESOME! I laughed when you looked into the NXT too, pretty funny. ROCK ON!

prefect brother

I didn't use a condom, now my capacitors are swollen ! 😒 My life is over. This was hilarious, was in the kitchen when this auto played for some reason, I do not regret finishing it one bit. You are a legend.

My brother recommended using coffee filters instead of paper towels. He also said that the higher the alcohol percent, the better. They might sell good ones at your local pharmacy

Ive got my heat paste through the post this afternoon,Just cleaned all the old heat paste of the CPU and replaced it with fresh new heat paste,Also had the biggest clean out in the gaming computer,Now get my other gaming computer re connected soon,Should be more powerful now

dude if i brought a new pc, is it important to put themal paste or the processor and cooling fan already having??

I just bought an AIO for my R7 3700X and i'm literally scared like hell because i need to put thermal paste on it and clean my cpu .. haven't done that before in my life. this video explains it very good, im gonna watch it again when my aio arrives on friday. Hopefully i dont make any mistakes.

Thanks!

Do i have to apply it further with my finger and even out the dot or just put the thermal paste there as a dot and then straight away press it using a cooler ? Please tell me

Tip - pour a teaspoon of the alcohol onto the coolers copper base. Wait 10 seconds, then clean it. It will come off muuuuch easier.

I'll be do this in a day when I finally get my mbo!

Short and good tutorial, tnx! Btw do you think more expensive paste will do better then cheap one? (performance mby)

So what should I do if I applied my paste but didn’t have the chance to immediately put it on due to fan issue and I had to put the fan on and off like twice and after figuring it out my fans and stuff works when I turn on my pc but not my monitor it won’t turn on does that mean I ahve to redo thermal paatjng

thank you dude your video was very useful now my cpu temperature is 18 Celsius lower than before on full load , prop should have done this sooner 😅

Thx I finally changed my 12 years old thermal paste

Thanks bro this help me alot

2:36 Nobody is going to talk about this? 😂 Great vid btw thanks so much!

Can you store the thermal paste for later use? How often should you reapply the paste? Thank you!

Omen 15 owner here, thinking of re-pasting, just a question.I got 3 tubes of mx 4 4 years ago, I opened one to use a tiny bit. Does thermal paste go bad? Can I use the remainder of the opened tube?

Great 👍

hello guys please i don't have a thermal paste so i used the shea butter at home instead, is it going to affect my pc performance or what, although I have not notice any temperature drop, i still got 95% while gaming, thanks
