Thank you man we spent almost 2 hours trying to replace a CPU fan and every time we thought it was locked in it would still move everywhere. We watched about 20 different videos on KZfaq and none of them explained it as well as you did

Great vid! I plan on doing this tomorrow, I’ll be taking it out of a working pc. Do I need to disconnect the cpu power also, or would it be ok just disconnecting the fan? Thanks

The best way to apply thermal paste is in an “X” shape. This point in the middle does not spread across the entire cpu. It would be interesting if you made a video showing these variations. Thanks!

@daniell1869 6 ай бұрын

i've read the exact opposite. a pea sized dab in the middle will spread evenly out when correct pressure applied and not allow for any air bubbles like an X shape would

@gemzuchiru3760 4 ай бұрын

it doesnt matter tbh as when the CPU heats up it should help the paste spread out a bit more plus whatever was squished into shape by the heatsink@@daniell1869

I read that you should let the cpu and cooler dry for a few hours after cleaning them with some iso? Is that true? Seems dry to me and I want to get going on slapping this back together.

Would it be fine if I use paper towels and ethanol ?

@Yumerifter Жыл бұрын

do you need to remove the motherboard to change the thermal paste?

@lulutat261 Жыл бұрын

Typically no, your cpu should be attached to the motherboard and shouldn't need to remove your motherboard in the process of changing the thermal paste. Most cases will open up and allow you to access your cpu cooler and replace the thermal paste.

is the blue paper a specific product? or is it just a regular paper towel that happens to be blue?

@Bryzerse 11 ай бұрын

Pretty sure it's just a paper towel, though those blue ones tend to leave less stray fibres I notice

I accidentally got a tiny bit of thermal paste on the blue edges of my Intel CPU. Its wedged along that edge where the silver heatsink and the blue part meet and I can't get it out. Is that going to be a problem?

I just did this, when I start the computer log in etc my cpu pc fan starts going crazy, it’s so loud and going at full speed how do u fix this?

@LethalWalou Ай бұрын

Bit late perhaps but check bios whether the fan is set to run at high speed and lower it down. I struggled with temps on old PC during summer so I cranked the fan to run high speed and it was noticeably louder.

@@LethalWalou Hello, so after this comment i fixed it pretty easily. Just had to put on some more thermal paste and it fixed the problem. Thank you for the comment tho

Only lasting 3 years? That’s not much,i wonder if there is no alternative way to keep a cpu cool from overheating such as heating conducting alluminum along with a cooling fan on top of it,that may should do the trick but it may require a faster cooling fan i suppose.

@awagel 10 ай бұрын

That's a good number if you use your PC to play demanding games

@LethalWalou Ай бұрын

My thermal paste lasted 12 years until I built a whole new PC, and temps didn't get that much higher. I could counteract the higher temps with fan speed anyways. Could play games normally.

Wow! They've never improved on this. /SMH/ The worst cooler design in the history of cooler designs- and that includes everything. Even a Model T Ford has a better cooler design. This is so "scratchy" and "ghetto", mistakes are frequent! I can't recall how many people have broken these or the countless amounts of damage was caused cause of these clunky mechanisms over the past 2 decades. Just abysmal really. I'll send my clients to this video so they can be prepared to install this f*er.
