🎉p 😁😁

oh no; yes that is quite important. Did it survive?

Yup , peaked 85 C every time no matter the load . I applied the paste now , idle is 40 C and full load is 70 C

jeez yeah 85c is super hot, although im actually surprised it stayed there and never went over 100c, which then it would be toast. I imagine it underclocked itself or the machine shutdown to survive? now those temps look more normal.

Oh no! Glad your CPU survived though

was it a pre built?

F

Uh oh

What happens if i scraped it, i thought it was dirt

NightcoreTV I guess you'd better buy some marshmallows to cook over your fire 👀

@@nightcoretv696 You apply fresh paste. Easily available off of any computing store, just put a little dab and put the heatsink back on. EDIT: It's called thermal paste

glad to help! yeah they're pretty tough

@@DouglasHewitt hey man. I removed it so i could reach the dust but. Do i need to put new paste on again? Its still on there but isn't it damaged or something? I don't know what to do and don't dare to put my Pc on if its harmfull for him :*(

@@trevorphillips2250 yeah typically once the paste is cracked by separating the heatsink and exposed to the air it hardens and becomes less effective and won't bond correctly anymore; so you want to clean it off and re apply fresh new thermal paste

@@DouglasHewitt thanks for responding man :) i will clean it and apply new paste on it :D i'm going to install a Radeon 5700 xt in it to to replace my 580 series. Hope its better for vr gaming/normally gameplay

@@trevorphillips2250 nice! yeah that will be a solid upgrade. What CPU do you have?

Damn 6 years

For me 5 years now, sometimes get hardware crash every blue moon, I just got some tasty pasta but was wondering why the heatsink wouldn't budge, just needed some rotational power

Mine is STILL in my pc for 9 years. Haven't had too much problem in a long time, maybe because I invested on fans (?). Was planning in changing CPU (mine is i3) until i realized I also was needing to change the thermal paste, but it is a good thing that you already change the thermal paste with the CPU. Pretty surprised and glad that my pc wasn't performing poorly or crashing.

Just press the clip on the side

@@curpassamuelalin6751 the clip inside is veing blocked by a circle thingy and it might break off

sad face

did u kill ur cpu yet? with the stock cooler

@@kaizer2k2 No and the stock cooler should be fine, maybe add a an extra fan and you should be good.

@@Franktasy7 i'm fine I got a i9 running at 45c with corsair h100i liquid cooler. i'm fixing up a buddies pc with an i5 and stock cooler. I guess its fine if ur not stressing ur pc every single day.

@@kaizer2k2 Very nice PC you got their! Also it should definitely be fine with the stock cooler and no issues if he isn't doing high end gaming for a long time, everyday things should be perfectly fine :)

@@Franktasy7 ya its suppose to be a work desktop, so i'm just giving it a refresh with new os and some hardware. cheers!!

nice!

Glad it helped

nice

nice were you successful?

@@DouglasHewitt I think he died in the process :(

@@finlay9238 lol :(

thanks man! hows it working? a big improvement i bet!

Waaaaaayyy better, especially combined with our new, much faster router.

nice! thats awesome

Wait you needed your dad to help you?

@Bello sex

haha, nice

same

yes, you want everything clean / new thermal paste

glad to help!

i see this now that i removed the psu and am having trouble removing the heatsink cause its stuck, thanks tho

haha you're welcome

hmm haven't tried that but it makes sense. Just be sure you don't touch any metal thats too hot.

nice! glad it helped, yeah I dunno who designed these things. Oh wow, guess from the factory it had too much paste

it should be fine free standing, the slot has enough grip and the card is pretty small and light

You can use the pre applied thermal paste. However, if there is no thermal paste because you need to remove the cpu or some other reason, then just put a pea size of thermal paste onto the cpu and no thermal paste on the heatsink as when the heatsink with fan comes down onto the cpu, it will squish the thermal paste out between the cpu and the heatsink. Just make sure you don't use too little of thermal paste. As far as using too much, you really would have to go all out in order for it to affect anything. Linus tech tips did a video on how much thermal paste you need and what is considered "too much."

sure! I just dont have one of those

oh glad it helped for that as well

you can.. might want to redo the thermal paste, it depends. want to see how sticky it still is and how much or if it dried already.

@@DouglasHewitt I don't think you should ever reuse thermal paste. Clean it off with isopropyl alcohol from both surfaces and reapply the thermal paste to the IHS. If you reuse old paste, even if it isn't dry, there may be air bubbles in it which reduce the effectiveness of heat transfer.

I wouldn't've taken that approach but hey if it works for you..... 😆👌

gotta just keep trying, wiggling it and all that, any luck?

It did work, but not with wiggling, the pins were bent :/ I had to open the back of my pc to bend the pins back xD had a bit trouble putting jt back, but I did it! Thank you for your advice❤️ I appreciate it!

nice! @@Wurstenikk

So usually electrostatic is never an issue, to be safe touch a grounded metal object, like a metal computer case plugged into a wall, this will discharge any static electricity in your body. You can also get a electrostatic mat and wristband to be extra safe, its not necessary though. Removing the heatsink, you should not have to worry about bent pins. As this video shows just rock the heatsink a bit to break the thermal paste and then when its loose pull straight up, you will feel it break free.

you want to touch the processor by the edges, with bare hands is fine, just don't touch the underside

It might be unavoidable, you may need to access the intel cooler plastic pins behind the motherboard to close them manually to get them to come out safely. You get it sorted?

You're welcome!

No problem 👍

Genius

hmmm, probably just need a new / different fan heatsink. The intel stock ones are honestly not good. I don't use them anymore.

Same problem

@@FaceNapalm i resolved it with some heat but it took 30 minutes and it almost fan burnt

@@mita4199 Oof, that's rough. Fortunately I solved it by just gently rotating the fan back and forth, after about a minute it starting coming off

yeah! that's the trick

get it sorted? sometimes needs some wiggling

probably, why would you want to though? are there fans you can mount to a vanilla intel heatsink?

always use new therman paste.

yep, always clean and then fresh coat

heck yeah, best multi tool (because its the one always in my pocket)

hmm can you just pull the hair out? not sure how to disassemble the plastic and the fan, that would be an endeavor which may not be able to put it back together

I mean its basically that or just a dry lint free cloth of some kind. You dont want to use any water or water based cleaner

Da Boss I don't think so. I just clean off the paste as soon as you get a good shot

yep, just remove the heat sink/fan, no need to remove the CPU to clean. in this case a small amount of rubbing alcohol with lint free / microfiber cloth would be good

are you wanting to use it like that? it might not be good since it won't have an even grip and the thermal paste might not have good even contact. If you just removing it to replace it then no worries

definitely

as in are you removing the heatsink and then reattaching it? yes that would reduce efficiency. if thermal paste is new and still gooey, like you just installed it, and then re seat it, you might be ok. If its been on a while and hardened and then you remove it breaking the cake like texture, thats really bad to reattach it, it will not cool properly, you need to clean it all off and use new thermal paste

you should reapply new thermal paste
