Is the heatsink made out of pure copper or nickel plated copper?
If yes, then no problem. Just try sanding "wiping" the copper or nickel plating with 1500 grit sandpaper to make the surface rough, then clean it off fully, and then take about 10...
I feel like I dodged a bullet not using this stuff in the early days, I like to give high performance paste a try.
Early reports of it destroying alluminium and ingress into copper gave me pause.
In the end I settled on Thermagic Ex ZF-Extreme...
Not saying its impossible but: I haven't heard of any issues with a copper heatsink "welding" to a CPU or GPU chip. It will certainly tarnish both the copper heatsink and the chip.
Otherwise, PS5 uses liquid metal. I have an RTX 2060 which has...
Yeah.
It was more on the temp side then trying to squeeze more performance. I have my pc inside a spare closet and even under volting I'm still not satisfied with the temps.
Thanks guys.
Going to say…. Sure you can do it (depending on the heatsink material). But I don’t think it is worth it. Sure, you will drop a few degrees, however, I don’t think you will see a super noticeable increase in performance.
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if it would be okay to replace my regular thermal paste with liquid metal on the stock cooler. I was worried about any corrosion between the liquid metal and the heatsink material.
Thanks
It is extremely heavy in my experience, but more in the sense that your old 4 core would not be able too, not that a threadrippers could not.
Often if you go the 4k road it is to have 50-100 mbs/HDR type of content has well which is quite every...
I think (almost) any CPU can transcode. J5005 (low power quad core) was able to transcode source 4k vp9 from youtube on 2 of the cores at 87% cpu usage after buffer was filled (virtual machine). My main server (VM still) 6 cores of E5-2690v4 ate...
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
It's a really cool co-op 2D space shooter, where each player mans one station at a time in the same ship. So you have to work together to navigate, operate shields, guns, etc. You can move between the stations...
