I put together an internal diode reader for palomino core AMD chips this weekend and have been playing around with it. If you are serious about knowing temps, test cooling gear, or are just a geek (I ...

Developing high-power electronic devices with their simultaneous miniaturization is of critical importance. Consequently, the compactness in computers calls for higher integration of transistors ...

Noctua recommends a single dot at the middle, spanning 3 to 4 mm for proper coverage of the entire IHS. AMD's AM5 CPU requires a dot-sized paste application only. This is a drastic change from the ...

Noted hardware guru igor'sLAB has finally put the thermal paste application argument to rest. Apparently, it's best to apply the thermal paste in a straight line. At least for GPUs. Harish Kumar M ...

If you're building a computer, you need thermal paste, or heat paste, to ensure that your computer's processor doesn't overheat. It's a gloopy, silvery material that you squirt between the processor ...

I just built a computer and I seated the heatsink on the CPU. Following the instructions I coated the top of the processor with thermal paste. The entire CPU is covered with the paste. I have heard ...

For something as basic as thermal paste, people sure believe in a lot of myths about it. I mean, the role and impact of the TIM (thermal interface material) on your PC's performance isn't remotely as ...

In context: One of the oldest debates among PC builders concerns the correct or most effective way to apply thermal paste. A single blob, multiple blobs, a cross, or a butter spread? Igor's Lab ...

In terms of thermal paste testing, I've put my CPU through the ringer in the last 12 months. Living in Canada, we have some pretty vast temperature changes, even indoors. My PC li ...

TL;DR: Thermal Grizzly has launched Duronaut, a high-performance thermal paste with exceptional thermal conductivity and long-term stability. Its unique composition allows for thin application, ...
