The LAST Thermal Paste you'll ever need??

Can I use it on my laptop? Really curious.

you can get other sizes for AMD cpu etc

4:40 Linus: “Oh you’ve finished first. Now I feel awkward.”
Me: “That’s what she said!” 😂

there is many sizes of this pad now

The dick-jokes killed me XD "He is a good mount" took me a while to get, but the others were genuely awesome xD

Been using this pad now on my 8700k for 7 months. No issues at all, absolutely love it

can I use double mint buble gum pads?

does this work for laptop cpus?

Mayonnaise or Vomit works well as heat transfer for CPU cooling for me, never exceeds 49C even in 4K games.
Mayonnaise and Vomit contain dexotrantos and Phenytriades which both dissipate heat quickly in laboratory studies from Cal Tech 1997,1998.

Anatoly Dyatlov - you didn’t see any graphite

3:25 when u don't take ur physics class seriously

Don't go/come dry use KY jelly.

Size does matter, Linus! :-)

Can this be applied to GPU memory to replace thermal pads?

7:40 .... you're welcome lmao great video all around!

What if it does not fit my CPU?

Also, if this pad is so great, then if you ask me a licenseing deal would be their best play. Why not license this to every CPU, and cooling companys out there? This shit should come pre mounted on everything you buy. Imo!

So are you going to stop using thermal paste and just use the pads? I guess the answer wasnt very clear to me. Should I buy this?

the quest is, can you stack them xD ? ( so using 2 or 3)

I got some of Panasonic carbon thermal pad material Digikey # P14965-ND THERM PAD 180MMX115MM W/ADH GRAY 0.0008" (0.020mm) The thinner the carbon pad the better the transfer vertically if you read the specs. I used it as a cpu thermal transfer on a Intel 9600K in place of thermal compound. It is easy to cut since it has a removable mylar backing. With the mylar removed it holds together and has a slight adhesive so it stays in place. You can peel it off to reposition if you need to. I could not see any difference in the cpu temperatures after application. One sheet is 4.5" X 8" so you can do a good number of cpu's with one sheet.

This seems great for reviewers and people who constantly test different coolers and chips.

I luv Being a #Nerd and Every Nerd..Specially the Ones @ #LTT... You Guys Are Amazingly The #Nerdest Of Us All...Keep It Up ☝....

most people use core i processors
so np

has anyone seen these pads again in any linus video?

So... can I put this on my iPad pros?

This product has HUGE potential in gaming systems and laptops. Theoretically, thermal paste only lasts 1-3 years. After that, it usually starts degrading in thermal conductivity. Imagine if gaming system and laptop manufacturers used this from the factory. No more need to re-paste!

THANK YOU LINUS... I'm sold. I've been pondering these for a few days on eBay now and you've helped me decide, So I hit the Amazon link and BOOM should be here tomorrow. thank you once again for your very in-depth product review. you're my favorite RU-clipr you know. next to barneculese or how ever you spell his name lol thanks again Linus you rock. 🤘😁🤘
UPDATE
so i got it and installed it and now my PC runs around 30-35 c at idle vs 45-50 AND my PC didn't cut off on the 2nd pass when running auto tune in the AMD overdrive tab in Catalyst, it made it 3 passes then I put in a beefier stock cpu cooler, "Wish I had a 120 watt wraith" and it survived at 3 1/2 pass then. won't go any further until I get a wraith and hope I can get it to 5ghz as I seen others do, but so far it's at 3.9 instead of 3.4 even if i just get it to 4.5 I'll be happy 😁

What if you put both the pad and thermal paste together? 'winter is coming'

I have the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and it came with a pad. I used paste instead and the temp was between 45-50 after a while i decided to use the pad and my temp was between 48-55. I tried a graphite pad the other day and my CPU is running at 55-62 temperature, so i am guessing the paste is the best to use.

I would _love_ to see it tested as an actual thermal pad replacement on GPU's memory and VRMs. Who's with me??

Linus what is the best thermal paste for laptop noctua ht-h2 or Thermal grizlly kryonaut?

Honestly, we need new technology to get rid of those really stupid, really bizarre and boring things, such as those thermal pastes. We have this for decades... it's time to change.

Great product and product testing video. I used this on my new gaming PC I just built in May 2019. (Ryzen 2700 idles at 34 and heats up to around 58 with Prime95 running). Then I bought a 2nd pad when I installed a larger CPU cooler on a prebuilt Lenovo I'm improving for my wife. (Web and office use - removed dust, moved OS to SSD, added 2 case fans and installed larger CPU cooler onto an A10 7800).

That awkward moment when linus said at 7:57 "YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE DIE-AREA (Diarrhea) ! " *followed by a big pause !!! :(

"How professionals patchwork themselves..." 🗨😏💠🌡🌠

finally!! i product for those who complain about "too much thermal paste"

“An advantage to this dry approach is that theres no liquids”
Thanks Linus.

Hello. Thouse pads are in 2 sizes. 40x40mm and 30x30mm. If my procesor is 37mm then i need smaler one ?

#linus get an engineer ( chemical one like me or me ) to work with you...

Last TIM is the one you add to the delidded cpu when you decide to run it naked.

I think it would be pretty easy to shift out of place when "mounting" cooler, it looked that way when you "engaged" cooler. People will be like it works great, but you have to still use a dab a thermal paste..

Try permatex high temperature thread scellant seriously.

I do not understand that it is better to put a thermal pad than not to put anything.

The biggest advantage is it's reusable plus no chance of drying out unlike pastes.

That looks like duct tape

Please revisit this with a threadripper!

What about using this between the IHS and the die after a delid? That would be interesting to see.

This was something sony developed years back but with carbon fiber which was the precursor for the graphene sheets of today, in 2012 and they still use it for their high end flagship devices (phones, TV's etc for example). At the time of testing it beat average thermal paste by a long margin at the time, only high end TIM (X23-7783D, or IC diamond with perfect application or Indigo xtreme could compete. However the sheets were not available for sale and cost me nearly $105 for a single tiny sheet from Sony which was good for 3 applications (could be reused however). The difference in performance however was negated when using it on lapped heatsinks/IHS and most good TIM's like AS5.

This was a year ago now, but it's like some grandmother in the 1960s trying to explain quantum physics because she heard about it on the radio. I've never seen anyone with less knowledge of computers and physics on RU-clip.

Every time these two host together their is very high sexual tensions....

I get 20 degrees lower w/ paste

You know the difference between
Thermal *Pad* vs Thermal *Paste*
You have it 🤔

I bought a pack of these graphite cpu pads off of Amazon. Wiped the cpu clean and put this thing on. Absolute disaster.. Prior to installing this thing, any game I ran the normal operating temperature would range anywhere from 45 to 55 celcius with video settings on high. After installing the pad, operating temps were spiking over 100 celcius and would crash my computer. CPU is a core i7-4790K with a Corsair H100 cooler and a EVGA Ge Force GTX 970. Removed the graphite pad and went back to thermal paste. Temperatures back to 45 - 50 Celcius.

That pad ins't a new innovation. i have come across those kind of pads in older electronics.

I'm guessing because it's thick it wouldn't be good to use in a laptop

4:40 -That's what she said.

this thing is amazing with Vega 64. The temps of the so called hot spot is much closer to gpu core temp, like 10C between them at full load. With a thermal paste the difference depends on the paste's thickness, the more liquid the paste the worse, but yeah it could be +20C over the gpu core, even more hitting 100C mark. I love these times when new technology is actually so useful.
But be careful, the pad needs to be exact size of the gpu die and hardest of them all is to carefully apply the heatsink back on your gpu so the pad doesn't move around, otherwise the cooling will be worse and it also conducts electricity and may short something. On the CPU is much easier to apply so highly recommended.

What about on a gpu

That heatsink is overcompensating for something...

Some day his kids are going to see these.

i wouldnt trust it, thermal paste was made to specifically fill gaps between your cpu and your heat sync. When i did my research apparently sometimes even though it might not look it the surface of your cpu is supposedly not 100% flat. I was working on my new Eluktronics laptop and in which i found one of these and was like WTF IS THAT, and it lead me here. Thanks for the info guys knowing that its conductive makes me even more not trust it thanks!

Definitely should be used for consistent cooler testing imo

See it Linus ru-clip.com/video/TswYnd0Nu6Q/video.html

Could we use those graphite pad for VRM cooling?

How about if you combine those things?

what about oils from your hands getting on the pad when you handle it.. not concerned?

i become wet everytime i see alex..

So let me get this right. I'd pay $10 a pop PER CPU OR GPU, which is going to total over $100 for what I have running now, or I can just use a $5 grease to cover them all and only lose 3 degrees? No contest, only a fool would blow money on this product, or someone into a very extreme overclocking contest where the winner gets to move out of his mom's basement. ;)

2:41
"oh im coming im coming oh shit!!"
LOL

Lying Linus * o *

Coming back to this video thanks to Science Studios and now they are making different sizes for other chips

I bought and used this cooling pad when testing out and comparing different processors on my motherboard. I only saw about a 2 degree rise in temperature versus paste. Another con is that the pad would slide around when installing the cooler. It was hard to keep centered on the CPU during installation cuz the damn thing was so thin and there was nothing holding it in place

How is graphite compared to delid + liquid metal?

I don't like to mount dry. the wetter the better.

Got this for a mini itx build with an i7 4770/1050 ti 4gb combo. It's cool as a cucumber with a noctua air cooler.

fuck me i dropped the thing on the dirty floor 3 times lol

Drop test?

I bought a new IC Diamond paste last week and then I come across this video, but I'll still be staying with the paste for now :)

thermal paste what's great for nzxt x62

i thought you are gonna use toothpaste!

Whole point of thermal grease is been able to feel all those completely unseen micro-gaps on CPU and cooler's surface. Would that not be done it will have non-conductive air in those gaps.
More importantly - no sensors would show you something terribly wrong, if those gaps remain un-feel. But nevertheless it would cause more stress on CPU, potentiality causing micro-damage, which obviously in time will grow only bigger.
Pads like that will never be able to replace thermal grease.
Can it conduct heat - sure, you really don't need to convince me in that. But it simply will never get as much contact with CPU and cooler as grease dose. And as such in long terms drastically ineffective.

So was this IC Diamond thermal paste you compared the thermal pad with liquid paste or regular stuff?

I prefer that fat man.. he knows everything

Lol if you just studied 9th class physics you should of know thermal conductivity......😪😪😪

hold on what about using it in place of normal thermal pads on vrms and stuff?

i actually bought one of these. i get the same temps as paste, or slightly lower!! works great! !
paste idle - 30-32c throttle- 60c
IC graphite pad idle - 20-26c throttle - 55c

"that's just it"

Linus sexual innuendo charged jokes tech tips

If copper is better at transferring heat between the CPU and heatsink why don't companies use copper in there thermal paste

why are you not using it then? Why no one on earth is using it? I bought it and i like it. Wouldnt it be PERFECT for all sort of tests because there is no "wrong" way to apply it?

The verge is gonna be stocking up on this

I woundet what would happen if you delid
a processor and used a Graphite Thermal Pad instead of liquid metal and put the two pieces back together again.

there are things in this world that feels naturel to mount dry lol GOOD ONE
interesting video

WHat would happen if you combine this with liquid metal?

Can I use this on a laptop 💻

7:58 hehe he said "Diarrhea"

RIP tunnelbear

can you delid with this?

Why didn't you guys mention they used pads like this for ceramic CPUs but they were one time only cause the heat would thin them out and bond the heat sink and ceramic together best way to remove was when hot
