1 gallon = 3,785.4118 grams. Simplify to 3,785.4 grams

Artic silver Thermal paste costs $6.10 for 3.5 grams

3,785.4 x 51 = 193,055.4 grams.

193,055.4 / 3.5 = 55,158.68 tubes of thermal paste. Simplify to 55,159 as you cant buy 6/10 of a tube.

55,159 x $6.10 = $336,469.90 Considerable amount more for Artic silver thermal paste then a GPU.

Granted this is using a specific type of paste, you can buy mobiltherm 5 gallons for $112.00 but that is not designed for PC use, tho it would probably work.

u/waldojim42 · 4 pointsr/Alienware

Ok, if you don't feel comfortable doing the work, then having someone else do it is best. However, it generally isn't that hard if you take your time.

I use a Craftsman small screwdriver set like that one, and have for years. Yes, there are cheaper tools. But I happen to like these.

There is a guide on how to tear into your machine, available right here.

It will take you step by step what you need to take apart. Click on the Prerequisites for section "removing heat sink assembly." It will show you what all has to be torn down to get to that part, and remove it.

Then, clean the old paste off with a lint free cloth, and decent rubbing alcohol. I avoid 70% at all costs. I prefer my 99.9% stuff, but have used 80% when in a bind. Make sure it dries completely before you continue. Pure stuff dries very quickly, less pure can take some time.

Then apply the new paste as a thin line about the length of a grain of rice. Don't smear it, try to spread it, or anything else UNLESS it is specifically designed for that (liquid metals come to mind). Then, reassemble. Be careful to ensure the heat spreader is attached evenly, with appropriate pressure.

Undervolting allows you to reduce the heat of the chip by running at voltages lower than it was designed for. Ideally, this shouldn't have to be done. Assuming a decent paste job, you won't. If you do find yourself in the position where that needs done, then use Intel XTU to adjust the voltage in small increments, and run Prime 95 in the background to monitor the results. If the machine becomes unstable, or starts throttling, you went too far.

What you need:
Screw drivers

Lint free cloth (some people use coffee filters, or even paper towels)

Alcohol

Paste (I use IC7 Diamond these days. Works very well on my machines. Arctic Silver 5 is still decent stuff, as is Gelid Extreme. There are others, and I am sure someone else will chime in with their favorites)

Clean, static reducing/non static working environment

u/booga_booga_partyguy · 3 pointsr/IndianGaming

If your CPU temps are running high, then the problem might be that you need to reapply the thermal paste. I recommend using this one:

https://www.amazon.in/Arctic-Silver-Thermal-Compound-3-5G/dp/B0087X728K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521901142&sr=8-1&keywords=artic+silver

Also, are you using the stock CPU fan that came with it, or are you using a something else?

For what it's worth, CPUs are usually very robust pieces of tech, as in it takes an extraordinary amount of abuse for them to become defective. It could just be you got a rare bad one, but odds are your thermal paste has become hard and needs to be reapplied.

u/weirdlooking · 3 pointsr/computing

You do not need the exact same cooler. CPUs are built for specific "sockets". The one you linked is a 1150 socket cooler. So you can use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Cooler-LGA1150-1155-E97378-001/dp/B00BQ1C4SS

The cooler that I linked does not have pre-applied thermal paste(some do). So you would need to clean away the old paste and apply new paste such as: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/

Their are quite a few video guides on how to replace the cooler for your computer if want to make sure your are not applying to little or to much paste. Im not sure i would be able to link any in your native language though.

u/Knight_of_autumn · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

Wow, according to the claimed data the Grizzly is 4x more thermally conductive than the Diamond!

But then Arctic Silver claims numbers almost 30,000 times that. WHAT?!

u/chickenwafflez · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I've always had good results with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. Use the highest % of isopropyl alcohol you can get at your local drug store and a soft cloth/paper towel to remove the old paste. Don't use too much when applying the new paste.

u/friendly_jerk · 2 pointsr/pcgamingtechsupport

When you installed the Kraken, did you use the factory thermal paste? If so, I recommend removing it and using something like Arctic Silver.

u/LanZx · 2 pointsr/buildapc

You can get some for 7 bucks in Amazon. Link

Also you'll need some 90% Isopropyl to clean of the existing paste


Here's a video on reapplying the paste

Arctic Silver 5

If you have a local tech shop they'll have some in stock

u/idunowat23 · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme

I've put together two mini ITC builds. One with a cpu upgrade and one that just reuses your current cpu.

1) $525: i5-9600K upgrade


u/SuperAngryGuy · 2 pointsr/SpaceBuckets

That combo will work for a 5 gallon Space Bucket as long as you have a spacer or two since 60 watts with a gen 7 Vero is going to produce a lot of light.

You will be over driving the Vero 18 a little but they are well designed for that. You will want a good thermal paste, though.

https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K

Now you need to find a heat sink and you should then have a nice light combo for a 5 gallon bucket. As per application notes, the Vero 18 can be used with a thermal epoxy so you can glue the Vero 18 to a heat sink if you don't want to drill/tap. Thermal adhesives are permanent.

u/AGentlemanWalrus · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

ALRIGHT! Sorry for just getting back to you I've been trying to reply and mobile and kept accidentally deleting what i typed while trying to format my response. So had to move to the Laptop.

Anyways when I say you should repaste I'm referring to the action of removing the heatsink from the CPU and GPU clearing the provided "thermal paste/grease" (thermal paste or grease depending to who you talk to is a thermally conductive paste that is meant to be between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink to fill the airgap and conduct heat to the sink better.) from both and applying new paste. Here is also a video guide on how to apply thermal paste it doesn't pertain specifically to your laptop but gives you a good idea on how its done.

Now when it comes to your device I took the liberty of looking up the service manual and found a video guide on how to disassemble down the the motherboard here. If you've never done anything like this before it can be a little daunting, but if you have a friend with some experience it shouldn't be more than a few hours project and the outcome should be considerably better than before.

If you are going to go this route there are a few thermal pastes that everyone recommends and everyone has their own opinions but as I stated before any of these will be better than what you originally had so buy whatever fits your budget.

Artic Silver 5

IC-Diamond

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

Prolimatech PK-3

There are plenty of others but any of these will do you good, with a major recommendation to the Silver 5 due to bang for the buck.

After all that and you decide that maybe you don't want to do a repaste (and even if you did repaste I'm still recommending this) you are going to want to get a laptop cooling pad. The reason is due to the nature of laptops and how compact they are sometimes depending on the surface they are laid on they do not get enough air to cool properly, dropping your performance into the shitter. I have a similarly spec'd laptop to yours (Lenovo Y50 4700hq and 860m) and I use the Notepal XSlim its not the best but it does the job and for $18 I can't complain. There are others but buy what feels right to you.

Sorry for the long winded post I hope this helps you some, and I hope you can get your laptop performance back as you have a more than capable laptop. Let me know if you need anything else!

u/Hicrayert · 1 pointr/PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Yes, you might only need a screw driver and I would 100% buy some black thin zip ties at the $1 store near you. Oh shit now that you mention it you should absolutely get this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087X728K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1H9NMCPZH97BO
the stock thermal compound that comes with the CPU is normally garbage and this will lower your cpu temps by 10*. There is a reason ther are over 5000 5 star reviews on it. also if you dont have your own copy you will need to buy windows and barrow a disk drive to load it onto your computer. other then that all cables will come with parts. most will come with the PSU. Cables for connecting a monitor will come with the mobo and the gpu, some with the case. The case its self comes with fans already. you get the idea.

u/serratemplar · 1 pointr/RetroPie

I am, yea. I picked up a JBTek Transparent "case" which is really just two transparent acrylic plates with four posts (i.e. no walls) and a fan. (The case didn't come with instructions but the Amazon listing comments had instructions with photos from other customers which was a huge help.) I also got some a uxcell 25mmx25mmx15mm heatsink which I stuck on with Artic Silver thermal paste. Note that I mounted the fan pointing inwards which is the inverse of their photo, because it's better for cooling. (Same reasons you point your CPU's fans to blow in and not out.)

I no longer see the temp warnings. :) Didn't involve any soldering either, which made me happy.

(Sorry for the massive delay; real-life's giving me a beating.)

u/jnutt9 · 1 pointr/thinkpad

I used this --AS5 so that (I think...) is good. I basically just opened up Prime95 and let it do its thing. Utilization of each core was at 100% (and all were at 3594 MHz). iGPU shows 649MHz at 91 C (no percentage shown).

Downloading TPFC right now and will run again for a bit. Honestly, I may not have done the screws in the right order on the way back, but I did make sure that they all were tightened (not forced at all, but patterned in).

u/EldeederSFW · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you really want to buy thermal paste, Arctic Silver 5 seems to have ridiculously good reviews on Amazon. It's what I just used swapping out my 7700k for an 8700k. Seems to do the trick.

u/TheNitromunkey · 1 pointr/buildapc

What would you consider a good daily voltage for the 8700k?


Also I'm an idiot and just had to look up what delidding is. Would this stuff be good to use? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087X728K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/imkylar · 1 pointr/buildapc

I bought the cooler, because I found a stable 4.0ghz OC on my 1600, but the temps just weren't what I wanted, so I toned it back to 3.8. Also, a friend of mine has a 1800x he said he'll sell to me for a very good price when the new gen comes out.

I was able to get my RAM to 2933 with good timings (suppose I was lucky there), plus I got both for only $150 with sales.

As for the 1070, that's something I'm wanting. I want to sell my 1060 while prices are still a bit up, and get the 1070 when the new gen comes out, but then I'd just be left with a PC that can't do anything until then...

I also have this paste that I never used- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087X728K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edit: I also didn't want to go fan cooler, because I am a bit of an aesthetics person, which yes, does hurt the wallet a bit, but it's so satisfying to me when I see something that I really wanted, and looks just how I'd like it to. It makes it worth it for me.

u/Gunmetalz · 1 pointr/buildapc

I want to clarify something here, by "riser," do you mean the x-brace for the back of the board that Intel coolers use?

The rest of this comment assumes you meant that.

>Was running with a stock intel CPU cooler without risers.

I don't think the stock cooler comes with the X-brace.

>my CPU cooler broke.

I'm terribly sorry this has happened to you.

>it seems a lot of replacements use screws with risers.

Yeah the aftermarket coolers all need this big honking x-brace on the back of the board. Don't worry, they all come with the parts and things.

>Also do I have to buy thermal paste if I buy the cooler

Absolutely. Most coolers come with some janky-ass thermal paste already applied at the factory... but uhhh honey, that don't impress me much, you know what I'm saying? Buy your own. Here's an expensive kind, here's a cheap kind. Yes, there's a performance difference.

u/svenge · 1 pointr/buildapc

Arctic Silver 5 is decent enough and readily available for a modest price.

So uhh in case that link doesn't work, Arctic Silver thermal paste, 7 bucks. It's one of the best you can get.

u/yayoirc · 1 pointr/computers

If you change the CPU like others mention it won't make much of a difference however you will have the oppportunity to clean things up and reapply new thermal compound I always use this stuff. For 8 bucks though it's not a big loss. You can run benchmark before and after to see.

Also consider you need a 64 bit OS when increasing the memory size beyond 3 GB. I assume you were loading it with four modules, you could get these instead with faster timings for gaming for about the same price. The heatsinks look cool, and in my opinion matter but others say they don't do much!

Another piece of advice is if you are faced with upgrading the BIOS to accept the chip or memory, do not flash it from an operating system.

A cheap SSD for the OS and two games would also do justice. You can use your existing drive for storage.

u/DaBombDiggidy · 1 pointr/nvidia

Clean out the vents on your case.

Get canned air and blow out all the dust.

Make sure all your fans are spinning.

Make sure your desktop is in a well-ventilated and air conditioned area.

Remove the heatsink, clean it and the top of the CPU and then reapply better thermal paste

You could buy some zip ties for easier cable management maybe and possibly a magnetic screw holder so you can make sure those tiny screws don't get lost. The PSU already comes with all cables needed so no need to buy them if that's what you are talking about. The CPU comes with thermal paste already but if you'd like you can buy aftermarket paste: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499488869&sr=8-2&keywords=thermal+paste. Other than that I can't think of anything else. The stuff I listed are more of just quality of life stuff and are totally not necessary so I think you are fine as is. And I'm just curious, why did you buy a mounting bracket? Pretty much all cases including the one you have listed has a place to install the SSD in.

u/aidenpryde3025 · 1 pointr/elderscrollsonline

Apple used substandard thermal paste in their systems in 2011 and it has likely dried out and isn't conducting heat energy to the heatsink effectively anymore. So if you're comfortable with some "surgery" get yourself some Arctic Silver thermal paste then look at this iFixit teardown. Pay attention to step 10, as that is where the CPU and GPU thermal paste is shown (I assume you have a MacBook, but if not, here's the iMac one.

u/Ronny070 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Couple of questions. I need to buy some thermal paste for my CPU, and I have these 2 options, is there any difference between them that I should be aware of? Option 1 and Option 2. By the way, this is my first time applying some paste, even though I already know (it's been practically drilled into my brain by this ub and the pcmasterrace one) that I should use a very small amount of it, do I need to give the paste time to cool off or something like that? Or could I just attach the heatsink and start using it normally?

Also, I was gonna buy some led strips for my case and I really wanted to avoid getting a soldering iron. I had my eye on these, and I don't see anything in regards to whether they will need soldering in order to install them or not.

u/jenksy · 1 pointr/Alienware

"Arctic Silver" is probably what he's using, which you can buy online here for about 10 bucks.

You'll need to clean the top of the CPU with something like Isopropyl alchohol to remove all the old, crusted paste, and there are a TON of videos online on how to do this.

Ultimately, you're paying this gentleman for his time. It's a quick process but requires taking some things apart and he's probably gauging his time at about $75 / hour here, which is an entirely fair wage for a computer repair person.

Question is, why does your CPU need a repaste? Is it running hot, making you think the Heatsync isn't doing it's job?

I've only ever heard of re-applying your thermal paste if you had to remove / replace your heatsync from your CPU for some reason... Have you done that?

u/Splic_000 · 1 pointr/PS4

u/Andr00F · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

Thermal paste is what helps transfer heat from the cpu to the cooler, the “fan” you have on your cpu IS a cooler. And a good thermal paste is arctic silver

u/BennyGoId · 1 pointr/PS4

You can still contact Sony Customer Support on where to get it fixed. I wouldn't recommend GameStop, but I don't know where else you could bring it since most computer repair shops work solely on desktops and laptops.

Here's a DIY video on how to re-apply thermal paste underneath the die. You might want to watch through the whole video so that you take the necessary precautions so you don't accidentally break anything:

Either way, yeah it was an ancient decommissioned desktop so it wasn't a big deal. I've seen CPUs break in a myriad of ways but this was the first time I've seen so much of the wafer ripped off.

u/senorroboto · 1 pointr/buildapc

Ah so it was locked properly. Well that's a bad sign that it still came off and could have damaged something. What thermal paste did you use? People use thermal paste as a generic term but there are thermal greases which don't stick too much or there are thermal adhesives/epoxies which are designed to stick on heat sinks with. The same manufacturers sell both kinds. For example:

Normal thermal paste/grease: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/

Thermal adhesive/epoxy for sticking on heat sinks semi-permanently: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Alumina-Thermal-Adhesive-5g/dp/B0009IQ1BU

u/JoshS1 · 1 pointr/techsupport

No it also doesn't come with a cooler.

When I bought mine I also got this cooler I idle about 27°c at load max about 65-68°c. The cooler will come with a small thermal paste packet, but I personally prefer to use Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste.

u/ParamedicWookie · 1 pointr/swtor

I concur with other, a beefier cpu would be great, and it doesn't really have to be the latest series.
Also whatever cpu you decide I would throw in a cooler master hyper 212. It's way better than a stock cooler and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Also use good paste, like arctic silver

u/shokalion · 1 pointr/techsupport

Most things in the computer are fine as long as you're using static protection. Nothing that you can get at by taking the side panel off your case is dangerous. You're more likely to cause damage than you are to get any kind of shock, hence static protection. Even with the thing running (which it shouldn't be) the worst you can likely get is a bruised nail off a fan. The high voltages are inside your power supply, and that's behind another casing even when your side panel's off.

Get yourself an anti-static wrist strap, and connect it to some bare metal on your computer. Then when you're working, you can't build up a static charge and zap any components.

Beyond that, look in your motherboard manual for instructions on how to take off the cooler. Normally there's some sort of clip that holds it on, or there are four screws that you undo. You may or may not have to remove the CPU cooling fan first.

Once you have the cooler off, clean off the old thermal paste from underneath, clean it off the top of your CPU, and while you're there make sure the heatsink is clean and all the dust is removed from it.

Then apply some fresh stuff. Arctic Silver 5 is a good thermal paste, and even the tiniest syringe should last you years.

Put no more than a pea-sized amount on the middle of your chip, after you've cleaned off all the old stuff, and then press the cooler back into place, clipping it or screwing it back on, whatever applies to your arrangement.

That should bring your cooling back up to spec.

If you've not touched anything else about your computer, undervolting it to fix a gradually manifesting cooling issue is going about it the wrong way. Fix what's stopping it cooling properly rather than making the computer run cooler to compensate.

u/entreri22 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you could care less, that means you care : O

Everything looks good, prob would suggest a 480 8gb over the 1060 though. Most people are moving away from the hyper 212, cant remember what they are flocking to now... but do a quick google. Thermal paste seems a bit expensive, https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483643670&sr=8-1&keywords=thermal+paste

u/SpaceOgresWithLasers · 0 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

here are the system requirements. Idk why you would be having problems unless you have resources allocated to something else.

One of the only times I’ve ever drank as an adult, I came home and in my drunken stupor I somehow allocated nearly all my CPU / GPU processing power to SETI at home. I tried to load Steam the next day and it kept crashing. So I opened up HWMonitor and then tried opening Steam only to watch my core temps skyrocket before crashing. When I rebooted the PC, I opened task manager to see SETI@Home using nearly every bit of processing power I had.

Also I’m going to go ahead and recommend this Arctic Silver thermal paste.
