My PC:
I built this PC back in 2017 and the CPU temps have been terrible since day 1.
With my daily driver overclock of 4.8 Ghz, 100% utilization for more than 10 minutes would push CPU temps into the mid 90's. Heavy gaming (~50% utilization) would regularly cause temps in the upper 70's or low 80's.
After browsing around here and Youtube I found that the problem was likely Intel's thermal paste under the IHS, so for just over $30 I bought:
I then delidded my CPU, spent over an hour sanding down my IHS, then applied liquid metal under the IHS and Artic MX-4 above (which I had laying around). I chose not to re-seal the IHS after reading some comments here.
Now my CPU temps idle in the 30's, stay in the 40's while gaming and rarely ever hit the 50's.
For CPU temps to break into the 60's, I have to run 100% utilization for over 15 minutes (as shown), which doesn't even happen in my day-to-day use.
So pretty happy overall.
Ive used this tool personally and it worked a treat, $12. Im also EU based.
So even with the kryonaut etc.. youre looking at $40. Im not even going to go into the fact that the difference between kryonaut and Arctic MX/NT-H1 is so small not to make a significant real world difference.
So yeah, $80? Please. Youre cherry picking. We can all cherry pick the highest priced goods to support our claim.
I stick by my original statement; your argument is as leaky as a sieve.
I just bought this one on amazon. Should be delivered here in the next couple days. I'll give you an update when it gets here.
I got this one. But really, any tool designed for Intel delids will work. Just get the cheapest available to you. I can't justify the high cost of a der8auer or Dr. Delid tool when these work just as well.
