  1. My favorite part about this happening is the Intel shills shilling as if it was competition for biggest shill in the world.The amount of downplaying,half truths,twisted facts,"but AMD too!" and ignorance is so huge,I cant believe even mentaly handicapped fanboy would be capable of it if he was honest.
  2. "But AMD might have big security problem too,Its just nobody knows about it yet" LoL Its not AMD who caused Windows and Linux to roll out update that will decrease speed by 40% "But,but....but AMD" LOL Some of these post read like Intel PR bullcarp,I dont give a rats ass about some AMD security problem that nobody found yet and is not proven to exist when Intel have real problem and updates are rolled out that will cripple the speed becose Intel funked up,not just in theoretical fantasy realm of your head,but in IRL where it will have real impact on users.
  3. Does Conductonaut stain the cpu ihs IF the cooler heatplate is nickel plated? I saw that it stained it,but that was becose the heatplate of cooler touching it was pure copper.While galium isnt as destructive to copper like it is to aluminum,it significantly reacts/diffuses into copper,the nickel doesnt suffer this problem I believe. Is it possible that if I use nickel plated copper on top of ihs witch is nickel plated copper too,that there would be no staining? Basically : naked copper + conductonaut + ihs = stain on ihs nickel plated copper + conductonaut + ihs = no stain on ihs?
  4. Hmmm... interesting.Isopropyl alcohol,ok,but why? It doesnt contain any oil or polymer,alcohol wont do anything to galium,cant I just use normal paper wipe without alcohol?
  5. This video says that it sill permanently stain the cpu,making it look like it was on fire,he say that coolaboratory provides steel wool to grind away the stained surface. Both grinded surface and looking like it was in fire is disaster for warranty I think.You say it is removed like CLU,but I read Conductonaut is easier to remove.Also I dont know what was that wet transparent looking wipe made off.Does come with it?
  6. Alcohol? I am not chemistry expert but what logic does it make to use alcohol to clean galium alloy? It doesnt contain polymers or oils like normal thermal grease/paste.
  7. I fear that if cpu dies and I would want a warranty,there might be problem with the cpu either having a remains of the Conductonaut on it,or the lettering missing after polishing it with abrasion paper. I read that its hard to clean and only option is to grind away the surface with fine grit sand paper.I fear such cpu that was cleaned from Conductonaut would be potential problem with warranty. My question is two part : 1. How hard is it to clean the cpu surface from Conductonaut? Can you clean it in such way that it appears as if it was new? I mean no scratches,lettering intact,basicly avoiding using abrasive 2. If it is really only possible with sand paper,will there be problem with warranty? Or should I return it with Conductonaut still on it?
  8. I think without delid you cant use cooler much smaller,lighter and cheaper than NH D15 and still have acceptable temperatures with all core 4.6 GHz OC. Personaly I rather spend more money on cooler than 50 euro on delid tool + 10 euro for liquid metal thermal compound and all the work,risks and voided warranty that comes with delid.
  9. Even 0.5c difference is good enough for me,the question is if it really is the best performance paste. I will only apply it once and be good for like 5 years,compared to the cost of the computer even expensive paste like Kryonaut is insignificant,I only need amount for one use,I understand that other pastes are much cheaper but at 6 euro price I dont care.
  10. Yes I saw the toms hadware 2017 thermal paste test and other tests,but I would like to hear what temperatures you got with Kryonaut. I want to buy best thermal paste,is Kryonaut really the best? I have some 7 year old Noctua paste from when I bought nh d14,I read that old paste is not good so thats why I am buying new.Maybe I am paranoid conspiracy theorist,but I think some reviews and test from some sites might be lying in order to create hype and sales as result,also astroturfing is a thing.I am skeptical about this Thermal Grizzly,and that is why I want to hear ( read ) from you,what kind of temperatures you got. Compared to Noctua NT H1 or other tried proven good performing thermal pastes,is Kryonaut better,equal or worse?
  11. Thats not true that Ansys doesnt need cores,infact,Ansys is probably the single most demanding program when it comes to cores.Ansys sells the software on various versions,each version have limit how many cores it can use,first level is 8 cores,second 32,third 128,fourth 512... If Ansys only cared about single core performance,people would not run it at 512 core clusters with license that cost as much as new house per month over the much cheaper 8 core license.
  12. 1. Integrated GPU 2. Faster single core performance ( Solidworks ) 3. Better memory controller,faster ram overclocks. 4. Want to buy Optane in future. BTW I hate Intel and I am moderatly a AMD fanboy.I hate Intel for their greed,their shitty paste they put into their chip so they are stupidly hot and users must void warranty to fix it,I hate their K,non-K bulls..t that forces you to pay more to overclock,I hate their stupid rushed x299,I hate how aggresively they fighted the non K overclocking with bclk,forcing motherboard makers to drop the feature,I hate how overconfident they are,before Ryzen they were overpriced and bang for buck wasnt moving forward at all becose they think they are unbeatable kings of the world monopoly. I cheer for AMD and I am very happy about Ryzen and Threadripper,I feel relieved that there is finaly competition like in the early 2000s.That being said,this is tool I need for work,there is no room for emotion,the Intel ia simply better choice for me.In future I will surely buy AMD,but for now,Z370 Intel it is.
  13. I am building myself 700 euro workstation,Intel cpu,and Z370 motherboard.This thing will be used purely for work,Solidworks and Ansys,absolutely no gaming! In before someone goes "You dont need fast ram for games" I dont give a funk about games,Ansys is very different to games,there is no limit to ram bandwidth performance increase,it scales linearly infinitely! People run this on 4 cpu workstations with total of 24 memory channels or even clusters,my point is that Ansys benefits strongly with memory bandwidth. I have two options : 1. I5 8400 + 2x8gb Crucial Ballistics Elite 3466 MHz .... this is famous Samsung B die,expected overclock 4000 MHz 2. I5 8600k + 2x8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 2133 MHz .... this is nice cheap ram,I believe its either A or M Hynix die,expected OC = 3000 Mhz I have Noctua NH-D14 cooler,I will not delid.I expect 4.8 GHz all core without AVX offset.The question is,which is better,a 25% faster cpu or 25% more ram bandwidth?
