PSNI Over-reveals in Freedom of Information Response
DildorTheDecent replied to TheSaltyBaron's topic in Tech News
As someone cursed to be born, live and die in Northern Ireland it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that this occured. It's been nonstop in the news and will be for the next month as, you guessed it, nothing is done. Could only happen in NI. -

4 hours ago, Senzelian said:I used one on a 5800X and a Noctua NH-U9S and it was simply not enough. Changed it out for thermal paste and it's all good now. Went from ~92°C to ~87°C.
Maybe it's a bit of a rare scenario with the NH-U9S...
I wonder if the issue could be concentration of heat. It's possible modern processors are too dense in too small of a package now. Like I exampled the 5960X ran on the 22nm process. 5800X is 7nm. Depending on how many transistors exist on the die package older style graphite pads might not be able to handle the concentrated heat which they only averaged about 28 W/m∙K in the Z axis.
The only reasons why my results on a TR1950X might be so good is because of how spread out the packages are and how big the IHS is for spreading where that heat can go.
Just a theory...

It might be the reason why it works for and won't for me, but it's not the reason for thermal pads performing worse than paste.

I would say unless two surfaces were irrefutably flat no super heat conductive material will outperform paste.
But at the same time in my applications I benefit from many, cooler, lower performing cores than a fewer, hotter, high performing ones. For that reason I don't need to sweat 3 or 4 degrees if it comes with the perk of not re-pasting these massive SP3 & LGA3647 IHS's.

DRAM 2 is the backside memory modules. If you touch your backplate you will feel it (might burn your fingers though so watch out). It's normal. I think memory modules are rated for around 110C anyway. TLDR: It's no big deal.

Funnily enough, I've got this exact same sound on my desktop. No physical drives are installed yet there's the unmistakable sound. Haven't narrowed it down. -

Damn, did you buy a screen protector or a science experiment?
