What's the cpu post some specs.? & this could be also be a result in a lucky application method. Curious to know i use Artic Ice for the gpu low 20's on my rig i may use this as well for the gpu not only my cpu. Ddi you do the big dot or spread evenly ?

CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x. Applied old paste about Jan 2021, so prob around 19 months. I don't remember how it was applied but spread on AIO looked fine enough when I cleaned it. I manually spread the paste this go around.

You probably did a better job this time around. Sometimes I've had crap mounts too and just reapplying thermal paste and reseating the cooler makes a big difference. Bc MX-4 isn't bad... the difference should not be this stark.

 

But either way I'm happy for you!

Good to know for the future!
