Experiencing a massive CPU temp drop.

[Aphexxis]

Ok, the last time i pasted my CPU i used Noctua's paste, the NT-H1 

 

And my X580 XEON at 4.2ghz under stress with HT on would easily reach 80c, with HT off, 65c.

 

Now i bought a big tube of Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 and the temps are as follows. 62c HT on, 51c HT off.

 

Most reviews show Ceramique 2 as not being that good, yet i have a huge drop in temps?

you have to replace the thermal paste every few months to maintain heat efficient conductivity

Paste was only a year old, and the NT-H1 got better over time by 4c.

sounds like you applied the arctic paste better then the noctua one at the time

It is possible, but i used the same pea method, the cooler was removed and the application was even, though the paste was quite dry.

a year old might be too long for the paste and require new paste.

for me, i know when to reapply paste onto my computer when the temps start to go higher than usual by a large margin

what the shit kind of terrible paste do you use where this is necessary?

 

this just sounds like you just did a better mound the second time around.

please, get a tube of MX-4, it'll change your life.

i might've lost my MX-4 so..

i probably will get it soon, it's time for my computer to stop being 90c loads from 78c before

you probably just had a bad mount before, and did considerably better this time.

I recommend Ceramique 2, it's cheaper and well.. results are results.
