Is Intel’s Thermal Paste ACTUALLY That Bad?

By harvesting TIM from old Intel CPUs we can finally find out just how bad it is.

Buy better thermal paste

I know your (LTT) not exactly known for properly executed testing, but this is a whole new level of bad.

 

This tells us nothing. Seriosly, why did you even make this video ?

 

If you truly wanted to test this, you shoulda used your intel contacts to get some fresh TIM sent to you. Failing that, you should have got some brand new unused current gen CPUs and removed the TIm from those.

 

The TIM u used was dried, old, and not even properly reconstitued. Comparing that to new NTH1 was just pointless. If it was 6 year old reused dried NT-H1 you compared it to, then maybe you'd have a proper comparison.

 

The actual difference between intel TIM and NT-H1 would likely be more around the 13c mark, the ~20c difference you see people spouting is compared to Liquid Metal TIM, which in itself is usualy around 7c better than somthing like NT-H1.

Airrr not helping either...airrr a little harder time with Load temps imo. need a loop..even if not a fascinating one and a pump that's like 3 or 4 on a d5. Really should have a d5.

Well honestly this cooler served me really well.

Not saying it is as good as watercooling but it most certainly isn't far from!

AIO watercoolers are an expensive upgrade for my aging system, not going to bother buying one to get some better temps for the next year or two.

The more important question is is the guitar pick OK?
