Thank you for the reminder anon.
Why? I just did so last week.
Also post pastes.
AS 5 here, looking for an upgrade as the tubes oiling out and I'm starting to get stupid temps on my laptop. Currently looking at Gelid but fuck this cost per gram ratio.

Thanks for the reminder OP but I'm good, got my reminder set for "Thermal Thursday" as usual.
Anyone have a favorite brand they recommend? I bought a large tube of some Antec stuff 3 months ago and I'm already running low. PC gaming sure can be pricey, but it's good to know my CPU will stay cool enough to outlast the next console generation.

I used arctic mx2 on my desktop and it holds out just fine. Never tested it on laptops though.

Don't listen to this fucking shill. The PSU is fine, it's the cables that get clogged on the inside and need to be replaced.
Same for data as well, but that's every 6 months.

I just pressure wash mine about once every six months. Throw it in the oven at 250 for an hour to evaporate any remaining water.

Gelid is the best I've ever used. Idk if it would
work well for a laptop though. Used mine on an fx 8320. Lowered my temps by about 5 or so degrees which is amazing for this cpu. Temps never go above 58c and average temp is like 45 when gaming/multitasking together. More intensive games make the cpu hover around 53 and idle is 30-35. This is all on a 4.5 ghz clock too.
