BluePanda Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 You got it!... Wait? Which way? I think it's pretty obvious...and probably not what you were hoping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 TIM is TIM. I don't even keep track of what I use. It sounds like a guy who don't care about high temperature. Try to use something crap like coolermaster thermal fusion paste and you WILL feel the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 It sounds like a guy who don't care about high temperature. Try to use something crap like coolermaster thermal fusion paste and you WILL feel the difference. I don't care about temperature...yet I have a full water cooling system? For standard TIM there's a couple C difference, at most. I just checked and I've apparently been using Arctic Cooling MX-2. I finally ran out of the silver and gold crap that came with my GeIL RAM about 9 years ago. I don't run my system anywhere near the point where a couple degrees would cause damage. Sure, there are some exotic TIMs that are amazing...but I don't want to essentially solder my chip to my water block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 He burns out hardware because his GPUs and CPU are no longer limited by temperature. So failing points become the voltage regulation. Using a $20 per application Tim vs a $2 per application Tim won't change that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Waco don't care about much thus he burns out hardware I'm pretty sure he's only ever killed a single motherboard in all the years he's screwed with OCing. lol. And I think that's been 12 or so years worth -- not a bad record if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This will be fun) Waco uses cheap tim. i get all mine for free.. LOL Edited May 3, 2012 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This will be fun) Waco uses cheap tim. i get all mine for free.. LOL I think he means if you are running really good custom water/phase change/LN2 etc, you can put really high voltage through the chip without worrying about high temperatures as much, but the chip could still degrade because of voltage regulation/electromigration or whatever. I don't know what setup Waco is running, but that's what you're talking about right Stonerboy? i.e. you couldn't run a CPU at 7Ghz under LN2 with some ridiculous voltage like 1.8v because, even if you had a way to endlessly feed it LN2 and it always stayed well below -100 degrees, it would still fail pretty fast. In that circumstance you are no longer limited by temperature, but by the sensitivity of the chip, quality motherboard VRMs etc. I'm sure Waco isn't running LN2, but with some good water cooling, you might be able to push more voltage through it than is wise, even if the temperature stays safe.
