Thermaltake is taking the art of applying thermal paste to a CPU and turning it into a paint-by-numbers game, just with a single number for gray. Oh, and a honeycomb template, so as you're going all ...

Noted hardware guru igor'sLAB has finally put the thermal paste application argument to rest. Apparently, it's best to apply the thermal paste in a straight line. At least for GPUs. Harish Kumar M ...

Noctua recommends a single dot at the middle, spanning 3 to 4 mm for proper coverage of the entire IHS. AMD's AM5 CPU requires a dot-sized paste application only. This is a drastic change from the ...

In context: Applying thermal paste can be one of the most delicate parts of building and customizing a PC. It's somewhat easy to make mistakes, and builders have been arguing over the best methods for ...

For years the PC building community has argued over the correct method of applying thermal paste. Some parties insist on using a pea-sized dot, while others favor a more elaborate application with ...

AMD's Ryzen 7000 series processors based on its Zen 4 architecture have a very unusual design to their integrated heatspreaders (IHS). If you're not careful, the notches on the sides of the IHS can ...
