This is the thermal paste application of a more civilized age.

Now we're gonna wash our brush in odorless paint thinner and beat the devil out of it.

This is a great way to apply thermal paste, it’s a lot more time consuming but it will cover the top of the cpu very well giving you the best temperatures

I usually just fill my whole bathtub with thermal paste and completely submerge my whole pc in it. It had yet to exceed -48° i did notice a 92FPS drop due to not being able to see my RGB through the thermal paste, so i made sure to cover the entire bathroom in RGB lights to eliminate FPS loss.

10/10 most effective method so far. Highly recommended

I don't care how you apply thermal paste. As long as it's covering the entire IHS with no intentions to trap air and not spilling it over the cpu it's fine.

I've used high-end thermal pads instead of thermal paste on my last two builds (2019 & 2024) & they worked great. Super easy to apply, runs super cool, & lasts forever.

Best shot of thermal paste application yet!!
Thank you!

Arctic specifically says not only on their website, but literally on the packaging, and the manual for this paste, to NOT spread this thermal paste when applying. It strictly shows a color diagram on the 2 ways they want u to apply the thermal paste to achieve the best and longest lasting results. lol but ok.

You should change the cpu bracket to the Thermalright am5 cpu bracket. Its way nicer and cleaner

[heythenameiselliott]

Personally I think that’s a little too much! I’ve found that a thinner application as long as it’s fully covered works better than having a thicker layer

[mtrebtreboschi]

I think you could also just get the noctua NA-STPG1 and then put thermal paste there and not worry about it seeping over the edge

I'm building a new PC and man, applying the thermal paste feels like the most stressful thing possible. I'm applying it like I'm Pablo Picasso.

This is making me want a container of frosting.

What's the thermal performance like? I've always used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for past couple years.

It's called a square. Or the puzzle piece

[Spncycl]

Lot of kids in the comments who think they're experts after watching a single YouTube video and probably even misunderstanding it lol.

I would take that stock am5 locking frame off and buy the thermal light after market contact frame . It looks better and will stop the board from warping in the future

[whoshotya]

I hate that AMD has exposed gold contacts on the sides, picking paste out of that will be fun... 🥴

[Got-B-Said]

So many ways depending on the type of thermal paste. Just be safe and do the pea method. I've done this forever and never had a problem. Just pair with a decent cooler and you'll never worry.
