What is Reddit's opinion of ARCTIC MX-2 (4 g) - Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), high thermal conductivity, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Turning on V-Sync serves only as a bandaid covering up the real issue or issues. Your PC should not be shutting down, period. The game served only to expose the issue(s) of over heating and it is much more problematic than you may realize.

If you have a standard tower PC the maintenance is rather easy. Of course if you own a laptop then none of this maintenance may be achievable. Most laptops simply won't allow you to remove the cover and perform the appropriate maintenance while some laptops can. The best you can do is hit the vents with some compressed air.

I will outline some of the most common issues below that cause over heating. Be aware that it may be a combination of any or all of them.

1. The thermal paste on the CPU needs to be replaced. - If this is the issue then you are in dire straits and it needs to be addressed immediately. The only way to know for certain is to remove the CPUs' heatsink and have a look at the condition of the paste. If the paste is chalky this is bad and you have found the may cause of the overheating. Regardless of the pastes condition, since you have the heatsink removed, it is normal practice to replace it. This process is rather simple and there are a plethora of videos showing how to apply the paste. All you need is a rice grain sized dollop. A decent thermal compound is rather cheap. I personally use Arctic MX-2 which costs roughly $6-$8 US for a small 4 gram. It has a shelf life of 8 years and will last several years allowing for reapplication. The expensive compounds aren't really needed unless you are doing some overclocking and/or are an enthusiast pushing the limits of your CPU. Not that the expensive compounds won't be useful but in your case they are not "required".

2. The CPU heatsink is not doing an adequate job. - If this is the cause of the issue the remedy may be to simply clean the dust off with a can of compressed air. Another option would be to purchase While you are at this would be a good time to remove the heatsink and take a look at the thermal paste and replace it. I personally replace the CPU thermal paste about once a year no matter it's condition or which type of paste I use. If the heatsink is stock you may want to consider purchasing a aftermarket heatsink. Good ones aren't cheap but the real cheap ones won't be adequate.

3. The inside of your PC is filthy and needs to be cleaned. - This can also be fixed by cleaning out the dust bunnies with a can of compressed air. This maintenance should be performed a few times per year.

4. The airflow in your case needs adjusting. - As a general rule your fans should be adjusted so the intake is coming through the front of the case and the exhaust blowing it out the rear and top. If your case does not allow for intake through the front then intake from the left panel will also work.

While you are at it now would be a great opportunity to remove the video card and give it a thorough cleaning with compressed air as well.

As I already stated the game is not the issue. It only exposed the problems that have been lying dormant. The overheating issue is a serious problem that must not be ignored. Take care of it as soon as possible.

Dunque... No, non sono d'accordo, e invece di spiegare il perchè a parole rimando al video di prima, la differenza lì è chiara. Non metto in dubbio che il 5600X sia un processore complessivamente migliore, ma non vale quasi il doppio del prezzo, soprattutto quando il focus è sul gaming. L'11400F non è unlocked, non puoi effettuare alcun overclock su di esso, ma non c'è nè nemmeno bisogno...

Consiglio di usare il sito BPM-Power. Le spedizioni non sono rapide quanto quelle di Amazon, e dovrai pagare una decina di € di spese di spedizione (quindi è meglio prendere tutto insieme e pagarle una volta sola) ma la differenza di prezzo è notevole, risparmi anche considerando quelle spedizioni, e il sito è valido.

Per quanto riguarda il tutto, con i prezzi corretti:

Tra l'altro il prezzo del processore è sceso a 155€ oggi, ottimo. Ecco i link precisi...

SSD: https://www.bpm-power.com/it/online/componenti-pc/ssd/1tb-teamgroup-mp33-pcie-b1747101

La scheda madre in questione non ha Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, ma non penso ti interessi dato che la tua attuale non li ha. La RAM è lievemente diversa da quella nella lista, è la stessa RAM ma il nuovo modello che non è più "HyperX" dato che Kingston ha venduto il brand HyperX recentemente, ma questo non ha importanza, contano le specifiche della RAM in sè. L'SSD è un drive NVME budget da 1TB, nonostante sia budget è comunque buono ed è NVME, ottimo per il prezzo, e la scheda madre ha un dissipatore integrato da applicare sopra un drive M.2 come questo, il chè è un buon plus, nulla di necessario ma meglio averlo che non.

Ora, se hai intenzione di usare di nuovo il tuo dissipatore a liquido, ponendo che sia compatibile (sembra che lo sia) avrai bisogno di nuova pasta termica, naturalmente. Questa è buona, per esempio: https://www.amazon.it/ARCTIC-MX-2-Edizione-2019-termoconduttiva/dp/B07LDRVFBH/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_it_IT=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=Arctic+MX-2&qid=1637154312&sr=8-5

Opinioni?

compressed air isn t enough, you need thermal paste, my lil bro s ps4 pro and my ps4 fat were litteral A-10 warthog, then i added some noctua nt-h1 and it doesn t make A SOUND it s really not hard to do, and there s a lot of good videos on youtube on how to do it but if you ain t confidente enough just bring it to some repair shop and ask them to do it for you, most will do it for like 20$ but ask what thermal paste they ll use, cuz if they give you a shitty one you ll have to bring it back like 6 months afterwards

here s a video on how to do it yourself : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQLoBuZ-Zug&t=411s

here are the thermal pastes i recomand:

best on a budget is arctic MX-2, MX-4, MX-5 (they are all pretty much the same) : https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-MX-2-2019-Performance-Durability/dp/B07LDRVFBH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=mx-2&qid=1632338492&sr=8-1

best overall : https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NT-H2-Thermal-Cleaning-Performance/dp/B07MZ45X9G/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=nt-h1&qid=1632338553&sr=8-3

hope i helped

ye bro lemme link u some from amazon only like 6 dollars
