@tyler @Vril_Oreilly @Dan_Hulson @dassauerkraut @hazlin Replace thermal paste annually? How toasty do you keep your house 🤣? -

@dassauerkraut @Vril_Oreilly @hazlin I don't think I have ever had PC parts longer than 18 months and they still end up fucking up but that's just Jews sneaking in my house breaking my shit I reckon as I'm just that important that they know I would have rebuilt the British Empire and ran them out if I wasn't so fucking busy -

replace thermal paste on your parts every year and clean out the dust bro it's annual maintenance. -

@hazlin @Vril_Oreilly Yeah mine gets used for however long I'm on the PC, then the PC gets shutoff when I'm done, so it gets rest periods. Hardware that's conditioned to run 24/7 like in data centers has to stay powered on and running, alot of it dies if it gets completely shutoff. I've been told that's an issue with storage drives atleast. -

@dassauerkraut @Vril_Oreilly same.
And, I do know someone who had a GPU run 24/7 playing streams on a monitor, and it died way earlier.
I'm going to go with, continuous use is way harder on a card. -

@Vril_Oreilly I've been running the same gpu primarily for games for 8 years or so now and its still going strong. BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this. -

@tyler @Vril_Oreilly @Dan_Hulson @dassauerkraut @hazlin If you're mining or doing stuff that really pushes them, I guess. I used to warranty exchange my cards a lot when they started acting up, which was great but probably why they don't offer that anymore. Maybe I'll have to look into repasting or some type of other cooling setup. I used to have a self contained water cooled system, which everybody pooh-poohs, but it was so so quiet I miss it. Honestly might go back to it and possibly a custom case just because I like the idea of building the stuff and enjoy that aspect more than using it these days. Nick repeated this. -

I repaste my graphics cards bro, I can't afford to be replacing that stuff every 2 years that's WHACK bro BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this. -

@tyler @Vril_Oreilly @Dan_Hulson @dassauerkraut @hazlin Okay what is this. Do people actually spread it around? I just used a coffee filter after making a THIN spiral three or four times around, and the heat and weight seems to do the job. Is that wrong? Every time I've taken it apart later, it's fully spread. -

@hazlin @tyler @Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle @dassauerkraut I use the best quality compound normally cooler master mastergel Pro v2 and my PSUs are second to none always platinum-graded rating. My cases are well ventilated and cooled and clean semi-regular. I have worked on PCs and electronics most my life -

@dassauerkraut @tyler @Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle @hazlin It loses thermal conduction properties every few years as it drys up so it's best to replace every now and then BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this. -

@hazlin @Dan_Hulson @BowsacNoodle @Vril_Oreilly @tyler If you never pull the fan off or rattle the case then its probably been okay. Nothing had broken or cracked then paste ruining its thermal conductivinty. It mainly works due to the silver content so its not gonna fail so long as it keeps contact. BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this. -

I usually just add a drop, you can tell if it is wrong by looking at the temperatures.
I've never heard of replacing the past before, maybe I'll see if I can find some empirical support for that. -

@BowsacNoodle @tyler @Vril_Oreilly @Dan_Hulson @dassauerkraut @hazlin It depends on how autistic you want to make this, but the short is it different for every cpu. That plate you see is the lid that adds a flat protective thermal surface that makes it hard to fuck up the chips. Look up direct die cooling for yours and they’ll usually have gone full tism before they delidded it. BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this. -

@BowsacNoodle @tyler @Vril_Oreilly @Dan_Hulson @hazlin I just squeeze some in an X pattern and use the cooling fan to mash it out across the surface of the pc heatsink. -

@Dan_Hulson @tyler @Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle @hazlin From the mush patterns I've seen it all ends up pretty even once the fan is set on and tightened down so I never thought about heat spots. BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this.
