I have had this tube of MX4 since 2013, it’s served me well, countless rebuilds of my computers, CPUs and GPUs alike, home servers, gaming computers, laptops, games consoles, pi4, I used this on everything. You served me well.
8th June 2013 to 4th November 2023.
That’s incredible. I typically only get 1 use out of mine.
Far out, how much you putting on? As far as I’m aware, doing a cross over the processor is all that’s needed
That only applies to really large IHS processors like Threadrippers. For anything normal sized a single dot of paste a bit smaller than a pea, is just enough to spread over the entire IHS when the cooler is applied.
1 tube per processor but sometimes I get hungry and need 2.
What are you installing, a threadripper every time?
You don’t need much at all, just barely enough to cover the IHS in the thinnest possible layer.
