Curious if any users of GelID use the little spreader paddle included with the TIM.

IC Diamond is really good stuff tbh but its a bitch to remove and you can lap your CPU with it.

the EVGA stuff is rebranded stuff from hong kong... sucks for air/water but good for LN2 transfer.... just be very careful.... you get it on your CPU and your CPU is dead simple as that....

also get it on you and its a bitch to get off.

very high silver content so its capacitive so be careful fellas...

back in the days i did a little thermal benches, and liquid metal is by far the best for high end use both water and air, never got around to test it on TEC or extreme cooling, but what it dose it fills all the micro gaps on the chip with it self and adds a VERY thin layer of it

if you get that you may also wanna get a set of the thermal removal or if you want to make a quick and dirty get a little bottle of GooGone it removes thermal stuff like crazy

trying to look up what that evga stuff is but everytime i try to get on that site today it crashes

if you got the rig set for LN2, the cpu socket s/b pretty well sealed, would there still be a concern? Might not use on a GPU pot though
