    What is thermal compound paste? CPU air cooling or water cooling? This is an animated video explaining the two different coolers. It also explains the purpose of a heat sink and thermal compound. What is thermal compound used for?
    0:00 Introduction
    0:19 Heat Sink
    1:29 CPU Fan - Air Cooling
    1:48 Thermal Compound Paste
    2:42 Water Cooling

      Thank you. I use an older version of powerpoint which doesn't have the wider screen format. I still use the older version because I'm so familiar with it. But I do record the screen in 16x9, it's just that when you watch youtube videos in chrome, it cuts off the black edges. Which makes it look like I made the video in 4x3 when in reality they are 16x9. Eventually I will move up to a later version of powerpoint.

      If you study that stuff at a university, you probbale will work in a professional IT environment, like a datacenter. A datacenter has a hughe bypart, wich is heat and goal of a datacenter is to make money of this hughe and expensive bypart. The most easy way is to sell the heat as warm- or heating-water to the neighborhood. If you cool your system with water, you just need a water heat exchanger to be in that business and finaly get a financial return of the heat. If you just cool your systems by a AC, 40% of the intake engergy is wasted.

    Perfect timing for this video. Just discovered the different cooling methods and needed addition clarification on this topic. The least talked about critical fact is that thermal compound fills in "the microscope gaps" between the CPU and the heat sink. Most people think both surfaces are 100% flat. But technical, as stated, they are not. Great video.

  • @louf7178
    @louf7178 Před 5 lety

    I built a computer, as I usually had done, thinking I'm fairly knowledgeable - coming back to it years afterward, I find almost every significant installation was pretty bad; one being CPU thermal paste. The computer always ran hot, and while replacing the standard heat sink with a liquid cooler, I found the paste was way too little; the reason was my earlier heat sinks clamped on so tightly that the paste came out all over. My recent computer's mounting is much less, therefore the paste was not covering much area - had there been enough paste, the OE probably cooled well enough. The liquid cooler is very good though; most people probably *frown* on stiff liquid lines, but I am thinking the line's material may have low permeability (less liquid loss over time), and I am quite satisfied with it being that way. The Cooler Master -120 single-fan is a good price and has good performance; if I remember correctly, I reduced a staggering ~90°C+ (hot day, under load) to more like the mid-40s (32°C, idle, cold ambient) with much quicker pull-down times). It went through hell for quite while.

    Actually if I am not mistaken water coolers only trumps air coolers just because they have a larger "heat" BUFFER to deal with and the fact that the heat can more "easily" be able to be "offloaded". Since water takes so much flipping heat before it's gets "too hot". Over say even a huge aluminum block. The reason I believe people use them for intensive builds is because they can MOVE the heat dissipation rather than having an insanely huge air cooling rig inside the case. To say just out/near the outside of the case for the quickest air exchanging. In addition to the price tag you will also take the risk of it breaking (likely the pump but leakage do happens even in good quality AIOs but your pump is likely to brick before that happens) and once it does good luck "fixing it". At least with 3rd party 120mm coolers you can probably easily get a static pressure fan to do the job instead. Also who said that stock coolers are crap? I have an APU and it's cooler is doing it job even under heavy stock loads. I heard also that the Rzyen coolers can even do a LIGHT overclock before they hit the fans say to speak.

    @dlindsay6968 Před 4 lety

    Some basics for the uninitiated. IMO, the upper limits as stated by some laptop and desktop makers, is too optimistic and leaves very little room if over-heating occurs in the CPUs & GPU's. "Gamers" seem to be the main group of users keenly aware of the overheating issue. The life of a PC can be considerable extended by ensuring it runs as cool as possible from day one. Obviously, preventing excess heating in the first place is the key! Outside of upgrading OE cooling, I've found the following basic suggestions beneficial for my family and friends, when all of the following are implemented.
    Just Basic stuff...
    Routinely clean the fan(s) & screens. Don't impede the flow of air circulating around the unit. Especially on the bottom of LT's, their exhaust ports, if any, and the back of desktop "towers", or where the CPU fan intakes are located. Placing a small desk fan so it blows/circulates air in the direction of the CPU fan intakes can help.
    I place an adjustable "frame/base" under my laptop, on my desk. Helping the fresh air supply greatly, dropping op temps by 15* F. Look for one made of aluminum, that will only contact the LT bottom with 4 upright feet...not a "platter" covering the entire underside - defeating the purpose. Amazon has them.
    Lastly, the freeware "SpeedFans", which I use on 2 of 3 computers, provided the most cooling benefit listed here. CZcams has many tutorials on how to properly adjust SpeedFans' settings. A MUST watch, even for the experienced!

    Can anyone explain to me the difference between this type of water cooling as shown in the illustration vs water cooling with tubes such as glass, acrylic, or plastic where you can create a maze of tubes through the graphics card and CPU. Or does the same principle still apply? Is it just more efficient instead of "hosing" because with tubes, and a reservoir, you got your own distilled water and whatever liquid coloring you can choose to make your PC feel a bit more unique to your style?
