I remember overclocking 12 years ago and upgrading the cooler and thermal paste was standard practice. Is something different this time?

- joncrane 10y agoHe means the thermal paste between the chip itself and the metal top (aka heatspreader). The metal top is the part the user-supplied thermal paste goes onto, and the cooler block sticks onto. There's also another thermal paste sandwich UNDER that that you'd have to do some very delicate surgery to modify.
- SnowProblem 10y agoAh, that's very interesting. Thanks.
