Thermally conductive grease 8W/mk
Thermal grease gradually dries out and becomes ineffective as ASIC miners work over time and at high temperatures, leading to hashrate drops. That's why mining farm operators need to regularly inspect and replace the thermal grease on chip surfaces to ensure optimal cooling performance and mining efficiency.

And the last one....
Thermal Grizzly Duronaut, one of the newer ones on the block.
I didn't actually get an application picture for this nor a spread picture as I've left this one in for now.
Pretty average with a Cinebench of 8063, but at the coolest of 80 Degrees. Prime 95 also peaked at 88 Degrees the lowest of the lot.
And a decent 3D Mark of 17,074 with an avg of 52 Degrees.

Second from last is Coolermaster Cyrofuze, I only got this as it was included with my new CPU Cooler (the Coolermaster Hyper 612 Apex which is what I've used for all of these tests).
Surprisingly slightly worse for a more premium brand, 7480 in Cinebench but staying at 82 Degrees. Max temp in P95 of 98 Degrees and a mediocre 16,597 in 3D Mark.
Not bad, but it's not hard to get that tad better.
-
And the next contender, MX-6! Not sure why I skipped 5 when ordering in the past but here we are.
Once again as is becoming the trend, pretty on par results.
Cinebench at 8084 with a max temp of 84, Prime 95 down to 92 with a peak of 213 and 3D Mark at 17,064.
Fraction worse in one test than MX4, better in the others.
No real difference.
-
Time for the most known, Arctic MX.
Beginning with MX-4, very easy to apply and spread.
On par Cinebench Score of 8085 (becoming a trend) with a max temp of 82 Degrees. Prime 95 was decent with a peak of 94 Degrees again with 214W and an improved 3D Mark of 17,031.
As is starting to become the theme, outside of the cheapest the brands are all pretty much within margin of error so far.
-
And now it's Thermalright TF7.
8078 in Cinebench maxing at 86 Degrees, Prime 95 at 94 but limiting to 212 Watts instead. 3D Mark was worse out of the 3 so far but did stay cooler too.
It did feel a much drier paste and was harder to get a nice application too.
-
Next up was Thermalright TF4.
Improved results across the board, whilst only marginal Cinebench was up to 8093 and 3D Mark to 17,034 margin of errors.
However, Cinebench only maxed out at 84 Degrees, Prime 95 down to 98 Degrees and 3D Mark at 55 Degrees
Still a fairly cheap paste, but by a recognized brand.
Bit easier to spread too.
-
HY710 Results:
Cinebench Score of 8085 with wattage peaking at 197.3, Temp of 98 Degrees.
Prime 95 Max temp of 104 at 204 Watts.
3D Mark 16,990 with an avg temperature of 58 Degrees.
To be honest for the cheapest one I have this actually did much better than I expected so far.

I somehow have ended up with lots of thermal paste.
Let's give them all a try and see which wins!

Guys, has anyone opened Minisforum UM890 Pro? Or maybe you've seen a teardown by someone?
I'am wondering if it uses liquid metal or normal thermal paste?
Don't really want to mess with it much if it's liquid metal, but if not - it'd be a good moment to repaste it since I've bought and used it since October :)

Masaüstü bilgisayarımın ekran çıkışı sorunu yüzünden 10 yıldır bakım falan yapmamıştım!
Artık ekran sorunu çözüldüğüne göre termal macununu yenilesem iyi olacak!
Sözde donanımın ortalama TDP (Thermal Design Power) değeri 45-55°C olmalı,
ama boşta 55-60, YouTube videosu izlerken bile 70-80°C ve anlık olarak sürekli 100°C'ları görüyor!
İşlemci yanıp bozulmadan termal macununu yenilemeliyim!
Bunu sipariş verdim;
Arctic MX-4 Termal Macun 4 gr

It makes sense that the thicker the layer of #ThermalPaste is the more it may insulate for heat transfer. It's great to see the data presented so openly here by #der8auer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BfSx5IG42c

Igor’s Lab: Thermal paste database version 3.0 – More accurate and practical data, a technology upgrade and well over 100 tested pastes. “After testing well over 100 thermal pastes, today we have a real upgrade! In today’s presentation of the new database version 3.0, I will explain why the evaluation of thermal pastes based on a simple CPU measurement is often misleading.”

Repasted my Laptop
Idle temps dropped from 55c to 35c
Load temps dropped from 98c to 65cThe old paste had a serious case of pump out and dryout at the same time.

Looks at established "Retro Tech" * Forum -
Everyone : It's recommended that you should replace your thermal paste in laptops every 5-6 years
:: nervously eyes 2006 MacBook ::
Me: uh-oh..
[ Yes! At almost 20 years ago, 2006 is officially Retro and ~that is in fact how Time works~ but I can still be salty about it.
Yes I can. ] -
o hivemind, what's a good place to buy thermal pads for delivery in the UK that's not Amazon? Overclockers, perhaps? RS?
(Recommendations welcome too, but it's only for a Pi 5 that I'm rehousing)
