Dude, put the cooler on with the acrylic sheet and then test them. That’ll be the most accurate, and you’ll see that the results will be a lot closer, if not the same

Based on every other video answering this question already, the results are basically the exact same unless your cooler has a non-central hotspot which is silicon lottery and, so your request is basically useless from a general information standpoint. Just go watch someone else’s video on it.

If you want full coverage you have to add a few brushstrokes for pubes...

So the x and very small dots in between should get you near 100% coverage right?

I use their 2nd option. X method without spreader.

This was a brilliant way of testing and giving us a direct visual result. Thank you. I’ve been a one line two dot man but will now convert to an x man.

Dot is fine for an IHS that is perfectly square (same length and width), the reason why you are not getting good coverage is because you can’t archive the same pressure just pressing down on it with your hands, as a cooler would be able to. For intel’s oblong IHS a line from top to bottom will be fine.

When you fully tighten a cooler it does much more pressure than your hand. Even with a smaller amount than the pea just from tightening it’ll eventually cover the full IHS

I need to see thermal benchmarks for proof the X has been a golden rule for a lot of PC builders

If I bought the whole tube, I use the whole tube

Mine is X with dots on each side. I think it's the best option that resolve all the problems with other patterns

The asterisk gets you 100% coverage

spread manually, you take 3 minutes max and you make sure it's enough, it's thin, it cover the entire ihs and if you live about half cm on every side even if you squeeze the cooler to the max it doesn't spill over on any side

You don't actually need coverage to the very edge, there's nothing there. Good to know where the actual semiconductor dies sit under the lid and just achieve coverage there.

Heat also helps it spread. Pea size, don’t tighten it down where you can’t back screws off, run it for a hour stress testing and then tighten cpu cooler completely down. You’ll find this method gives you complete coverage every time. The only time you need to alter than pattern is with larger IHS cpus such as threadripper, epyc, xeons

What if you do a little square in the middle? The circle expands into a bigger circle so maybe the swuare will expand into a perfect square

Dont use a pattern. Just spred it by hand… patterns are for systemintegrtors in a hurry Business

i heard something about the oils from your finger affecting the thermals heavily or something like that but im not sure if its true

Dude I was so confused on what was happening in the beginning

I do like a 4 leaf clover

Empty whole tube, covers everything. Boom.

A square with a dot in the middle, absolute best for near 100% coverage with minimum spilling

I use a spatula every time. At least I'm sure the spread will be perfect.

Watched a video about which method is best and it seems it doesn't matter as kong as you have enough to cover the center for the nost part

Amazing people dont realize how tight heatsinks are to the cpu heatspreader, they are literally screwed in for tightness. That pea sized ball is going to cover the entire heatsink without issue when the appropriate pressure is applied and the cpu heats up. Any more is going to be way to much, and when its too thick it doesnt give proper contact to the copper pipes

i keep taking the cooler on and off and adding more till the whole IHS is covered

A center dot and a square gives about half to 3/4 of the way. It is the perfect coverage because if done correctly, there is no waste and everything is fully covered.

I say that a X & dot combo would work really well

When your test cpu is better than my actual cpu.... I'll trade you my R5 3600 for that R7 3700x hehe.

Spread it out put the cooler down to get the tension on the cpu take the cooler off put slightly more on to make up for the air pockets

The X with 4 dots! Always works for me.😊

X + small dots between each side. Covers the whole thing without needing to paint it on, never comes out over the sides if you use the right amount.

X and 4 dots is the best

Bro the first seconds sounded like a schizofrenics dream

Perfectly cut 😂

X and 4 dots for full coverage

Can you try a target

No because if you own a Ryzen with 2 CCD’s located on the bottom of the IHS that’s the part that gets hotter so spread it like butter thinly the buy a good cooler or an aio with a offset brackets as so to cover those CCD’s and it keeps the CPU even cooler.

I like the 💀 pattern

I like the single, diagonal line.

X with small dots 100% coverage

If you really need to not "paint" it, just make for example 9 dots (3x3 pattern), or even more (like 5x5 or more), because you need to transfer heat from as much surface, as possible, and that way you waste around 20% of exchanging surface ;) But still "painting" is the best method, just do not be lazy :)

@shathaan1763

How do you paint it so it doesn't leave excess?

small x, 4 small dots centered at each 90 angle on the x. x with 4 dots around it basically, it covers my whole cpu without excess squeezing off

I use a dot. You don't need much. You want the cooler to make as close contact with the IHS as possible.

dot is the best 100% always coverage sometimes little more extra

I use a pea dot get a thermal camera and check the heat on the die it doesn’t heat up evenly doesnt matter if the whole die isn’t covered

Just use the normal pea size dot I the middle, the reason why it didn’t have much coverage was due to a lack of pressure. When you put a cooler on it puts more pressure and evens it all out perfectly

X with 4 little dots is 100percent coverage

Balls and shaft is also a fan fav

Frost the cake. You need to frost the cake 🎂

i use the "spread it with a toothpick"

the dota 2 logo pattern

I'm using a spatula that I got from Thermal Grizzly

I spread mine thinly and put a x on it but just thin to cover the air bubbles. Works perfectly fine. I cinema bench it and monitored temps

Why not two lines - about equidistant from the edge but with a space in between that is slighltly wider.

3 horizontal lines work great

X is the best and I love the funny essence of the video lol

X and 4 small dots filling it in

My pattern? Full coverage using a circular motion with the tip. It fully covers the whole heatspreader with no "overflow"

The dot is simply the best. I build 3 pc for my siblings and maintain them once every year. There are a noctua cooler, a bequiet cooler and arctic cooler. The dot spread till the edge on every systeme every year

I use the spread method and make sure it's totally coverer before installing my cooler.

i have a secret thermal application i will never tell !! 😂😂

X with dots on each side does wonders

Maybe square with a dot in the middle

Why not pre-apply a really thin layer to aid in the spread of the main lines and then do the x, for almost 100% coverage.

What about a big circle like the first one in the vid with 4 dots on the sides

I just put it all in the middle and use the spatula to spread it all out until its completely covered, no need for any design as that way it is 100% covered

Kryosheet ftw

Day 5 of asking if the dart can run flight simulator

You earned my like just from the end part😂😂

Best method is the cake or buttered toast method. I spread a nice coating, and it’s perfect

center dot would be good, just install your hsf tightly, it would spread by itself nicely

The issue is it isn't just the coverage, but the thickness of application. You want a very thin layer.

You also have to realize the part that heats up a CPU is directly in the middle of the CPU. Ideally yea you want to spread it all over but in the center of it will do just fine. (I recommend the X)

meanwhile me with a spatula or a plastic butter knife 😂....... it's the best guys trust me

Bro that looks good but it doesn’t work

I bought a full tube… I’m gonna use a full tube

Mine is spatula cause i make sure it's actually covered.

Make a squre in the mid area of the cpu and a snall dot in mid thats what i do to get the best coverage

What about a square in the middle of the CPU? Thats obviously the best

Ya line on left side then spread it out works perfectly always

i like the 3 lines method

I use an x and get the excess off with 4 lil dots in the spaces.

X with a dot in all slots. Maximal 100% covering

The small drop at the beginning and then wrap cling film around your finger and spread. It is then perfectly applied and you don't have to worry about it.

Wait we aren’t supposed to use the whole tube 😰😰😰

What if you do 4 dots in the corners, or do a diagonal line and dots in the other corners?

I spead it with a little circle motion never had a problem always have full coverage

The pea in the middle works fine as the pressure is greater than you can apply by hand .
