In brief: It was exciting when this paste came out and I had it ordered practically day 1, that type of excitement gets rarer and rarer the older we get, and I still cherish that giddiness. I know a lot of you don't, perhaps never did, paste is paste. That thrill of the latest tech, of getting the most out of your system, tweaking, testing, experimenting, we have all been there, we have enjoyed it, we have hated it, but most of all I think we all recognize that it is part of a deeper experience of the human condition. It's the same thing the original explorers of the ocean felt in their wooden ships, its the same thing with the James Webb Space Telescope launching tomorrow, this constant pursuit of pursuing and pushing the limits of optimal efficacy to allow a deeper awareness of our existence to unfold...
It doesn't really matter if I prefer my MX-4, or another paste, that's not what the 'feeling' this thread was created out of, and above all, that is the overall message I hope people understand. Pursue that feeling, my greatest fear is the day, everything becomes a routine, and the only passion I have left is the next meal...
Merry Christmas to those of you who kept this thread alive and contributed to it. It now has 96k views and 36 pages long... most threads I make are in the range of 500-2000 range in views... so these numbers are just mind blowing to me, especially since its something I never personally followed up on, if a topic was to get this many views, and I had to place a bet on which of my topics would get that... it would have been my Arctic Laptop Modification project, cause well it was a hell of a lot of fun for me personally... lol (though I have a deep hatred for laptop manufactures not just adding extra weight to laptops that are high end gaming ones, they aren't meant to be portable if they have a high end gpu imo, they are meant to be desktop replacements and plugged in on the go/easier mobility than a full desktop). A lot of us have that use case for them but the market doesn't seem to care, and instead prefers overheating, so frankensteining the hell out of it was a lot of fun for me, someday my ultimate project is going to be to create a mini ITX setup in a small briefcase, with a 23.8" 1080p high refresh screen as the monitor, so that all you have to do is sit the brief case down, and the lid opens up to the screen, and a custom keyboard folds down, a hole pre-routed for the mouse, etc. but anyone seeing me carrying it will think its just a traditional businessman briefcase, lol
Anyways, no other thread even comes within a fraction of this ones view count that I have made, so tangent aside, thank you all! I'd bet money someone at Arctic has seen this thread btw, lol
this thread is dead now, no need to resurrect it, just wanted to share it below:
so. I am getting awfully sick and tired of seeing my cpu and gtx 1070 reach 95 celsius in gaming (it needs re-pasted I think, but I can't do a re-paste cause the screws are stripped too bad, but even with re-paste it would still be doing 80ish) I was thinking. these new fanless coolers from...
