With the really sticky thermal grease is it hard to separate the heatsink and chip?

Not if you gently twist the heatsink before you pull it off.

Yes, with K5 Pro on ASUS G513QY laptop, taking chamber away was almost impossible, you literally saw how motherboard pushes/bumps up with the chamber, twisting did the job... even PC lab guy who repasted for me, didnt figure twisting, he tried pull it up without success, until I twisted it for him.

Not boiling water. Just get a bowl of hot water from the faucet and let the TIM sit in the water for a few minutes to warm it up. No need for extremes.

Got it, thanks!

One thing have tiny bothering my mind, like two users on reddit reported their SYY dried up 2-3 weeks later and stopped performing, they have as I remember DELL laptops, same time as other feedbacks including yours/this forum say SYY par with TFX quality/performance and wont dry fast. Should be worried or those are individual cases or possibly bad batch of SYY?

My barely 3 month old laptop had like 7-8 repastings (as I had to figure out why GPU hotspot was 103c at peak...and final two repastings as you know... first I did myself which had interesting results but then i thought computer lab would have better results, paid them...sadly they had worst results than me with same gelid paste which I used and brought to them to use for my repasting), so upcoming repaste when syy and iceberg arrive from amazin in about a week, I want make sure I do it as best as I can, so I can avoid another repaste at least for a year.

P.S. for VRAM and VRM I use K5 PRO i bought one more 20 grams K5 Pro to make sure I have enough refiller when I do the dies with SYY.

In 1-2 weeks I should get both SYY and Iceberg Thermal FUZEIce Plus both on its way from US.

So hence I trying gather best I can decisions and feedback until the pastes arriving... :)

I am sticking with my Noctua NT-H2, I trust them as a company, and even if it performs less than something else I don't care. When I needed a spare part, I reached out to Noctua and they sent me the little fan clip all the way from Austria literally within a 72 hour business time frame. They have my business and my respect for life.

There was no need for that. How about you be nice...

You will get it from me for all the posts I made...

1. Temps before using 2-3 benchmarks
2. Temps after repasting day 1
3. Temps after repasting day 3
Do another set of tests after 30 days so we can see if the rumors about SYY drying out have any merit.

As I understand it, Galinstan does not have a great thermal conductivity.

How about you tell HIM to be nice to me?
I know what Asperger's syndrome does to people. I used to go through this stuff as a kid when I used to do it myself. Constantly repeating myself asking the same questions over and over because what anyone "told me" as an answer was either "unbelievable" or "too good to be true.". Like I needed enough confirmation until I exhausted myself.
No offense man, but I really think you should back off. I value my privacy and I don't like my inboxese (Yes, PRIVATE MESSAGES) being SPAMMED by someone asking me the same question. Have a little honor, will you?

if you keep personally attacking me (as you've done several times over the last year), you go on the block list.

I like your name! 'Fueled by Sapphire'... also my favorite brand. If things ever get to normal MSRP in a couple years I will probably go back to them.

Sounds like a plan, will do before, after and in 30 days.

By the way, I talked to SYY store support, and they said:

"Previously, in order to ensure the thermal conductivity of the product, we used thicker raw materials than other products, but we received some feedback that it was difficult to apply. Now that we have improved the raw materials, it will be easier to apply than before. Our products are stored in vacuum tubes, and a very small part of them will become dry due to the air entering. In any case, you can contact us, we will refund you and reissue new products, you can buy with confidence. Our new formula products have all arrived at the Amazon warehouse, and are delivered by Amazon, cannot decide which one they deliver."

So I hope I get the new formula, sounds like it is easier to spread lol.

Thank you.

MX-5 looks no bad, room temp on 19 degrees, with a 360 AIO, case closed

You should get the new formula. I had some really thick stuff from them, I have gone through a few tubes now and it applies much nicer. Good paste. Might not be the bestest, but for the price it is the bestest (maybe)

Well I hope I get new formula in few days arrive will figure out. Any idea how I understand its a new one? Any package difference from old formula?

SYY support told me if I get old formula and I don't like it for a good reason, they will send me new formula replacement.

BTW any performance, Life, pumpout / dry out difference between old and new?

No pumpout, package looks the same iirc. It will be a little thicker than regular paste, but not overly, and not like my tube of TFX was, that was seriously thick. But it worked great. TFX is my fave, but SYY at its price is pretty tough to beat imo.

Excited to see Temps/scores on ryzen 5900Hx and rx6800m after moving from gelid gc extreme to SYY :)
