Scythe thermal paste

carrypto · Dec 27, 2015

Hi guys,

i am new here, but i cant find topic what can solve my problem.

Yesterday i bought a new cooler Scythe Ninja 4 for my old box Sandy Bridge i5 2500k. This cooler is good from what i heard so i expect huge improvement.

But in this box they gave me a thermal paste from Scythe.I wannted to know if the paste is good / bad from reviews and i cant find nothing.

I am at work so i am sorry i cant show u that thermal paste.

Well can anyone of you guys tell me if the thermal paste is for good use or i should buy a new tested one ?

Thx for your time,

Carrypto

The one that comes with your cooler should work just fine. Most of the time it is the application of thermal paste that affects the heat disperse. Take a look at these articles, they will be helpful for you:

Yeah, it'll be fine. At most you'll gain a couple degrees C with better paste, but it's not worth worrying about.
