*EPIC THREAD* Major Problems with Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Thermal Compound DEAD CPU

setter said:
This thread makes me lol everytime i see it pop up. Tbh, if you take your time and apply this stuff properly you'll have no issues. Ive found it to be 5c better than top end pastes like mx4, pk1 etc. On delidded haswell/ivybridge chips, temp drops of 20c are not uncommon using theese.

Impressive :cool:

Aren't the IHS on most CPUs aluminium?

No they are plated copper

Im using it on my de-lidded 4770k between the core and IHS, and even considered using it on the other side too between my water block which is nickle platted copper and the IHS, never had a problem using it either, is a bit of a pain to clean off though if you ever have too, use a scouring pad is the best way ive found yet with some iso alcohol.
 
Tbh Matt, id stick with the ultra for the cpu. I was wary/dubious about using it and the claims of big temp drops. After rather nervously applying it the first time, i couldnt go back to a normal paste. Clu is supplied with a small brush, so being a painter ive got quite adept at applying it.

The only material you should never use it on is aluminium, but i can honestly say ive never seen a cooler with an aluminium base.

Nah you've put me off now mate. :p

I was on the fence anyway tbh, but that tipped me over the edge. Gelid is only 1.5c hotter (according to Toms) and the next best out of all of them so im happy with that.

Cans of coke love CLU :D
Makes it feel like paper after a few mins.

MX-4 for GPUs and CLU for delidded chips (i dont use for normal chips, as i don't like the staining)
 
all these people using this product with no issues.

I suppose you all have more than 4 diplomas in hardware, network and software support?

For gpu's id reccomend MX4, or see if you can blag a free sample of the ic diamond stuff thats being given away. But for the cpu, clu everytime, it does leave a bit of staining though when removed.

Gelid GC Extreme is also a good compound for GPU's. That is what I have on my 2 7970's and they rarely go above 40 degrees. :D

The big slabs of copper and water running through them help as well tbf.
 
This thread is amazing.

It kinda reminds me of this youtube video I watched a while back consisting of someone trying to do an instructional video on how to water cool a PC whilst totally failing in the process (like killing their pump and melting their CPU type failing) and acting as though nothing was wrong.

A similar level of fail mixed with arrogance displayed by the OP.
