Hi,
I can't find a recommended coffee lake specific thermal compound application method, I am using GC-Extreme thermal compound
on the arctic silver website it recommends a vertical line for i7 but they recommend this this method for up to 7th gen and coffee lake is 8th gen with more cores so...
in the past i've used grain of rice method on single core and centre line on quad core and not had any problems (I used AS5 on these occasions, don't know how GC-Extreme will differ) so I'm leaning toward vertical line but for the 8700 what do you think?
Thanks
