Weekly Ramblecast 017: A Post-Paste Individual
🕑 Added 2021-10-05 21:57:30 +0000 UTCVinny and Alex have done the impossible... they hung out, in person. We ramble all about their burgeoning two-man band and the 16-core monstrosity they built, plus more topics like Squid Game, the oeuvre of Armando Iannucci, way too many iPhones, Robert Downey Jr.'s shocking Doolittle voice, surviving on just protein or just fat (tip: don't try either), the beauty of beige PC fans, and more.

Also AFAIK thermal pads are worse than a good thermal paste, unless things have changed in the past year or so.

Hiya! GamersNexus did a thermal paste test where they tried out a bunch of different application techniques and the tl;dw is that you can only use too little. As long as you have enough to cover the heatsink it doesn't matter. The video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWVVTY63hc
