We await with bated breath!
How sad is it that 99% of us will trust a dude on a forum who has been a member for 13 years but has only accumulated 700 posts [no offense, housecat lol], over a well known YouTuber with a successful business in addition... Saad sad sad if you ask me
I think Linus' tests are legit or I wouldn't have bought it. I am older than Linus, and I've been doing this a lot longer than he has, and a lot earlier than my reg date of 2005. He's a smart kid but it's nice to get results from the street.
I doubt it will be a death blow at all unless they get it going a bit better from what I understand it was 1-2 degree worse than ic diamond but we have a wide choice of pastes that out perform even that... So it is really slightly worse than entry level. I dunno it might be good for grandmas machine but I have like 45g of as5 still I even have some arctic silver 1.
I would like to see longer term testing after the traditional paste has settling time and liquid metal and thermal grizzly pastes compared to this.
Also I would like a direct die cpu used bust out an old p3 or tbred to run temps on.
Well, I guess my 2700X is a grandma rig. And, IC Diamond is now entry-level trash. This is not only hilarious, it's why I only have 700 posts. I fiddle with a lot of gear, but don't post all the cool stuff here precisely to avoid listening to this stupid BS.
