    How much better was it?

    Seems like people are usually like *HAHA problem solved* and when they get it back together temps are only down 3-5C.

    It’s kinda crazy to me that the thermal transfer is so poor just because of a thin piece of … wait I actually don’t know what that material is lol

    At least you don’t have to clean the old paste off the cooler!

    That label is as evident as coffee is hot.

    Always remember to take off the hard mode sticker

  11. Rookie mistake 😂 enjoy the new cooler temps

    Where can I buy a thermal paste cleaner like that?

    They added bright colours, a pull tab, a warning, I’m convinced they have to print a picture of a dick and balls for people to stop doing this.

    It’s really hard to keep Temps down on amd CPU. You really need to use a water cooling, even though I’m against them. I’m paranoid it will leak and destroy all my components.

    It’s wild that a piece of plastic is capable of handling temps close to boiling water

    you left the hard mode sticker on lol

    The Four Horsemen of PC building:

    1. Glass side window on tile floor
    2. Didn’t peel the “please remove” sticker from CPU cooler
    3. HDMI cable plugged into motherboard iGPU
    4. AIO radiator mounted wrong

    I like how you just pasted right over the warning label, telling you to remove this first 😂😂
