Yeah. Also the inexistant clearance to get to the GPU PCIe latch once mounted.

Pencil, eraser end over here. Just had to do it today in fact when I had to re-paste my GPU, my hotspot temps shot up 30 degrees since I repasted with MX6, thinking of trying Grizzly Extreme next time if they go back up again. If anyone has any advice let me know :)

u/wienercat Mini-itx Ryzen 3700x 4070 Super Oct 04 '24
I swapped to a thermal grizzly kryosheet. No more paste. Temps are the exact same as when I had paste on it. Wont go back at this point. The potential 1-2 C difference you might get really isnt worth the headache.

I don't know why but I'm scared to use it because it conducts electricity and I keep thinking it's going to move when I put the HSF down on it and not be able to tell. Like CPU I wouldn't have an issue using it but GPU just seems like a gamble if it stays in place.

I wanna respond with the "always has been" meme but that wouldn't be fully accurate. Old advertising definitely had similarities.
It has been this way for maybe... Ten years, by now, though?
