2nd ever Extreme Cooling Run (Dry Ice) Completed cinebench at speed above on single-core, but couldn't complete multi-core. As you can see from my screenshot; during the run the temp would always jump from -53 to about -13 (when it would crash). Is this normal; or a bad mount? I was measuring socket temps from hwinfo64. Thanks!
Properly applied TIM?
Yes, definitely. I used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I spread it all over evenly (then added a "tiny" extra blob in the middle) too; for good measure.
I included a picture of how it looked after I removed it (at the end of the run).
How does that look to you guys?
TIM layer looks very thick. Next time you might want to try what I do: pre-heat the pot with a hot air gun or even a hairdryer and apply the paste on the pot, rather than on the cpu. Mount it, but twist a little before tightening the bolts.
I know Roman shows how "easy" it is to spread the Kryonaut with the supplied applicator, but in reality my Kryonaut looks much thicker and harder to spread compared to his video. It falls apart and the pieces stick to the applicator, rather than the IHS, so pre-heating the surface and the syringe helps to make it a little more liquid than it is. I'd say I'm rather disappointed by Kryonaut.
