In desktop computers, heat dissipation performance is a very important indicator. Although good heat dissipation conditions cannot directly bring us performance enhancement, it is one of the important indicators to ensure the stable operation of computers. Nowadays, many MODs are in the direction of The development of the radiator industry can be seen.
The grease plays an integral role as the heat transfer medium between the processor and the top cover of the heat sink. Without grease, no better heatsink performance can be achieved. Today we specialize in testing a heat transfer medium, but Instead of using common silicone grease, here are a bunch of wonderful things:
L'Occitane Hand Cream, Heinz Ketchup, HiChen Honey, LT COOLING Liquid Gold, Mentholatum Compound Menthol Ointment, Duck E-Smoke Oil, We will use Dow Corning 5026 Silicone Grease as reference. The processor uses AMD Ryzen 1800X, Motherboard Asus ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING, Radiator is Boxed 2700X Original RGB Ghost Radiator.
I do not know the truth of the 1800X
When I chose the 1800X as a test processor, the flamingo next to it felt strange: 2700X is next to you, why don't you use it? The opposite little wolf started: Last time, the spicy bar didn't know what to apply to the 1800X. There is no word on the top cover, you want to let him scourge me 2700X? Probably the reason is like this, Do not believe your own look on the map. Quietly tell you that this hot strip will prepare to grind this U to a mirror copper , Look at whether the cooling effect is good in the legend, you must not tell the wolf.
MIKU says the room is too hot
Next we started testing, we use AIDA 64, single-bake FPU, to maximize the power consumption of the processor. For compatibility reasons, temperature detection software uses AMD's own overclocking software - AMD Ryzen Master, the data will be more accurate. Real-time room temperature is 30 °C, please feel bad spicy bar, sitting sweating.
Indoor temperature 30
The first test is naturally a benchmark, using Dow Corning 5021. This silicone grease is very viscous, and it is not easy to apply it evenly. When you apply it evenly, obsessive-compulsive disorder is all right now! Don't believe you look at this pattern yourself, Particularly comfortable.
Evenly apply grease
The standby temperature after power on is 46.5°C, which is 16.5°C higher than the room temperature. For this type of heatsink, it can only be reluctantly accepted. Generally, the difference between the heatsink and the heatsink is not too different. Let's take a look. Baking machine temperature conditions.
Standby temperature 46.5
Recorder temperature 74.75
The temperature of the roasting machine is 74.75°C, it collides with the temperature wall and is automatically down-converted to 3.58Ghz. After all, the temperature in the room is really not low. If the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature performance will be much better. 5021, PASS!
L'Occitane Hand Cream
The second is L'Occitane Hand Cream. To tell the truth, there is still a bit of pain when squeezing on the CPU. The density of the hand cream is not that great, and the molecules are not very tightly combined, so instead of paving, we will directly Radiator pressure can be up.
L'Occitane Hand Cream
After the machine was turned on, the software was turned on and found that the temperature was stable at 42.38°C. It was surprisingly even lower than the temperature of silicone grease. Is it really a material problem?
Hand cream standby 42.38
The temperature of the machine is soaring
After the pager waited for the temperature to stabilize, it stabilized to 75.13°C, triggering the direct overheating of the temperature wall and lowering the frequency. It appears that the initial standby temperature conditions are all false. Use the hand cream as the heat-conducting medium does not fly at all, PASS!
Heinz Ketchup
The tomato ketchup thing is still relatively easy to find. For example, if you go downstairs for a KFC, or you can get a McDonald's at a distance, you can easily get it, but I don’t want to! Finally, after waiting for half a month, someone called a Dick’s takeout. This recipe for tomato ketchup is just a must. The character of tomato ketchup is similar to that of hand cream, so it is not applied.
What happened to AMD when you bleed?
Standby temperature 50.75
When the spicy strips saw that the standby temperature of the ketchup reached 50.75, they had silently voiced GG! Your standby temperature was so high that the pager did not have to play!
Really hit the wall
After the third test, it was found that after crashing the temperature wall, the wall temperature stabilized at 74.75. Therefore, the temperature of the pager in the case of wall down-clocking is not of reference value, and it can only be judged whether it can carry such a large heat flow. Ketchup, PASS!
Xichen good honey
In fact, this spicy stick was initially rejected by honey, but it was of interest to see it sticky inside the bottle. The viscosity of honey is still relatively large. However, according to experience, this bottle of honey is definitely hand-to-hand. Only use the brush to pick it up.
The effect of honey
Since the viscosity of honey itself is very large, it can only be spread out with a small brush. Now, the taste of this motherboard is getting more and more complex, and in the end the CPU will probably become mixed taste. So far, tomato sauce came back to honey, CPU may meditation in my heart is sweet and sour.
Standby temperature 45.88
Recorder temperature 74.75
The temperature of the honey at the time of standby is 45.88. Don't think about it. It will certainly be over 10 degrees above room temperature. Sure enough, 74.75 appears again, and the main frequency has dropped to 3.65GHz. Honey, PASS!
Liquid gold
In fact, all of us are familiar with liquid metal. It is a kind of ramie-based material. It is then transformed into an alloy by various smelting methods. It eventually becomes the paste liquid gold that we use. However, unfortunately I share an APPLE with myself. ID, I'm going to delete it over there, and I'm still fast deleting it with the recycle bin. So I can only put a picture that was tested to show the traits.
Liquid gold must be brushed flat
Liquid gold standby temperature 35.38
After using liquid gold, suddenly discovered that this is the lowest standby temperature of a heat transfer medium, 35.38 degrees, is also the most hopeful cooling success.
Copying machine temperature 72.75
In fact, 72.75 degrees can only make people reluctant to accept. After all, the original ghost radiator TDP is not so high, that is, you can use it on the line, but let people happy that the CPU does not trigger the temperature wall to start the down protection, but the frequency Still at 3.7GHz. Liquid Gold, YES!
Mentholatum mint cream
After a few hours of testing, it's time to refresh. It's time to give up the mint cream. It tastes so cool. When I use the brush handle to pick out some mint cream, it's cool. Got up! Scared I quickly drew a IQOS to calm down.
Mint cream melts when it is hot
When the mint cream is in the bottle, it is creamy. It can only be picked out on the top cover with a brush handle, and it will melt into a liquid when it is hot, so you don't need to brush it. Press the radiator directly. Mint cream is the only material in this test environment that can undergo phase change, so it is called phase change mint cream!
Standby temperature 42.5
The pager still lowers the frequency
After half a day of torturing, the results of the mint cream finally came out. In the standby situation, the results were fairly normal. However, after the pager did not bring refreshing to the CPU, the final conclusion was: The mint cream can only refresh people. Invalid for CPU! Mint cream, PASS!
Duck electronic cigarette oil
The bear student sitting next to me once recommended me the yogurt bottle I had drunk yesterday, but when I got the yogurt bottle, the smell was really refreshing than the mint cream. After all, the room temperature was really not low. When I thought about it, I grabbed his duck smoke oil and looked at the effect.
Directly to the CPU
The main body of tobacco oil is glycerin, sweet, can be used as a food additive, said smoke oil, in fact, is water-soluble, low molecular binding density, liquid at room temperature, without smearing, can be directly pressed on the processor.
Standby temperature 53.75
After checking on the machine, I found that this was the worst batch of smoke oil I had ever smoked. No, it was the worst performing heat transfer medium. The standby temperature actually reached 53.75. It can be imagined what happened to the copying machine.
Wall downs become inevitable
From the previous standby temperature point of view, the downclocking is certain, but the frequency actually dropped 0.05GHz, the CPU voltage once fell to 1.28V, it seems that using smoke oil really does not fly.
I was hunted
After a series of tests, the only one with the best thermal conductivity is the liquid gold. All other media have been PASSed off. I will consider the 'wax wax' when the water is cooled.
Learn wax
In essence, although menthol can bring refreshing feeling to people, it is ineffective for CPU. I think this is related to the difference in the structure of the two, after all, the water content in the brain is still very high. Ketchup, whether from McDonald's, KFC, or Dix, cannot be used as a good heat transfer medium. Therefore, honestly use the commercially available normal materials as the hottest media.
In the test with mint cream, the radiator fan turned up and the colleagues from the near to distant stations looked up in order to look for the smell. When I picked out the mint cream little by little, the donkey said more and put more in the side. Let's put it aside, and at this time I feel full, but in the end the little donkey insists that the mint cream eventually spills out.
At first, the coyote looked at me suspiciously and asked me what I was trying to do. I said that it was sleepy to mention Mint. After all the tests were completed, the donkey actually betrayed me and called the coyotes over to see him. What did the CPU look like? The wolf did not say anything. He took a knife and a brush and asked me to pick one. Hey, nothing said, Wash the board...
