i just use a dot

currently use kyronaut tho which has a nice spreading thing

best thermal paste you can buy appreantly

saying that

he makes it look 1000000x easier than it is

i bought the ZM one when i was pc-building noob

in practise it's much harder to use than whatever as it's so much thicker

and fell in love with the thing

yeah artic includes that spoon too these days

ofc professionals use only thermal interface tape

(funfact those pads insulate usualy more than conduct depending on size)

nth1 is cheeper and better

I prefer that, too. Much easier and less messy to apply @Tervy

Grizzly actually fixed most of my throttling issues I have with this shitty thonkpad

fucking expensive shit though

A gram of that paste retails for around $15 in Canada

what shitty thonkpad

yeah pretty muc

@porco idk just putting a small dot down is quicker and cleaner

I use those spreader things

yes but then my autism always makes me think that the dot might either have been too much or not enough

and I continue questioning myself

a tape is much nicer

you see the whole CPU is covered and you don´t have to think about it any further, instead you just go on with your life

@Hiruzen T420

>1366x768

it's 1600x900

that's not so much better but still better

Better than 1366x768.

tfw IPS panel on x220 still at 720p

It's an IPS panel as well, doesn't look too bad.

I've seen better.

can you mod it to 1080p?

I think so

what's the point on something as small as an x220

even my 11.6" chink laptop that I bought for 90 $ in Taiwan has 1080p

netbooks are amazing

I'd never get something larger than 12 "

Netbooks are pretty nice, except for the small keyboard

11.6" is perfect
