Guys,
I have something in my mind,
Is it possible that I use lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
Cheers...

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
I'd just use some AC MX-2 i have but I think they have MX-4 now.
If you are out and it's very temporary another aussie used vegemite. Cracked me up when i read it years ago. www.dansdata.com/goop.htm
I'd say lithium may get runny when hot and weep the liquids from the solids in it. I know my lithium grease gun will leave a pool under it anyway.Last edited by junktv; 09-10-2016, 02:20 AM. -

Tooth paste is a good idea....I don't need to wait it shipping

it has a high melting point for lithium grease :

Just use thermal paste.Please Do Not PM My Page Asking For Help Badcaps Is The Place For Advise, Page Linked For Business Reasons Only. Anyone Doing So Will Be Banned Instantly !

You won't believe what I've been using! For the price of cheap silicon paste (.1 oz) I can get a CAN of general purpose lithium grease (32 oz) and it actually works as well if not better. It's made for machinery and has a melting point of over 90C.
I want to use thermal paste....but it's running out....Comment

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
As mentioned there are many types of non thermal paste can be used as thermal paste, toothpaste, lithium grease, vegemite, etc The problem is how these substitutes performs long term. Toothpaste dries out very quickly and becomes ineffective, the lithium grease likely to run out.
Depending what the cpu/motherboard is, there m might not be any thermal protection.
Substitutes i'd use for testing not long term but considering the cheapness of thermal paste, I don't see the point.Comment

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
As per the Sanken SI-8008HFE datasheet:
"Volatile-type silicone greases may permeate the product and produce cracks after long periods of time, resulting in reduced heat radiation effect, and possibly shortening the lifetime of the product."My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

just buy a big 20g pack of MX-4Comment

good idea, I'll buy the big pack...but another waiting game

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
Looks like it's better using lithium grease....my CPU AMD Athlon 64 x2 is doing 22 degree celcius...constant...I put it for few hours test already...Comment

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
That is lower than room temperature (ref. to 25c).
How is the temp measured? The reading in the BIOS? The HWMONITOR?
What is your room temperature?
Are you sure the reading is accurate?Last edited by budm; 09-12-2016, 10:06 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Lithium grease as a CPU thermal grease ?
It's measured by BIOS directly...the sensor is on the bottom of the CPU...
Yes the room temperature is cool now....around 17-20...Comment

Forgive me this is my first request for help on this forum, so if i've screwed up or not followed the rules i should have i apologise profusely.
I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.

Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

I am considering a Lithium battery conversion for our Likorall 200 Ceiling Hoist as it is about at the end of its current set of batteries but I was wondering if there are any considerations I need to think about such as voltage regulation.
It is used for powered transfers of a disabled person from chair to bed a few times a day in a private household. It is our own property and is 6 years old.

It is fitted with a pair of Yuasa 12V 2.4Ah AGM batteries in series for a 24V system. The batteries are the long thin type with the terminals on one end... -
Dear members,
I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
I guess the thermal paste... -
Hey guys, I need help with my personal MSI GP62MVR-7RF. Annoying fan / thermal issue.
Machine Idle. Fan will spin medium speed for 4 seconds, then off for 1 second. Repeat forever.
CPU and GPU are cold. No load, just sitting doing nothing.
It's clean inside, nothing blocked. New MX4 paste.
Updated BIOS, EC, and VBIOS but nothing's helped.
Schematic shows 2 thermal resistors, but they're OK.
All thermal signals are good, inc PCH.
Has anyone ever come across this ? Any idea what to do ?
Could it be a faulty CPU / PCH / KBC ? I REALLY don't want...09-16-2024, 02:14 PM
