Hi doods, I'm going to rape my i3570k soon
I've been reading lots of discussions on the subject and I've finally decided to use the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro (not the Ultra) between the die and the ihs and eventually between the ihs and my noctua heatsink as well. I know the main problem of the Liquid Pro is that it hardens (at least the thin part on the contact surface) and it's quite hard to be wiped out with "standard methods" (yeah, there's no way
), but I've also read someone saying its performance are degradating over (short) time, meaning a period of about 6 months, not years.
I'd like to know if that's true and in how many degrees this "degradation" can be estimated. 1°c? 3°c? more? less?
In this case going with the Ultra (a little less instant performance compared to the Pro but easy to remove) looks like the best choice over time.
