latest
I'd rather overspend on these boring PC parts than regret them later
If it means avoiding headaches later, I'll gladly pay for it
I stopped repasting my CPU every year after learning what actually degrades thermal paste
Turns out, I just needed thermal paste that lasted longer.
These 3 tweaks improved my thermals more than any cooler upgrade
Splurging on high-end AIOs is overrated when you have these options.
My AIO failed constantly until I switched to a tower cooler and learned the real difference
Less hassle, more cooling
My next CPU cooler will be an AIO liquid cooler, and the reason has nothing to do with temperatures

Don't waste your PC upgrade budget until you've fixed these 3 things first
You can't just blindly upgrade your CPU or GPU.
I swapped my AIO for a cheap air cooler, and my temps barely changed
360mm AIOs help, just not as much as you think.
Your CPU temps won't improve until you fix these 3 mistakes
It's not your cooler or thermal paste that's the problem.
I reapplied thermal paste multiple times, but that wasn't the real problem

Your gaming PC feels sluggish because you ignored these 3 upgrades
Your PC isn’t balanced if you're only upgrading your CPU and GPU.
3 signs you need a contact frame, not a new CPU cooler or thermal paste

Your cooler isn't the reason your CPU runs hot
Even a 360mm AIO won't always keep your CPU cool
4 reasons your CPU runs hot even with a good cooler
Even the best CPU coolers can be limited by other factors.
Better thermal paste won't compensate for poor cooler contact
Even a $20 paste won't save you from high temperatures.
The difference between good and great thermal paste is smaller than you think
That $20 paste isn't going to make a big difference.
Stop worrying about pre-applied thermal paste on your CPU cooler
The stock thermal paste isn't the problem it's made out to be
I’ve used the same CPU cooler for a decade, and it’s still going strong
Buy once, cry once
Stop chasing lower CPU temps, it’s not what’s holding your PC back
A cooler CPU isn't going to magically fix all your issues
My CPU cooler is from 2020, and it still holds its own
I didn't expect an AIO to surprise me in terms of longevity
