Thermal Paste Applicator (Survey)

Dermighty

Hi all.

I'm hoping it's ok to post this:

I'm in the process of developing a thermal paste applicator and I'd like some feedback via a very short survey. It would really help if you'd take a minute to fill it out.

Thanks!

Completed survey, it would definitely be a good idea to have that product, especially for people who are applying thermal paste often. Good idea.

Would make me change the thermal paste more often for better thermal performances.

Have you made a prototype? Any tests versus traditional pea method?

It would be a hard sell to people who have built frequently if there is no measurable temp difference. Maybe for first timers or those doing builds to sell on if they are doing a lot

I don't see the point to be honest .... even if I had such a tool I doubt I would use it.

I think it's a great idea .

I think the existing 'pea' method is pretty accurate to be fair for most people...

Completed the survey there.

I doubt I'd use such a device myself, but I reckon this would be useful for first-time builders, depending on how exactly the device works.
I've seen some woeful jobs over the years; paste squeezing out over the edge of the socket, all over caps - I reckon some people have differing ideas on how big a pea should be.

Therein lies the problem , I mean first thing in the morning or after a load of pints is usually a lot more than middle of the day , plus I never really measured it , just flush
