Waterblocks and air coolers both share the common trait of a metal cold plate that makes contact with the CPU for heat transfer. This needs to be protected, and not all protection is created equal. What happens to your Core i9 if you forget to peel that little piece of plastic? Let's find out.

Underrated comment
@Thibaut Snoeijs (3WEA) how does that change anything op said lol?
Its kinda a fact that, depending on the game 5-80% have never even played the game once.
I probably own over a hundred games I haven't played once.
This reminds me of an old friend of mine.
He didn't want me to build a system for him, and wanted it to be done by a professional.
His i7 7700 was running at over 90c in every single game, despite it being cooled by a Hyper 212 Evo.
He wanted to buy a water cooler, as the i7 must be a really hot running cpu.
Asked him if I can take a look at it, and after a lot of back and forth he finally agreed.
-> Plastic wasn't peeled, after reapplying the thermal paste, it maxed out at 64 degrees Celsius.
What a stuck up person he sounds like...
@@ReZhorw I mean, just wanting done by a professional isn't crazy, even if you trust your friend, those are expensive components, and professionals are insured and would be legally responsible for the damages.
@@ReZhorw It's pretty normal to want professional work if your spending a lot of money, rather than just trusting a friend...

I'm not even a little bit worried. My computer runs shockingly cool even at full load (which is often, it's a proper workstation). I always go absurdly over-cooled on my builds so even when overclocked (if I ever bother), fans don't even need to really spin up, and it stays super quiet.

I remember when I built my current rig. I installed my cooler and booted to check temps and they were really high. Did a reseat and the same. Only on the third time did I remember to peel off the plastic.
@@sijedevos2376 yeah all noctua coolers have preapplied thermal paste and no peel necessary afaik.

I accidentally tried it with a r5 3600 , removing it with the peel resulted in 10-25 C° drop ... Got over 20 years of PC building experience . Helps to not be distracted.
Literally same here. Went from constantly throttling at 90 to anywhere between 65-70
How to increase your cooler's cooling capacity by 25 °C:
Step #1 - Build the PC incorrectly.
The reason I couldn't make this mistake is I have to double check if the heatsink surface is nice and clean before putting it on.
Ditto.

I did this with a scythe fuma 2 and 11700k, the computer would boot up and then 10 seconds later shut down due to cpu load of opening the startup programs.

I'm 99 percent sure I do not have the peel on since I recently upgraded my cpu but Linus got me trippin
I like my computers without the peel but thanks!
I actually had that happen on my first prebuilt computer and I used it for 2 years thinking 104C° was a normal gaming temperature and when i realized it wasn't ideal temperature i opened and my CPU was covered in molten plastic and it wasn't very easy to get off but I managed to get it out and bought new thermal paste and it went from 70C° not gaming to 40C° and from gaming temp of avarage 90-100C° to 60-75C°.
2 years at 104°C... Jesus fucking Christ that poor CPU.

@@Jenna_TaliaIt's pain and torment has made it stronger
When taking apart my old Pentium II 266 PC from high school, I discovered the OEM that built it hadn't peeled the plastic off the TIM on the CPU heatsink. Funny enough, the system ran just fine for years through lots of gaming and was just about as stable as anything else from that era, and more stable than the Athlon that replaced it. Go figure.
6:02 - What Linus said to his first successful date
to be fair older CPUs didn't even have very big heatsinks so didn't need much cooking at all lmao
Sounds like that old PC was Ork technology. You see, red and stickers make you go fastuh!

@@MASTER_CHIEFS71 He didn’t need to *peel* either 😳 he’s circumcised
As a computer repair tech, I've absolutely done this once before, on a very expensive build. Luckily, there was an inherent issue with the BIOS not being up to date for the CPU being used and I had to take off the cooler to use a different CPU and caught my error after barely attempting to POST all of twice, so no damage done.
I also once made this mistake when changing the CPU cooler of a PC from a friend. In that case is was to replace the stock Intel cooler to a decent one. Forgot to peel the plastic. Ran the system, and where disappointed with the temp improvement. Used it for a day and I started to doubt if I peeled the plastic from the cooler. Checked it, removed it and temps were as we anticipated. 15c lower or so.
question is how many times you did it WITHOUT noticing
@@sylvia5925 Zero, actually. I always run a thermal stress test after configuring any sort of cooling setup to confirm that everything is operating the way it should be. I check pre-test thermals to confirm they're in the expected range, and that's usually when I find the discrepancy. However, I wouldn't want to do it on the newest CPUs that run fairly warm as-is.
@@lilbitretro6377 oh nice, sorry for doubting you
Did this on my buddies build as well even though I built several PC's already. Don't change a cooler when tired lol.
In my defense, they were all budget builds so I used the stock cooler that didn't have the sticker
When I was working for CybertronPC. This has happened quite a times with the plastic on the CPU cooler. When it got to the testers they would pay EXTREME attention to the temps because of that. We had maybe 50 computers starting out with the enermax coolers
I can’t believe you put this on me. I just put my 5800X into my C6H and I know for a fact there isn’t any plastic on my 5yo cooler but I’m going to check because I need to see it with my own eyes again.

But don't worry, Dell sold you the warranty, even if you didn't want it.
@@TanmaySankolli hello!
i built my first pc yesterday and it started first go without any problems was rather proud and i do say thats cause i watched you guys for a few weeks befor building it...
so goofy cuz in Physics Class rn in school in learning all about circuits and resistance, current, voltage, and wattage but I understood completely what Linus was talking about felt great
When I worked at an electronics recycler, I ran into this exact thing with a recycled Dell desktop. The person said it never ran like it was suppose to (long before thermal throttling existed). When I pulled the cooler out of curiosity, there was the sticker. I laughed so hard
long before thermal throttling? So like, early 2000's? Late 90's? Intel has had thermal throttling since the P3 era, and AMD enabled it not too long after due to their cpu's literally burning up.
Was there a 10% off warranty discount coupon on the sticker?
@@kasuraga My guessed estimate may have been wrong because I really associated boosting and throttling starting with the core i series. It was either a P3, P4, or PD. In the state we got it would thermally shut off within 10 seconds of entering the bios. It had a very tall air cooler with plastic ducting directing air through the back of the case, it was quite a system for its time. And boy Dell had some awful capacitors, we could only "recondition" about half of the Dells that came through
I once forgot to peel the thing off of my AIO. When idling, temps were actually normal but even a bit of load made them shoot up to 100 degrees and the CPU throttled massively.
While water cooling should result in the opposite if used without the sticker. Temps rise slowly and fall slowly.
@@HappyBeezerStudios I haven't noticed such behavior in normal use cases. The temps rise immediately when load starts and drop immediately when it ends. With very long 100% load the temps might rise by a few degrees over 10 minutes but nothing out of the ordinary, that happens on air coolers too.
@@HappyBeezerStudios
When cooling capacity is reduced, the chip will swing in temperatures faster
It's a simple law of physics, if you can't easily transfer energy, it builds up
I did the same on a 32 core threadripper. 30c instant gain when I started a game. Spent 2 hours draining and refilling my loop. Fist and only time I've done it. Been building pc's since I was 10 and never made that mistake. There's a first for everything
@@nando03012009 how often do you change out the water in your loop?
I had an iBuyPower pre-built come into my shop last year that still had the plastic on it. I was the first technician to work on it since it was bought.

Open task manager: "We have a meltdown"

Real talk: I did this once. It was a watercooled setup, so it still ran fine, but my temps were WAY worse than they should have been.
I forget how I found out. Maybe I just tried to replace the thermal compound or something. Anyway, found it, fixed it, temps were WAY better.
same situation happened to me.
@@DemeDemetre I remember it being pretty obvious the plastic was there when I took the cooling block off, but it wasn't anything I had to scrape off, if that's what you mean.
I think my CPU temps pre-fix were around 95 C. If you think about it, boiling water (100 C) won't necessarily melt plastic right away.
@@walterkruse348 plastic is pretty good at heat dissapation at lower temps as well. So even if your CPU was at 100°C that doesn't mean the plastic was at 100°C. Your heatsink was still doing its job, but WAY less efficient.
i actually did the same thing, left plastic on the cooler, and i never realised until i swapped cases and thought why not reapply thermal paste, i never noticed because temps were actually fine so it was like that for a good year or so. the plastic was also in the same condition it was before it had been used (it didnt melt)
@@DemeDemetre Any manufacturer should be using thermoset plastic in such an application. Once shaped, thermoset plastic will never melt again. It will just burn if the temperature gets high enough, which is basically impossible in this kind of scenario.

absorbing thermal paste and cpu g
I'm old enough to remember when CPUs DIDN'T have thermal throttling technology. They would actually fry themselves in this scenario (given enough performance load on the chip)
Athlon XP remembers....
Any electronics/electrical person knows that excess heat kills semiconductor devices fast.
Even when a CPU processor is idle it is still executing instructions. On x86 even with instructions such as HLT to reduce power in idle loops are broken when an interrupt is triggered. The heat needs to get out of the junction whether there is thermal protection or not.
I’m old enough to have done it…. Third running at over a GHz on a water cooling setup (very basic block, and I was actually using a large crate as a reservoir and gently evaporative cooler)
So like what, 20 years old?
Linus is probably old enough as well
I just did this the last week and it’s the 3rd build I’ve done this year… no problems on the other ones.. luckily my fans told me and wouldn’t let me forget about it for long.
I remember making this mistake when installing an AIO on a FX 8350,(because that stock cooler was ridiculous). I could tell right away something was off as everything pretty much ran like crap once. Once I checked and removed the plastic and put on new thermal paste it was fine.
Back when Socket A first came out, the AMD retail fans had a piece of plastic over the thermal pad. I was working at a local store at the time, and it was VERY common for customers to not remove the plastic despite a written notice we included with every CPU sold.
Not removing the plastic was almost guaranteed to kill the CPU.
hmmm , back when i got a thunderbird 850 , it had NO stock heatsink/fan with it at all. so not sure what you are talking about , had to buy the heat sink separate from the cpu. granted that the heat sink /fan i did buy for it had a peice of plastic over it. just never heard of any slot processors that came with a stock heat sink.
@@DenverStarkey Retail boxed CPUs back then came with fans just like current ones.
@@Da40kOrks not all of them apparently because I had two that didn't.
@@DenverStarkey Might depend on the store? Maybe some store preferred the kit without heatsink to cut cost.
I was WAITING for the redemption moment when Linus would satisfyingly peel off the plastic and then nail all the benchmarks without it thermal throttling.
I'm left extremely blue balled.
I dont think an evo 212 would nail the benchmarks with a 9900k!

It happened to me many years ago, when I got a store to mount a gaming PC for me. It worked fine, but temps were too high. I removed the CPU cooler to reapply thermal paste and check it was properly mounted, and discovered they hadnt removed that plastic. Temps were normal after that. I told them and they didnt know what to say, they apologised at least. Have assembled all my PCs myself since then.
Should have given you a discount of something you could buy.
in my case i literally pulled a paper sticker to my cpu fvk prebuilt 2nd hands
I've had experience like that many, MANY years ago - with a bunch of like 10 prebuilts from a local boutique with a Celerons 366 (socket 370 version, not slot1). When they started to hang/bluescreen/fail one after another during a hot summer investigation was in order, and there they were - beautiful price/warranty paper stickers "provided" courtesy of said boutique, on top of a IHS of each of those CPUs. Removed them and magically everything was in order again...
I don't build PCs for a living. I built the one I use, I've upgraded it over the years, and that's it. By the thumbnail I thought this video was implying that there is plastic on the CPU itself that needs to be peeled! I about lost my mind and almost started to disassemble my rig.

2:45 Tivolt to o Tobie, nadal pamiętamy
Once at work we actually had the situation where a prebuilt Dell system had the plastic sticker between the CPU and the heatsink.
We didn't think it would be possible that such thing happens with prebuilts, but after insanely loud fan noises and CPU temps of ~100c we couldn't resist to look.
My toshiba laptop was like that for some reason. It's a good thing I was replacing the paste anyways.
My friend replaced some thermal pads on his 3080... one of those still had the peel still on it. On a forum he found someone who also replaced his pads, all of them had the peel still on.
So this may be more common a mistake than it should be.
22c cooler afterwards.
Can confirm with the pads from 3080 xD
What manufacturer? I guess some are more frugal than the others.
always thought linus was just techy but he pulls out actual mathematics with solid charts and reason & mathematical based evidence with rates of changes and subscripts. what a guy
I almost did this myself glad I caught it ad glad I'm not the only one 😅
I'd be interested to see the difference between a fully scratched up base of a cooler vs a polished base, both with adequate paste.
Will there be a noticeable temp difference?
wouldn't a pattern of ridges with an equivalent pattern on the cooler be better than two flat planes, both for the greatly increased surface area and better lockup between parts?
@@MarkoDash thermal paste isnt really a great thermal conductor, all it does is fill in the small gaps left over between the two layers of metal. With machined surfaces, you have thousands of microscopic grooves able to make metal to metal contact, while with a scratched up surface, you reduce the ammount of those smaller grooves.
@@Timeward76 i meant an interlocking pattern like a picatinny rail but on a much smaller/denser scale
@@MarkoDash that would be very expensive to manufacture compared to just flat surfaces, and while it would likely work better its not worth the cost outside of custom, tailor made applications.
@@MarkoDash @timeward is mostly right. The other MAJOR benefit of thermal grease is that it pumps out the air and prevents bubbles. A system like the one you are describing would make that considerably more difficult to ensure. Secondly, when you have a system like the one you describes, you have increased your surface area, but decrease the cross sectional area for the heat flux. What I mean is, all of the small ridges (fins, really) have heat coming from both sides, and will struggle to transfer that to the base efficiently. Basically your heat flux is no longer constant across the body, but has peaks of higher and lower flux. So you might get a small performance boost, but it would not be equivalent to the increased surface area. Source: I'm a thermal engineer for electronics.
Probably the one thing I check the most when building a PC is the Cooler, haven't made the mistake yet. Hope i'll never will.

Built my parents a PC back in a day, it had a C2D E8400 in it. The machine was working for years, but at some point it wasn't enough to even browse the web or use Zoom, so I replaced it with "this new raisin thing". While removing the old parts I found that the cooler wasn't cooling anything: two pegs on the top were broken, so the CPU was "air cooled". Not sure for how long, surprisingly it is still in working condition. Some time before same thing happened to the Duron Morgan, and it actually released the magic smoke in a fraction of a second…

Seeing this video draws me back to when I discovered that my father,a guy who has been doing modding for nearly 10 years,had the peel in the cooler of his personal computer
just couldn't believe it
Would be interesting to have a video to show how much surface imperfections increase the CPU temp by intentionally damage the CPU cooler
surface imperfections are the whole reason we use thermal paste to begin with.
4:26 oh hi
*proceeds to headshot*
Ong he rocked that guys shit
“This little core i9” cracked me up lol 😂
Thanks for making video about this topic, cos I once built PC (for my friend actually) and everything went perfect expect I forgot to peel that plastic, and it installed Windows fine and first thing I downloaded was thermal programs and saw really high temp so I assumed, that I forgot to peel it and fixed it soon as possible, but I wanted to know if there was any type of harm using plastic as thermal paste for short time and clearly no harm since it was only for really short time and low loads.
"if you're a heavy user" - I feel personally attacked.
Do you frequently consume sandwiches with an olive on top?
Would you describe yourself as a “fat, bald, fatty fat fat”?
Do you name a lethal weapon that you always use?
Always find this stuff super interesting, never have the opportunity to test things like this for myself so it's nice to see it tested from people I trust! Thanks Linus + whoever wrote this one
I did this on my first PC build the other day. Luckily, we caught it before we even fully set up Windows.
I definitely missed the step once. Left it on to do a dry fit, addressed clearance issues, realized I knocked my finger at some point, and by the time I came back (no longer bleeding red juice) and forgot to take it off. It ran for 3 years like that. No issues.
Great video guys. It's there little "back to basics" what if type videos that make people less afraid to have a go and build their own system. Nicely done.
Hows it great when they did no baseline without plastic to compare and thus never answered the question in the title..?
I like how Linus thinks Dell would use a good CPU cooler like that.
Guess he missed Steve's Dell review 😂
ikr, my company went and bought microcenter prebuilts and I was shocked they had actual cpu coolers because dell's prebuilts have some shitty fanlessbchunk of aluminum like its a pentium 3
I bought my first computer from someone that had build it self and he forgot to peel the plastic of. It was a i7 3930K that really easy could handel it, because these cpu's are beast. But when i tried to overclock it, it ran way too hot so i stopped overclocking and ask for help. Some guy's said that maybe the cooler was not mounted correctly and that is where i found out that the cooler had still that plastic on! My cpu didn't died and it still runs nice and cool!
Linus: coolers have protectors because the slightest scratch can reduce efficiency
Also Linus: proceeds to start whacking a metal rod on the coolers' surface
Yo LTT team, when's the LTT screwdriver coming?
yeah would be nice
hmm LTT vodka...
I want an LTT Bluetooth Hose
Why they making ridiculous percent mark up on their $3-5 bottles already lmao
Linus: enjoys peeling everything with a plastic film.
Also Linus: forget to peel the cooler.
Linus: It no worky
Twomad: It brokey
DUDE! I took over a computer store and found one of the demo I5 8400 CPU that had a heat sink mounted completely wrong and there was NO contact to the CPU. Mind you, the computer only ran youtube videos, it still ran for 3 years and now runs cool as a tech computer.
This is the kind of thing that will make me open my eyes at night.
I think this is one of those things where experience makes you more prone to errors since you've done it the right way you become carelessly whereas a novice would be more careful
complacency
You won't experience any major impacts until quite a long period of use, I had a custom loop hammy downed from an old housemate who upgraded when 10 series dropped due to performance issues and frequent crashes. Dismantling and re sitting everything into my case we found he did this exact thing. This was after 5 years of use. The film had melted to the CPU and thus was causing the crashes, we ended up wet glass sanding the surface area is still operating today with the occasional blue screen
The segues are getting smoother every day...
Thanks, Linus I am the type of guy who checks likes 3 times if the car is actually locked.
I just love that command prompt showing up every now and then.
When he pulled that big plastic shield of the nzxt aio I was so relieved. Just put one in a few months ago… phew
I actually did this with my 5600G/AIO a few months back....and as soon as I started Cinebench (testing) temps went stupid high. That's when I remembered the plastic. Good old Cinebench.
