Give me the real, tangible, smellable stuff. I'd rather have coloured thermal paste tubes and an Intel chip than oils and pencils.
Oh... Cooler master's already done it. They have. Cooler Master, for reasons that are probably only known to the manufacturer has decided to use its multicoloured Cryofuze 5 Prism Thermal Paste to create a "happy landscape" on a chip that looks like an Intel 13th and 14th Gen.
The Cryofuze 5 is first slathered onto a palette and mixed. The unknown artist then goes to work. Once the artwork is finished, it is proudly displayed atop a Gigabyte Aorus Z790 Motherboard.
It's an impressive and seemingly pointless advertisement for Cryofuse 5 thermal tape in all its colour variants. This type of paste is one that comes in all its different colour variants packaged under the "Prism' moniker.
I didn't know that thermal paste was available in different colours until recently. I'm now wondering why it's even there. Why would you care about the colour of thermal paste? You can't see it once it does its job.
Cooler Master doesn't know either, as its product page only mentions the benefits of the thermal paste itself, not the different colours. Maybe landscape painting is all that's needed to justify the purchase.
Don't expect to get much benefit from painting your own landscapes. Hardware nerds recommend using the quick, easy pea-sized drop technique (a technical name) instead of the tedious landscape painting method.
Noctua's recommendations (PDF warning) suggest that even today, with Intel’s oddly rectangular chip, adding a few small dollops at the corners and larger dollops at the centre should improve performance and make it easier to set up.
You do you, Cooler Master. I don't think my day was made any worse by seeing your bizarre creation.
