2 week for yanwen to U.K.
wow
if you get anything from them in 4 months here in the states if at all you are lucky
yan when? more like yan never
 
I literally bought solder from china the other day and it arrived within a week
you're lucky i order from gearbest and aliexpress all the time and Yanwen is always the worst of them all , no tracking and it takes forever and sometimes i don't get my package at all , i find chinapost and other shippers all come faster than Yanwen
a week is super fast for anything from China though average here is like 4 to 6 weeks

You're REALLY lucky. I ordered some soldering stuff in the first week of May and one of the packages is still stuck at Singapore. With most passenger planes grounded their cargo bays are no longer available for shipping, so the world's capacity to move goods around has suddenly dropped, while both the cost and time spent in shipping have skyrocketed.
 
Yeah, Kryonaut is definitely safe for this kind of use. Actually it's one of the best choices for this. Great performance, easy to apply and reliable on the long run.

I have to look for an "icecream spoon" to use it as spatula to extend the paste over the die hehe

Just use a bank card or id
Kryonaut should come with a spreader tip for the syringe. If not, do what Squee said. A piece of thick paper, like old and old paying card also works. You could also just apply the paste like a grain of rice on the middle of the die and let the pressure from the heatsink screws do the spreading. Either is fine as long as the whole die is covered. If you spread manually, take care not to create air bubbles.

anyone ordered directly from Ali using these cryptic "Payment" options ? Is it regular product with SX OS licence ?
I did. I haven’t received it yet though. They dont post pictures because Aliexpress remove them. It was like this when rcm loader was kinda new. The last time I ordered an SX PRO from a seller with just “payment” as a picture, it turns out that it’s a legit product.

Just incase it’s a fraud, I can easily ask for a refund

Well this is not a computer so, in this case I think is better to spread

BTW: are you removing the copper paper or not?
 
call me weird.. but I don't trust in shops with this images of the product:

Refunds are easy to get from aliexpress so as for me, it doesn’t matter much. And as i said earlier, aliexpress removes most modchips and hacking tool. Most of the sellers i bought from the past even told me not to post the item pictures on the comment section once i received it(and i did receive it, and it’s the same PAYMENT pics). But to each his own.

Probably not. I'd rather keep the console as close to its original state as possible. Also removing the copper layer could actually worsen thermal performance if the cooler's mounting pressure is not enough, and I don't intend to test that.

It for sure is a computer.

Only reason it would be better to spread in this case is because it doesnt have a plate to screw down to get alot of pressure for it to spread out properly.
 
I know no one could answer for sure, but how safe is it really to buy from aliexpress? This would actually be a good option for me, but on xecuter's site it says not to buy from aliexpress, only from the list of trusted resellers they have on the site. Why would they say that? What is a chance of a scam here? I kinda wonder why doesn't team xecuter have some trusted store on aliexpress to sell stuff there, since it would be a convenient place to buy for a lot of pepole.

Also, something else i wanted to ask for a long time. They said they're making fixes now to the chip based on a feedback from testers. Now, these fixes arent't hardware ones, are they? I mean, the chip itself is gonna stay the way it is, the updates are gonna be strictly software? Because who knows, maybe the earlier version of the chip has a bigger chance to damage your console or smth like that.
