Fresh compound makes sure the connection between the core and heat sink is solid and works to the best of it's ability. If you simply reuse the old, not only are you losing the part that's sticking to the old heatsink, but you'll then have missing spots and air bubbles which can overheat the core very quickly and you don't want to be buying a new core for not spending $10 now on compound!!

Is there any other tool I need to remove the old heatsink/fan and install the new pair? I haven't tried it before.

Replacing a heatsink isn't hard, but does have certain steps that must be followed.

They don't sell cpu fans alone, and it seems that I need to replace the heatsink with the fan together. Is it tricky to install a heatsink? Any help will be appreciated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Looking-for-a-new-fan-for-my-cpu-15106037 Mon, 26 Dec 2005 18:04:32 EDT
