Hello my brother MB is bro is bad just recieve the new mobo. Question can i mount the original intel cpu heatsink without the thermal paste?I don't have any thermal paste and it's the weekend can't wait.:)or is there anything i can use other than the thermal paste?
When you go to buy thermal paste look for Artic Silver. You can get Artic Silver from Newegg.com or from svc.com.
Or you can buy the generic "Silver" from TigerDirect.com.
The Silver compound, IMO, really makes a difference. Just use a very small amount and watch as your temps go down over the next two weeks. ------------------ {edit to condense}
ensenix: Being impatient with a computer is ALWAYS a mistake, be mature and get the right stuff BEFORE messing with it.
Furthermore: You need to go online to arctic silver's website and read up on how to apply thermal compound, as it sounds like you don't know how to do it correctly, seeing as you asked such a question. No, you DON'T just slap a bunch on, there is a very specific way to apply it! Make sure you use VERY VERY little, as instructed. Avoid the cheap crap, as that stuff has poor service life and WILL lead to the demise of an expensive CPU.
