Heat Sink CPU Paste

[SparksN8]

Let me summarise this quick

A friend unknowingly claned off all the paste in between the cpu and the heat sink (attached to his cpu), there is no good conduction and almost no heat being removed meaning no cooling

Would this be a good product to purchase in aid for him?

Thermal Grease > Maplin

Well that stuff would be better than nothing....LoL

Try finding some arctic silver if you can,It will work alot better.

Yes it will work, but are you buying or is this stuff you already have?

 

[SparksN8]

Pick up some TX-2 or MX-2 if they have it.

mx2, as its non conductive and doesnt need to be cured.
