Ok,
I've read and studied massive amounts of forums, posts, pics, and diagrams in regards to the how to's and the how much of applying CPU thermal compounds.
I feel one of the best sites was the one that recommended using a latex glove and spreading a thin amount of Thermal Compound on the Heat Sink rather than the the CPU. So that is exactly what I did. And I used about half a grain of rice amount, but it still looks way toooooooo much!
Well, my new system build was very unstable. It was very disappointing. But we think we narrowed it down to the MOBO and I am in the process of RMA'ing it.
When I took apart the H50 cooler and the i-5 processor, it looks to me as if I put way too much Arctic Silver 5 on it.
I thought I would come here for suggestions and advice.
I posted pics of what I found when I took the H50 heat sink off the intel i-5 750 processor.
Ok, what are your opinions, suggestions, scalding rebukes, criticisms, advice, encouragements, etc.?
Oh, BTW, my temps were no lower than using a mid range air cooler with massive heatsink...
It's me, Soar
