hey i have a pentium 4 3hgz with stock heatsink and fan, and its running at around 70 degress pluss, way to hot , how thick thin should i apply heatsink compond, could it be hot cause i need to put more on ?
 
haha no "C"
yeah C 70C oh man way to high
i have heat sink compond here i will re apply it could you help on giving a quick run down on the best way ?
 
Get a new heatsink, don't re-use the stock one. The Thermalright XP-90 with some Arctic Silver 5 will drop your temperatures considerably.
 
oh lucky me, i put a fresh blob of heatsink stuff on. and now its in the 30 - 40 c yeah, but i need a new heatsink thanks for the help
 
wow it dropped that much??? mines running at 50 degrees C, at idle, ambient temp 42 degrees c. Maybe i should get some artic silver?
