Hey guys!
my new components are coming tomorrow, and i was reading up on how to apply the thermal paste to the CPU.
Ive ordered 3.5g of AS5, and when i was looking at the AS5 instructions online, it says that i gotta...like...rotate the cpu so that when i apply the paste so it goes across all the cores?
heres the link: Arctic Silver Incorporated - Arctic Silver 5 Instructions
at the bottom of the page it gives a note about the i7s, so am i right in thinking that i just rotate the chip(or motherboard because i dont wanna take it out) 90 degrees clockwise, so the triangle is top left?
then would i apply the paste like vertically, as in from the top to the bottom (in its current orientation) or horizontally?
if all goes well i should finally have my computer up and running
Thanks guys!
