Took off Heatsink and no thermal compound left any reason this would happen ?
Took off Heatsink and no thermal compound left any reason this would happen ? Nothing on the CPu nothing on the heatsink ? The reason i did this becuase the CPu was running WAY to hot, it was running like 20c Ambient and 55 to 60 on idle and light load ? I have two thermal compounds one i got with the heatsink which iam using got it with my Vantec AeroFLow, someone said it was Artic Silver 3 i have NO idea if it is does not say that on the tube. Anyway everythings ok now CPu at 46c idle at the momment, if i laped the Heatsink prob 43c Any ideas on why no thermal compound left ?, it was about 3 or 4 months since i applied it. Thanks. PS, Xp2400, 1.65 voltage. |
