hey yall,

I just recieved my new CPu and supposably the Intel pent 4 2.4Bghz i got as a flim strip of Thermal glue on it already...do u think it would hurt the cpu to put a drop of some from a tube i have just to confirm my belief. ......you dont think the 2 types of glue would clash or anything.

Thanks for the help

what i did is take that inferior stuff off, and grabed some artic silver. the quality stuff!! and put a layer of that on there. i think it's like 6.00$ a tube on newegg.com it's worth it considering you just spent 200$ on a new chip. but what you are doing is fine.

Less = better

 

Use isopropal alcohol to remove the cheap stuff.

 

Use a Q-tip to apply the good stuff, less messy (make sure you don't get any fuzzies), to a CLEAN surface. No fingerprints.

 

I've tried shims and not had any noticably improved results.
