    How to apply thermal compound/paste

    Hello there, Welcome to this tutorial of how to apply thermal paste to your computer. In this tutorial we will go on why you should put new paste onto a pre built computer and how to do it. Ok, so let's say you Buy a gateway for example.You open it up. Cut your findgers on some parts and you take off the stock heatskin. If your like me. You have close to none thermal compound left on the cpu/heatskin. Well first thing you gotta do is you have to remove the old thermal compount left from The old stuff.Go to your local walmart,pick up a bottle of Isopropanol. I get 99%. For a 500ml bottle it costs like $3. Once you get that You got to have new paste to apply. Here are brands of paste I recomend. Artic Silver MX-3 http://ncix.com/prod...x.php?sku=42378 15$ IC 24 carat diamond http://www.heatsinkf...l-compound.html 20$ Artic silver 5 http://www.newegg.co...0-007-_-Product 10$. I recomend to Not ask at your local futureshop becuase all they have is dynex.Now that you are ready, Open up your computer.Take off the heatsink that is covering your cpu.Now Dip some Q-tips in the Isopropanol and whipe away the grease/reasidue.Taking your paste tube. apply a Pea size dot in the centre of the cpu. With somee Thermal compound pacages you get a spreader. Don't use it, Put the Heatsink on and it will spread the compound out evenly.Now most THermal paste's have a cure time. Mostly for artic silver it's 100 hours.After the cure time it is at "peak" performace.Once you attatch the Heat skin again and close the case your done! you jsut applied thermal paste to your cpu.If you want to You can apply paste to your Northbridge,SOuthbridge and video card. Becarful on the north/south bridge, some times extream measures are needed. I know some one who had to soak it in isopropanol over night then put the heatskin in the oven for 30 minuits!Dont be expecting 10c lower tho in your tempatures if you apply new paste. i say expect 4-5c.Well hope you have fun and dont break your computer :p. Bye.

    BTW first tut so dont be harsh :p and i'll add pics later i'll also add sentinces.busy right now
