peshewah Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 This is the first computer I ever put together and I"m thankful for sites like OCZ.I put in my P2.4in it"s socket, then the heatsink and fan but I never used a thermal gel.I"m not a O.C."er (yet) and not a big gamer. Should I have used a thermal compound? You might ask yourself what I"m doing on this site? You guys (and girls) are really sharp. Your topics and there replies are interesting and helpful. I"ll have a lot more questiones before I am done. I appreciate your time. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Yes, a thin layer of Thermal Compound should have been used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Is there any reson I can"t take out the heatsink and apply it now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blippy Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 nope, go to it, that's better than not putting any on at all......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 But too much will be even worse then none. Just use enough to cover the chip in a thin layer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
