ReelFiles Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Sounds like you might have applied too much thermal paste. You only need a small amount, about the size of half a rice grain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolt Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 it takes as5 50 to 200 hours to set. you should see a drop in 40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 If it's increased his temps, there will not be a drop after curing. Take the hsf off, wipe off the AS5 (HSF and CPU should be clean) and start over. Apply just a tiny bit (ever used a BB gun? The size of 1 pellet) and drop the HSF squarely on top. Apply a little pressure at the center, twist a bit to smooth it and then attach the retention clips.

SeanDude05 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 I applied to much AS5 to my Opteron 148, and was wondering why it idled so high until I decided to reapply. Turns out I did apply too much so I'm willing to bet you just have too much AS5 on there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
