Sly_C Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 it would make quite a difference yes because it helps teh heatsink come in better contact with the cpu thus cooling the cpu bettter. what are ur temps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Let's just say it's required, like gaskets for motors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overclocker16 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Well, it's not NEEDED if it has perfect contact, but it will lower temps with it then without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly_C Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 if ur happy with those temps then its all good but most people try to get the lowest temps possible, lower temps = longer lasting cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
