@Jerrychrist666 yes you will need to clean it and re apply thermal compound

@weedfan you need to clean it and re apply
thermal compound if you don’t then you’re CPU is fucked.

put now one

if i took off my cpu cooler to clean it do i need to apply some new thermal compound when i put it back together or will it be okay the way it is?
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:55 pm
@FRURMELLL i caught that too, lol…

That was very informative, tnx

Dude you have just changed the way i apply thermal compound XD
thanks (Y)

@gitssacrules
yes the spread method makes air bubbles while the pea method is vergood at preventing them
also the center of the processor is really the only part you need to cover since that’s where the core-cores are
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Very clear. Thanks

Yes, its a HUGE difference. If you spread you are ALWAYS going to have bubble formation, you will NEVER be able to get rid of the bubbles. Bubbles do NOT conduct heat, so it makes the thermal paste useless in an are that is bubble heavy. When you use the “pea” method, the CPU squeezes the paste, creating a vacuum and removing 100% of your bubble possibility.

Like i apply the grease with a card and spread it out across the hole CPU, but he says to do it with just a dab of past in the middle, do yous think it would make that much of a difference?

what cloth is that?

This is the best video on how to apply thermal compund. Thank you, very much!!
April 8th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
no, its stock, 3.4Ghz
April 11th, 2010 at 4:27 am
Do you have the 125w or 140w version of the 965?
April 11th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
have you o/ced?
April 12th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Why the hell am I getting 45c on idle and abbout 55 on load?
I have AMD Phenom II x4 965 I applied OCZ freeze as my thermal paste
April 13th, 2010 at 3:26 am
stock cooler does not have enough pressure to spread it all over it just makes a small round:D
if u have a custom cooler u will be fine especialy the vennimous X from thermallright

nice video. I have tried all the methods and the blob in the middle yielded the best temperature results for me.

buenisimo..!!! por eso se me apagaba la pc. gracias y saludos.
