Thank you, and many others, for being there for me and guiding me to the path of an answer. I hope everyone will sincerely read my post and discover "tinting" I emphasize more is truly less when it comes to thermal paste. Proper cleaning gets down into the microscopic places where success begins. I also learned that coffee filters are excellent cleaners (goodbye toilet paper and paper towels) A fingerprint is .005 inch thick I'm told. Yuge, microscopically speaking. At 67 years old, I find you can teach an old "dogface" new tricks. Just go to http://arcticsilver.com/ and look at the PDF instruction sheets, good stuff. Simple with pictures so I could understand. |

 Everyone, I formally declare victory!Who was the famed philosopher who said "when all else fails, read the instructions"? I did a lot of web looking and bought some arctic 5 thermal paste. Yes, less is more! I went to the arctic 5 website and found excellent directions and learned about "tinting". By following their instructions I have a dramatic CPU temp drop and I mean dramatic! I would urge all of you to learn about how tom properly clean your CPU and Heat-sink and to learn how to tint. A small amount of thermal paste is most efficient. Good thermal paste costs more but if you apply it properly you will get many uses. With Arctic 5 there is claimed a break-in process that promises even lower temps. Before when I installed WCG/BOINC my computer CPU temp would start climbing to 65C and shut everything down. I am now running at mid to upper 20s C and it is stable. I am back with you, generating points and adding my computing to yours to make a difference. We will never really know fully how are unused computer time added together can touch individual lives in such a meaningful way. Dave Root, Radcliff Kentucky USA thx for the share!  |
