we should give him a project wiv athlon 1400 Tbird and see what happens wen he puts no TIM inbetween the cpu and heatsink he most definetly will get a nasty surprise and will think twice about not putting TIM inbetween the cpu and heatsink in the future

Have seen the results of a T Bird with no TIM, dead, not instantly but it did'nt last a day.

Hehe, probably

or maybe my life doesnt revolve around a internet forum

. I know i should really get some Artic Silver on im not disuputing that. but the FACT is it can run without it and keep in Safe Temps until i go and buy some.

And it turns out the Fan was just not seated well. I will continue to run it without paste until i go into town and buy some.

Damn, slap some paste on it! Doesnt have to be artic anything will do, even the plain Jane white stuff!.. but something!

All modern day CPUs will appreciate it even if they can just about cope with none. Be nice to your CPU

... CPU failure is mostly due to overheating.

did you even readthe post? :rolleyes:

the Heatsink was not mounted correctly. Once i took it off and put it back on .

it is now running at 55'c idle which is a pretty safe tempeture while surfing on the net.

EDIT - Im now back off to GD where the average age is above 13

Well 55c idle is'nt that safe and think how hot it'll get under load.

Maybe try some toothpaste or Marmite if you can't get any of the real stuff

lol those temps are crazy

Whats with all the guys yelling to use thermal paste ? Yeah its needed to an extent , but running without it isnt going to change temps from 35 to 90c you should have realised that lack of thermal paste couldnt do that if your all as good as you make out.

on the contrary it can mate, not to be rude - but yes, yes it can, infact my cpu and cooler for example wont stay on for more than 5seconds without thermal paste, just depends on the the quility of the base of the HSF and the Cpu IHS

Not if they are in good condition. IF they are battered and pitted yeah maybe.
