CPU Paste

Thanks for your replies,

How is the best way to apply the thermal paste on the CPU? I will be using it with an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3 GHz


Thanks
 
Thanks for your further replies, I have gone with the MX-4 paste. I will also try applying a dot on the CPU and see how that works. I normally spread the paste over the CPU but I wanted know which is the best way to apply it as I know people do it certain ways.
 
Hi,

Thanks for your reply


Ok, I have just bought the GA-890FXA-UD5 motherboard and I am trying to install the Corsair H50 the case fan at the back of the radiator has a 4 pin connection I can only see one 4 pin connection on the board and this is the other side of the board so the wire wont reach. Can this be plugged into a 3 pin connection before anyone asks this is not the CPU fan.



Please advise,

Many thanks
 
thanks for your reply.

The fan I am mentioning is the Corsair case fan which has 4pins on it will this plug into a 3 pin connector on the motherboard there is the nearest one to the fan is called NB Fan should it work okay in that socket?
 
Hi

Thanks again for your reply

Sorry if I was not clear before the there is a CPU fan connector on the board which is a 4 pin connector so that is okay. Can I plug the pump fan into the NB Fan 3 pin header on the board?
 
Hi

What I have done is plugged the connector that is from the CPU cooler into the 4 pin CPU connector on the board then the intake fan at the back of ylthe cooler into the nb fan header.

the CPU temp is about 26c running in bios
 
Hi,

I have now turned off smart fan control in the BIOS so that the fans are always running at the highest speeds. Below is a picture sowing what they are running at they do seem to change a bit but are a lot higher than before when smart fan control was enabled.
