heres some picures of what my paste looks like

does the paste look ok?..

shall i go and buy some and apply more?
my temp is 80. does paste bring it down to normal temperatures? or could it be something else?

ok so shall i clean the heatsink of its old paste and go buy some more and apply that. is there a special way to clean it?

when i was in town earlier i tried to buy some but they were out of stock :mad:

ok i'll try that or white spirit

how certain are people that its the thermal paste that is the fault of the high temp?

my_computer · 10 Jan 2008 at 00:32
