Afternoon,
Ordered a new cpu/ram/board bundle from ocuk this week for a mate of mine. Came with Cpu installed in board..Am just about to build it but have a question. There is a fair bit of what appears to be thermal paste on the edges of the chip and a bit seems lodged between the chip and the chip plate. Why would there be paste on the cpu chip before the cooler has been installed?
