hello,
I'm part way through moving my cpu into another motherboard and replacing the heatsink on it. I'm also replacing the cooler on my 6800gt with a zalman vf-900. i have a few quick questions which i would be most grateful if someone could answer:
1. i have the akasa thermal imaging remover fluid stuff. it says to use a cloth, any ideas what sort of cloth would be appropriate or does it not matter?
2. can i use that fluid on the gpu and graphics ram bits?
3. i have arctic silver 5 for the heatsink. is it ok to use this on the gpu as well?
4. when applying the as5, should i spread it around or just dump a blob and let it flatten out from the force of the heatsink?
thanks for any help. sorry these questions are pretty noob.
