Thermal Paste.

[Andy Cunningham]

Hey Guys.

Just bought the H50 to replace my stock cooler. I'm running the AMD PHENOM II X3 720.

I also bought the artic silver thermal paste... only £6... so i thought what the heck.

Then watched an installation video of the H50 and seems to already come with thermal compound already applied.

Should i remove the stock paste and replace it with the Artic silver paste or should i should keep it as a spare.

Is there any diffrence?

Thanks a lot.
Andy.

Whats recommended for removing it from the plate and CPU?

70% alcho cleaner with a static free cloth?

I think i'll just keep the factory paste on!

I'll just have to clean the CPU when i take my OLD cooler off.

Cheers Guys.
