Re: how NOT to apply thermal compound!
i had a pair on a dual-cpu motherboard.
it was so thick that the heatsinks never touched the silicon!
and it's just standard silicon-grease - so it dried like cement!Comment

Re: how NOT to apply thermal compound!
My first ever PC build was a bit like that... AMD Duron 1.3GHz and I thought more paste was better.. wondered why the thing always ran hot...
At least I knew it only had to go on the die though!"Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: how NOT to apply thermal compound!
you can identify reptilians, they hang around radiators and you never see them in the winter!

Re: how NOT to apply thermal compound!
HP did this in my old laptop. The thermal pad doesn't touch anything.
I added some crappy paste between the "heatsink" and the metal block on the right that cools an inductor. They did the same thing that they did here. There was a thermal pad next to that block that was not touching anything.Attached FilesLast edited by lti; 05-05-2014, 07:52 PM.Comment

Re: how NOT to apply thermal compound!
I've seen something similar on a Pentium 4 chip (though not as memorable for sure). Of course, with the Pentium 4, you have a heat spreader so it doesn't look as bad. Nonetheless, it was, because there was a ton of leftover paste on the side of the CPU and the heatsink. The paste looked at least 1 mm thick. No wonder the CPU fan was all over the place (the motherboard was a P4SD out of a HP DC5000 - and they do actually have fan speed control).Originally posted by stj View Post
By the way, sorry for reviving a thread like this. I wanted to reply to this when it was still fresh but didn't have time due to exams and now I'm going through my bookmarks and finding a few others I haven't replied to.Comment
