    Hi all members,
    just reading a previous post on incorrectly attached heatsinks.

    i am about to build my first system; asus p4s8x-x/intel p4 2.4ghz.
    i noted that the adhesive strip is raised a little on the heatsink.
    it sounds as if this may cause a problem.
    can somebody explain in great detail the correct procedure for removing the tape and applying thermal paste.
    i hear less is better. should you blob it on in patches or use a thin line.

    thx a lot.

    ps any other tips appreciated,

    For applying the thermal paste go here Thermal compound installation. If you are using a noname thermal paste I recommend you pick up a tube of arctic silver because it can shave several more degrees off your cpu temp compared to any other thermal paste.

    Instructions for removal of the thermal pad are step 2 on that page.:grinthumb
