I just took off my stock AMD heatsink and need to know how I can replace the Thermal Interface Material on the heatsink. What kind is it and how can I get it to spread like how it was when I first installed it?
I think he means thin. Don't mis-read it as thick, I almost did. You always want just enough thermal compound on to spread across the surface, and this usually means half a grain if rice, not much more.howard_hopkinso said:Then, apply a think layer of new thermal paste to the cpu die and reattach the heatsink.
