    Never spread thermal paste. You're meant to put a pea of it on the middle of the CPU. Spreading it causes gaps between the heatsink and CPU (tiny air bubbles) and this causes the conduction from the heatsink to the CPU to be lost making it harder for your cpu to stay cool. When pressure is applied to the CPU when installig the heatsink the thermal paste spreads out evenly so don't spread.

    i wasted 2000… now I can't build my computer because i cannot find out for the life of me how to open the thermal paste. 🙁

    Are all CPU fans built to the same size scale? My current 3 year old CPU fan is fucked and I need a new one so I need this information. I have an intel CPU & Motherboard. What should I look for in a new fan? Thanks in advance.

    My manual says to apply it to the cpu heatsink

    spreading the paste will cause air pockets. Just make an X with the paste and it should be good.

    Damn that was a lot of paste. Why not apply it directly on the CPU and make the heatsink spread it for you? That will prevent air pockets.

    Celcius is used in science and technology, F is only used in America for basic weather

  14. Fixableguy Avatar

    Well you can simply convert that but normally we use Celcius for computer temps

    @tominator923 It doesnt matter, I applyed to my heatsink and my temps are 30c and under,

    which cooler is it tell me plz!!!

  21. tominator923 Avatar

    You apply the thermal grease to the CPU and you don't spread it…

  22. Sjablaw Avatar

    first time building a pc???? looks like it xD

  23. Iustinian P. Avatar

    wrong!!!!!!!you apply thermal paste to CPU not to radiator you will mess things up

    Haha wow, this guys an amateur.

    @dapro696 It can go on the CPU or the bottom of the fan. Either way, its coming into contact with the CPU and the fan

    @lander77477 thnks!!!!!!!

  27. lander77477 Avatar

    @LNDS209615 Yes you can, you just have to take the cooler off, preferably after the computer has been on for awhile and you just turned it off so its nice and warm and it will come off easier, after that you just have to clean off all that paste, i use coffee filters because they are lint free and then you have to use 90% rubbing alcohol on those same coffee filters or cue-tips, and polish up the metal surfaces so they are ready to be used again like new

  28. lewnidas.v Avatar

    can you change the cpu after putting the coller???

  29. Robo Fish Avatar

    Am I the only one who cant get this fucking heatsink on here?

  30. dapro696 Avatar

    I thought the paste goes on top of the cpu?

  31. domeee11 Avatar

    @lanman000
    You only need to reapply if you're changing fans, and you should wipe off the old thermal paste before adding a new layer.

    1 You put WAY to much thermal compound
    2 You dont have to spread it
    3 You apply thermal compund to the cpu heat spreader not the heat sink
    DUMMY nice tutorial:)

    @Dakashizzlenizzle
    lol

  42. Kayemache Avatar

    Well, too much thermal paste is just as bad as not using enough. White thermal paste? That kind of thermal paste drys up pretty quick. AS5 or equivalent works the best on cpus

  43. jj2997 Avatar

    this is where i had to stop because he never told me how to open the thermal paste
    🙁

  44. Kha Zix Avatar

    why is the thermal paste such a bad thing to put a lot on?

  45. Ramin Ikhiilov Avatar

    can i plug a 4 pin CPU fan into a 3 pin motherboard?
