[kayhan66]

which cpu cooler is that?

[ComputerTVtech]

cooler master hyper 212

[Razear]

You're putting on too much thermal paste. A pea sized drop the size of a grain of rice would be ideal and sufficient.

[ComputerTVtech]

no way man haha there is no thermal paste on the fan you want more paste then the size of a grain of rice other wise the heat is not going to transfer good at all between the cpu and heat sink.

However i should have used something better to spread it with.

[mamman93]

Do I have to put the "termo" paste on the CPU?

[ComputerTVtech]

Its Thermal Paste, And Yes in order to get your cooler to sufficiently keep your CPU cool.

[ctcraam]

Wait...So you are NOT supposed to eat it? It goes great with peanut butter dude.

[AMDpro311]

Oils from your skin can affect thermal paste.

Lol this help me soo much. When i got all the stuff for my computer I was like "How am I suppose to put all this sheit toghter??"

[xxgtblzxx]

Sell the computer and buy a better camera

[TheOfficialDJReD]

Woah,that is the BIGGEST cooler i have EVER seen

@Razear And by the way, I wasn't being a dick earlier...just bustin' your chops. All in fun. Thanks for the tips btw.

[300Z31]

@Razear I see. Basically it's too much of a good thing in that, while it's good at dissipating heat, too much will just slow the transfer of said heat? Makes sense. I'll keep that in mind when I upgrade to a better CPU Cooler.

[Razear]

@300Z31 It actually is lol. I've had numerous occasions where I've booted up with too much thermal paste to see sky rocketing temperatures. Too much thermal paste has a detrimental affect on your proc similar to what would happen if you were to boot up without any at all.

[300Z31]

@Razear I beg to differ. Either you're eating some HUGE ass rice, or tiny tiny peas.

But anyway, I knew what you meant. Just bustin' your chops. It did seem like a lot...but is a little too much really a bad thing?

[Razear]

@300Z31 Well both would be approximately the same size...the point I was trying to make was that only a very small amount is actually required.

[300Z31]

@Razear lol @ "...a pea sized drop, the size of a grain of rice..." Which is it? Pea sized? Or grain-of-rice sized?
