Short video on about the right amount of thermal paste to apply to CPU. Check the Artic Silver website for your exact CPU application. This is a E2180 Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual-Core as they are branded.

  • Poor quality. Don't make excuses, delete and redo. If you do not have the right equipment then why are you trying to do crappy video.

  • @arnie1242 This video is 2 years old check my channel and computertechtv for newer better quality video on this.

  • I really need to remake this video and show all the ways b/c it really doesn't matter as long as its not too much or too little your fine. I made this almost 2 years ago give me a break I have learned a lot and not just put a small drop in center and good to go.

  • if you read the instructions on the Artic website, they tell you to apply it in the other direction (90 degrees different from what you did)...

  • Its thermal paste get over it I did this lonfg ago and do it totally diff way now a bad ass cooler helps a bunch with good temps more then some TIM.

  • I understand it's old, but it's not like focus adjustment wasn't available back then.

  • Wrong. You have to put vertical, not horizontal line. Other than that, line method is the right one. Also, line has to be 1/5" from the sides on both ends, in other words a little longer.

  • What a loser

    He is getting 2 drups thermal on it and filming it 30 seconds.

    Get a life

  • That was fucking awesome.

  • what;s with the 0.0000001 MP camera

  • @RickArter so if it's old and misleading why are you still keeping the video? delete it

  • hey bro if thsts a quad then u did it wrong read as5 site it says for quad is vertical not horizontal

  • @Taizara write stupid questions like this into google

  • yea dude line is the best way, the cores dont reach out to the edge of the metal, so when you get a nice amount of silver in line format, the weight of the heat sink will spread it out til its covering the cores... pick up your heatsink after mounting it and find out for yourself. the only other thing ive seen and i believe arctic says to do so to is if you can twist heatsink back and forth a little bit.

  • Fry's.
