Satx Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello I am using Corshar H100 with i7 3930k@4.5Ghz for 7 months. At the beginning H100 can keep IDLE temp. around 32 Degree. And Load temp. around 62 Degree ( 4.5Ghz ) Last week i noticed that CPU's IDLE temp. around 44 degree And Load temp. around 73 degree I check the thermal compound and nothing left.. I bought Arctic Cooling MX-4 thermal compound. I try to apply that compound 2 times. But it is reduce only 1 degree at first time and 3 degree at second.. So please help me , how do i have to apply that thermal compound correctly? Picture or Videos would be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yock Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Here are a couple of videos for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1e-34G3foo Just use that amount of paste and put your CPU cooler directly on. This one gives a little more info. Also remember to dust off your radiator and/or fans as that seems to be your problem in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
