Evan Pols Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm in the middle of my new build and was getting ready to install the cooler. I noticed a fairly large size discrepancy between the amount of pre-applied thermal paste and the CPU size. Will the paste heat up and spread out, or do I need to clean it off and use my own? Unfortunately, I don't have any additional with me right now... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Pols Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Rolled the dice on my $600 processor and figured this one out for myself. It appears to work with the amount of pre-applied paste, my CPU hasn't exploded yet and I'm running at around 25-28 C idle. Thanks for the input everyone!
