How to put the Cpu Fan properly?

**Archangel** · 10-02-2006, 03:39 PM

well... i dont think anyone would do that.. if you put a thin layer of paste over the whole surface of the CPU, there cant be too few past on it

You could use a little of the Akasa cleaning stuff.

I have some and it works a treat

well i think i just burned my rig.I put the thermal on just a little speard it and put the fan on then put the screws in and just screw it so the fan is tight.And i plug in the fan power to the motherboard.Trun on the pc and after 3 second it shuts down with this little zzz noise.And now it doesint want to turn on at all but my motherboard light is green so i am getting power.All my fans at the beging turn on.But when i took of the fan the first time to reapply my thermal on thecpu and the fan there was no thermal just a little sticky thing on one side of the cpu and the copper of my fan was a little rusted and little spots were off.I dont know what to do now could i have fried my whole pc.But i did everything as told i put just a little of thermal and i even saw that is take like 10 seconds for the cpu to burn and my computer turned off after 3 .

PLease help me right now i am on my other pc.

Well, you haven't fried your whole PC if it actually turns on.... Make sure that you put suffienct enough paste on, your CPU seated properly, your heatsink installed properly and your heatsink plugged in if needed to be.... It maybe just an automatic safety shut off.....

With a shutoff in only a few seconds it's not due to a lack of thermal compound. If the cpu went a good number of boards would sound an audio alert if the board speaker was plugged in and if there is one. On many older type boards you would see a "cpu failure" message come up onscreen immediately at turning the power on.

With enough compound/paste you see a thin layer spread over the top of the cpu and bottom of the sink. If the cpu lost a pin or the board has a flaw like a failed chipset the green led only shows power is getting to the board not whether or not there's a hardware failure. Since you were moving around inside the case try rechecking all connections before assuming a failed cpu or board.

Once a board/cpu is cooled off for period of time the auto shutdown feature or overheat protection circuit won't interfere. If you try to power up right after a shutdown is seen you haven't let it cool down enough.

You don't have to worry there. That was more figurative. Now the problem will be to find out just what went. Did the cpu cook the board along with it? Did only the cpu go? Did only the board take a walk? The news isn't good.
