Increased FSB = Increased power consumption?

[ANNR]

OK. My thermal past finally arrived on Friday. Took them long enough.

Anyway. I applied the mod. The laptop will not boot up after that. I think i also need to put couple more wires to increase the core voltage. Didn't want to do that yet since i still need the laptop for school. Will, It didn't work.

The laptop works fine after i take off the mod. But i think i put to much thermal past on the cpu. It should be on right?

I wouldn't be adding wires unless you know precisely what you are trying there to avoid cooking things! That's when you are working in the dark as well as going outside of the manufacturer's design for power. Simply slapping an extra feed or two could be... !!! without schematics and working knowledge of circuitry. sorry!

Too much or not quite enough are not good. One performance test on AS5 pointed out applying the small amount in a slightly stirring motion in order to see the silver particles better mixed since you will some separation as it comes out of the applicator tip. With too much you have excess coming from the side edges as well as a heavy layer between the heat spreader and sink if your model cpu has that(like most now do).

Generally only a paper thin layer is seen between the cpu and hsf to allow better transfer into the hsf itself. The microscopic gaps are filled there. Make sure you wipe off the excees along the sides of the sink if it was only a little over. Otherwise you may have to do it all over again after cleaning everything off from the first try there.

There is some thermal past outside of the hsf. when i pushed it down hard. But i did wipe off the extra.

I took the wires off right away when the laptop didn't start. But it seems to work fine right now.

o ya. PC-eye did you see my post in the desktop section? 1000USD build is the title.

Please take look at it when you get a chance and let me know what you think.

thanks

You certainly want those removed to avoid making any "ut ooooos!" ! unless you have money to keep replacing hardwares often? aw crap! It does get a little expensive at times. There you would need a totally new laptop if you cook that one and hurt the board in the process. That happened when someone known here grabbed a bad cpu where the board was thought bad and cooked his board!

He did that before asking if it should even be tried. I would have advised against that right off since nothing had been determined on the first case someone else had asked me to look at. But you can't simply swap boards and cpus on portables so easy as seen in a desktop. Just make sure you have the hsf down evenly and latched inplace if you end up cleaning off the current mess? and reapplying a lighter coat.
