CPU installation(part 2)

[joelkyr]

Hi, I just got my CPU yesterday, Its a P4 3.4ghzHT, I posted a question 2 days ago bout thermal compound application, I check the bottom part of the heatsink and it has a square colored gray thing on the bottom, is this a thermal compound? shoul this be enough for my CPU?

Shouldn't there already be a pad on the heatsink and fan that comes with the proccy?

That was I was saying, but Im not sure coz Its my first time to see one of this retailed CPU, so I guess I wouldnt be needing a thermal compound if thats the case.

You should be able to use that although if you want to get thermalgrease make sure you scrub that HSF clean
