[Motoxrdude]

Increase cooling ehh... I bet the guy who did it is someone from CF and is just sitting here going "Oh sh*t... now they think I'm a dumbass"

Can I get a pic of the mobo?

lol, pstt....billy! i think there on to us! hide!

wow, thats an interesting story. not to mention waste of thermal grease. lol. ebuyers these days....

 

[gamerman4]

Too bad no pics..... Would have been a great sight to see.

 

[blakey_boy9]

oh man, cant say i know much about computers but if thermal paste comes in little syringes it would be common sense that it wouldnt go all over your motherboard, some people..................

 

[Motoxrdude]

Yea even if i still had the mobo i still couldnt take pictures because i dropped my digital camera and it exploded on the ground. I need to buy another one for times like these

Man, you should of taken a picture of your camera exploding on the ground! That would've been cool!

I dont know how that wouldnt short circuit it or anything, i mean the entire socket is coated with thermal paste!

 

[M0ddingMan1a]

exactly.....

I think something is actually wrong with my computer, since most of the pics have "X's" in them, so i bet the picture is there for other people.

thermal paste isn't electrically conductive. ive yet to see any grease type substance be electrically conductive. even copper grease with 110 V applied to it wouldn't conduct

 

[M0ddingMan1a]

okay... well now i cant even see my own picture. cuz thres notin there. no X box or anything. :/

 

[Motoxrdude]

Lol, the guy wasnt that freakin retarded. But almost . U know that gap in the middle of all the pins, between the cpu and the mobo, that was completely filled with thermal paste.
Also wouldnt coating your pins like that create a bad connections with the mobo since its not conductive at all?
