[H0nDA2000]

i just got a new motherboard an Asrock p4vm8
is not smth big is just cheap and i guess it has enough overclocking options
And smth else ... would it be ok if i put the cpu on the new mb without the thermalgrase ... ? would it be many problems there ?

thx

motherboard, is as you say...cheap. ASRock are normally a budget manufacturer
As for the thermal grease, i wouldn't put the hsf on without it, but its possible.

Lol

You cannot ensure a good contact between the CPU and the HSF without a grease. Therefore, you would be risking quite a lot.

well thermal paste is like $5

if the previous paste is still there it should work, they dont dry up.

1) they do dry up eventually
2) best to replace it after removing the hsf from the cpu to prevent air pocket collecting, that is after all one of the reasons for thermal greese
