quick cpu question

[stishdr]

when installing the cpu, do i remove the white thermal pad off of cooler if I'm going to use artic 5?

 

[ghost]

yeah deffo, use one or the other, not both.

 

[stishdr]

how much artic 5 do i put on cpu?

 

[ghost]

Not alot, just enough to cover the CPU with (a thin layer).

 

[stishdr]

ok, thanks

put a small tab in the middle of the cpu, then spread it around the cpu until you can barely see the surface.

About half the size of a rice grain.
