This is for all you i3, i5, i7 users.
Normally, well for the past 10 years, I have used the default (in the
box) hs/fan. I also use the installed
thermal material I get.
I stopped Actic-Silver and ?whatever-oxidepaste? many years back.
*I do not overclock*. I run the cpu as it comes out of the box. Sure
cuts down on added expense. So far,
I have only lost one core of a C2D cpu. I believe/acceptthis. The cpu
will be replaced in due timewith a new
m/b and anew i5 cpu.
Opinions welcome about using the default boxed hs/fan and thermal
mumbo-jumbo from Intel.
Thank you,
Duncan
