And you were both spot on. The compound that I'd applied in 5 places had barely spread at all. In fact, there were major air pockets to be seen. I've cleaned it all up, applied a very thin, even layer of compound, and re-seated the whole thing. On the first test, the CPU temp rose quite a bit slower, and so far it's only reached 61C. The heatsink itself is still not too hot to touch. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
