Do you still want a video on how to apply/remove thermal compound?

Trifid · 04-05-2007, 05:58 AM

About a year ago there was a thread requesting videos of us working on computers. IIRC this didn't really take off.

Fast forward to today: I bought some thermal paste (Akasa 5022) which has a graph on the back saying it is better than AS5 and some TIM cleaner.

I will be doing it after lunch and wondered if the video was still wanted.

Finished applying it. Man really needs 4 arms. But apart from some rubbish camera angles, poorly placed water block and hoovering up my duster, dripping some water and camera running out of power just after I screwed the water block on, it all went OK.

CPU at 27*C on a warm spring day (19*C)!

I will edit the video once the camera has charged.

Pretty good.

You should have talked a little louder though.
