Thermal Grease setting in?

Riznarf · 08-16-2007, 06:22 PM

Do you need to let the thermal grease (AS5 in my case) 'set in' or get absorbed or whatever before you start OCing?

dude you already have this in your other thread right below this one

dont make multiple threads for no good reason, your question has already been answered in your other thread

Starting new threads that you could have asked in your other threads isn't necessary. Makes the forums load slower if people keep asking different questions in new threads. You'll have to wait for it to burn in before you start overclocking.

^umm no he wont

you will be able to start overclocking right away, your temps will just be a little high until the grease cures which wont take long

Well letting it burn in would be on the safer side.

The second I turned my new Q6600 setup on, I immediately overclocked. The thermal grease, will cure over time, while I stress test.
