    Poor performance- why? Can someone help?

    I don't have any AS5 so I wasn't planning on removing the processor/heatsink, but should I do it anyway just to check it out? not sure what a TIM is, but I'm pretty sure I removed everytihng except the blue tape stuff on the heatsink itself bc I thought that was the compound that spreads...
