I have an AMD-E450 and I had to take the heatsink off to remove the mobo from my htpc and noticed the thermal pad has a couple of really tiny holes in it. Should I just take it off and use some thermal paste that I have or replace with another thermal pad? I'm going to have to take off the heatsink again here on Friday so that will be a good time to apply the paste if I wanted to. The temps seem fine though with the small holes. Thanks for help in advance.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
