Bought a 939Dual mobo with AMD 3000+ 64 processor and Arctic Silver 5. Since I didn't have access to internet I just guessed when it came to how to apply the Actic Silver 5. I wound up smothering every millimeter of the CPU with the dark grey gooey stuff and then put the heat sink on. I applied a nice thick layer around 1mm thick. Well, at least my CPU seems to run cool, somewhere around 35 degrees celcius.
After reading the instructions online I found out I was only supposed to add one small drop of the stuff on the center of the processor (the size of a couple of rice grains) and then give it a few twists to "spread" it around a bit.
I'm afraid something adverse might happen if I leave all that stuff on. What do you guys think??
