Thermal material on hsf? Should i take it off....

[Cyrix]

For future reference, you can get Arctic Silver II for $5.99 and Alumina for $3.75 here.

Just got a quick question does the Arctic Silver 2 paste/compound have a life span B4 you have to re-apply it?

I have been slowly noticing a few degrees here and there, just wondering if this is dust build up or the AS2?

Many thanks :wave:

[Cyrix]

My guess would be dust buildup in the heatsink and fan.

I clean the dust balls out of mine once a month. ;)

Well it's almost my PC's First B/day (around January anyway), so maybe I should clean it out for the first time and see if I get any better temps. If anyones interested atm they are:

CPU: 36 C
Mobo: 20 C

Ambient: 15 C

Can you send those sort of ambient temperatures up here mate? :D ;)

[cybermick]

yeah gladly :D

[Albinus]

Are you sure you want to swap? It's over 30 degrees in the shade here :(

[cybermick]

Well actually maybe 30C in the shade is a little to warm;)

[Wiggo]

Too bloody warm so I hope that there's a good thunderstorm on it's way to cool things down. :cool:

Nothing but blue sky here mate - with only a few little clouds. I'll check the radar and see what that says ;)
