if you do not have Arctic silver thermal compound
then take the tape off that protects the blob,and use it.

look in cooling/overclocking forums.

i used to live in Saratoga Springs and worked in Schenectady for a while

GE?

contractor at GE, field testing gas turbines, it was a cool job, but too much travel with a family, nice for a single guy though, expense accounts in foriegn countries are cool

i lived in Schenectady at one time;back in the late 60's GE ruled!
Then came the mid 70's and GE went downhill;at least for employment, 🙁

I still live not far from Sch'dy closer to Albany more rainstorms in the area today.

Just use some Super Glue. I ran out of AS one time so I decided to try it and w00t! I got my 1600XP up to 2800XP with a stock HSF

Scrape off the putty and apply the glue
Place on the HSF quickly, if not just throw it in your oven on 400 for 10 minutes until the glue loosens up.
Place in the freezer to allow for optimum bonding then stick the CPU in the board. *

*Superglue works good here as well, you don't want to take the chance of it falling out. If you don't get it in in time, do the oven trick, might want to turn it down to 350 though, don't want to melt the board.

replace the putty with a small piece of plywood, if you wrap the plywood in aluminan foil it help disappate heat faster

Unless you're going to do some severe overclocking just use the TIM pad.
