You say you are this guys friend, then act like one. Get in his face, look him right in the eye, say " Hoss, you do any work on your computer again by yourself, and you fug it up, and I hear about it, don't come calling on me for help. However, you can ask me for advice BEFORE you do the deed. You hear what I'm sayin ?"

Men, some folks should not be allowed around hand tools, or chinery. Nuff said.

heh heh heh, the guy does some pretty interesting stuff... wouldn't want to interfere with his, umm, creativity...

what the hell does he want to do anyway? spring cleaning on his CPU? perhaps put a little turtle wax on the chip?

OMGU2?!?! I put those on my Civic and I got at least 5 more horses outta it, I could feel the difference fo real

LOL! The temps were creeping into the 50s (he's got a thermaltake volcano thingamajig cooling it) and he figured getting the dust out of the heatsink would help cool things down. He had the best intentions for that CPU but ....

well let him be a lesson for you then. if it ain't broke... don't fix it. i've learned that from windows... but in my case it was just wasted hours.

yup can of air and vacumn cleaner to suck up dust blown into the air is the way..not removal..

 

[forumposter32]

I took out just the fan part of a heatsink once to clean it. That was kewl.

not to be mean, this is slightly funnny, run the computer under load before turning it off to soften the AS like people have said before me

:thumbsup:

And while you're at it, tell your friend to put less AS on (it's spewing over the edge).

The only reason it is funny is because CPUs don't make much heat when the core has been broken from the packaging. hint hint, read the entire thread.

Well, he tried the freezing thing and he broke the die off.... Man. second time it happened....

I did not know this was possible unless apllying excessive force. Your friend does know that computer parts are usually very delicate, and the amount of force to break them sometimes very small? That really sucks that he got the paste, is that what he used the first time as well?

edit: forgot to close my italic tag

 

[statik213]

yeah, confirmed it was paste! both times!!
