[stupidusmaximus]

i just took off my heatsink and fan coz the cpu was heating up pretty bad...i cleaned the damn heatsink as it had a handful of dust on it...temps went down by 6 degs after i put it back....anyway, when i took it out i noticed that my thermal paste that was on when i bought the pc has dried up....issit extremely neccesary for me to get thermal paste for my cpu ASAP? thanks...
