No, just leave it alone. No performance increase, and something could be damaged in the process.hello i wanted to know if cpu can be taken out after removing heat sink and then clean golden points and its socket with alcohol ? will it help in performance increase as i habe never done this and is it worth it ?
MX-4 is cheap and easy to use. Well, relatively cheap. Anyway, get some of that. I see some great deals for it on eBay. 4 ounces for around $4 shipped. Can't beat that.
I use AS5, been using it exclusively since 2006. I got some installed on my friends 2500k build i put together back in 2012. Its still holding which is amazing. Temps and stuff are still fine on the Intel stock cooler in a case with only a single exhaust 80mm. She never complains about the build, i mean who could its a 2500k.
AS5 should be adequate, but I wouldn't use it today when buying fresh paste. MX-4 has good longevity. As long as you aren't using it in a pump-out scenario.
So today I though I would clean the cpu fan, so I removed heatsink put it back and pc is not booting properly or I keep getting no display input
is it because I did not put any thermalpaste, I don't have any right now...
I touched the cpu then it was hot, cleaned it with microfiber, it still has some cheapo thermal paste, old stuff..
Sometimes cpu light remains on but monitor keep showing no input.
I was also cleaning graphic card with iso 70% alcohol, I guess some must have gone near cpu maybe as never faced hearing issue on graphic card and was main reason I opened the cabined and decided to clean cpu heat sink too.
Current lockdown can't get any thermal paste.
Shall I put sesodyne sensitive toothpaste for time being ? Will it work ? Read on net can be used as thermal paste

So we get new members where one decided to use toothpaste as thermal paste, and another one complaining about CPU temps, but who doesn't have a back plate on their motherboard, so they can only rest the cooler on top of their CPU.As Mark said earlier you should have left it alone. Using tooth paste is sheer lunacy. Get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it for you.
I guess that's a relief that it was only a thought.Did not use toothpaste, i was asking when I googled it came up..
Waiting for software installs.I guess that's a relief that it was only a thought.
I know you have a "build my PC" thread going, but based on the rubbing alcohol and toothpaste questions in this one, I suggest buying a pre-built or having a local PC repair shop build it for you. I think you will regret it if you decide to try doing it on your own.
And we're troll thread.Shall I put sesodyne sensitive toothpaste for time being ? Will it work ? Read on net can be used as thermal paste
He could even have messed with the memory to get the HSF off, or not plugged fans in.So you now have no video? You worked on several things so you have to narrow it down. You may have bent some pins on the cpu. Or the cpu may be getting so hot so quick that it won't post. You also were messing with your gpu correct? You also could try pulling the battery and resetting your cmos.
Post #13. There is no TIM applied. What do you expect? This thread is providing some comic relief however.So you now have no video? You worked on several things so you have to narrow it down.

"Ya I thought it was ok to remove heatsink but not cpu..i did not know heatsink and cpu make a binding with paste which I just read on Google.
