THERMAL GREASE NEEDED FOR 933MHZ?

[www rob corn]

I have a slot 1 PIII 933MHz. I didn't apply any thermal grease but I have a cooler with three fans attached to the heat sink. Do I need to go get some thermal grease?

 

[Tetsuo316]

yes.

all cpu's require thermal grease between the heatsink and the cpu itself.

yeah, generally cpus above 800mhz will actually need that thermal grease, but it is not like the cpu wont work if you dont have it on. If you have a good hs/fan attached to it then you can cool it pretty well, but the thermal grease lowers the temp so well that i cant recommend not putting it on.
