Oh i founded the POST for thi but!! Do i take it off when the pc been on forawhile so its easy to get off or do i wait for the pc to cool down so its hard again?
(i moved them from cpu forum)

Ok i ordered a new hs i guess it has a pad on it. Anyway do i just put the new one on or just leave it the crap on the cpu die and put the other one? If not do i remove it but how i rember seeing it on theses forum ue alchol? use q tip? im confused. Yes i bulid this pc from stratch and having tons of problems as you know, if you helped me b4. I have freezing after awhile of playing i guess if my cpu hits 58 c it crashes its a DURON. I have changed psu's so im getting its heating. So i brought 2 non ball bearing fans one for front and other for back. And the hs. Now i put it in here b/c it has something to do for cpus and for cooling. So mods dont move or close.

Are you from Germany or something? I can barely under stand your post. The anwser is use 99% rubbing alcohol and some tissues or q-tips, tissues wipe more stuff so I recommend using tissues. Then apply some thermal paste/grease like Artic Silver 3 to the core, you want a thin layer. Just barely thin enought to almost see the writing on the core. Attach the heatsink to the socker making sure the heatsink does not ride up on the plastic ledge.

Dude. Maybe instead of getting a summer job (like your sig says) you should go to summer school and take a basic English class. Your post is near incomprehensible.

I think me and NokiaDude got the same impression from your post. You should clean the remains of the old thermal pad off the top of your CPU before you install you new heatsink. Do not use the pad (if there is one) on your new heatsink either. Get some Artic Silver III and apply it by following the instructions on Artic Silvers' website. Make real sure that you mount the new heatsink correctly.
