TIM and too much TIM.

[tweakboy]

Hey fellas how yall doing ? I was just thinking about this. My temps are too high basically. My question is

I put a bunch of TIM everywhere with latex glove,,, its a big ammount, not a thin line or something.


Im thinking theres soo much TIM the contact between waterblock and CPU is not a good one ?

I dont feel like taking out CPU because, Im already going to take it out in 3 months when Ivy E comes out. thanks gg

The right amount of TIM is the least amount of TIM. You want the thinnest layer possible mating the IHS to the heatsink.
