Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 28, 2007 6:00pm PDTWell C&C3 showed up at my door today. Hopefully I'll get some time to play around this weekend with it. The demo didnt really feel like anything particularly new but I think I'm most looking forward to the live actors and their hokey lines. I want you guys to seriously consider these tonight:
- We're all a bunch of morons - Wacky hexagon - McCain digs lesbians - MS buying Doubleclick? - How is Vista really selling?Lastly, Dinosaurs died from too much coke/whores
I decided to get rid of the gunk on the stock HSF for my CPU, and replace it with a freshly bought tube of Arctic Silver stuff, since Ghost Hacker was nice enough to let me use some of his last year, and it seemed to work real well. Um, I used very little of the stuff, and my CPU temps are like.. through the roof. http://carrion_luggage.shackspace.com/hotstuff.jpg This was after a 5-minute session of Company of Heroes. WTF?
I made doubly sure that this fan assembly with the 4 clips are indeed fastened securely. I also made sure I didn't use too much goop.
My question is, even though there was just 3 strips/stripes of the compound on the heatsink base when I put it on initially, and I pretty much made sure the entire heatspreader on the CPU was covered. Should I clean it off, and reapply?
