Hi,
I have been a reader of these forums for quite some time. I got my Dell XPS Gen 2 in February of 2004. I also recently modded it... I'll post pics if I have time later...
Anyway, to the point of this thread... I'm going to have to reapply some thermal compound to the processor, because I just had to take off the heatsink... and the thermal compound that's already there... well, it just all stuck on the bottom on the heatsink. With higher CPU temps than before, I suppose the heatsink and the processor don't have good contact... So here's my quesetion: what company/type of thermal compound do you guys suggest I use? And any tips on applying it?
Thanks to any and all suggestions. If you need my system's specs, just ask... because I'm in a rush right now...
Thanks again,
Jaden
