It’s been about 20 years since the last time I did it. All hail the gods of thermal conductivity!
Is there really a point to this? Similar time-frame as you. Old CPUs are pretty much trash. It works. No one would buy it though. Applying thermal-paste would do what? Make it run a bit cooler? I don’t even monitor the temperature… I’m writing from a place of ignorance. I do think things should be properly maintained; I just hadn’t thought of reapplying thermal-paste before.
I just did this about an hour ago for my Xbox. Stuff was original and crunchy.
This is an example of too much paste. It’ll be fine but yeah… Just a bit less.
I just saw it, lol, it’s like mydude is making a peanut butter sandwich
Yeah gotta agree. Got carried away with it a bit.
Thanks for reminding me I need to do this to both my laptops… fun.
OMG you paste heathen. That’s an atrocity being committed.
