A recipe for disaster............. I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.

Reapplying your current heatsink with Arctic Silver will barely increase your Core Speed, and since you're n00blike you might end up killing your vga card. Its not worth the risk.

"woow dude i was just asking!" You'd rather I gave you poor advice and fried your PC? I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.

How do you learn?????? You try things...... If u think taking off a heatsink is hard work u should not be giving advice on an overclocking form.

No one said removing a heatsink was hard work...but I assume n00blike (as his name would imply) is a "newbie" at this sort of stuff. Maybe he read something about Arctic Silver being the greatest product since sliced bread, I don't know. But if his system is stable & temps are good, there's very little to be gained by applying Arctic Silver, & there's the potential for disaster if something is done wrong. There are dozens of other changes or upgrades that can be done to improve performance...applying thermal paste is very low on that list.

"If u think taking off a heatsink is hard work u should not be giving advice on an overclocking form." Rob, clearly you have no knowledge of the work/risks involved or you wouldn't have commented. Removing a heatsink, cleaning it, applying a new thermal compound, and replacing said heatsink is a RISKY job. Especially to someone like n00blike, who clearly doesn't have the first clue about what he's doing. He just saw that all the other kids in this forum were raving about Arctic Silver, so he needed to "keep up". "How do you learn?????? You try things......" Yeah, I first tried it about a year ago, had to buy myself a new mobo, cpu, and ram, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING. Personally, I'd like to learn without spending £200 ffs. I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.

I know of the risk involved!!! Thats why I said he should read how to do it first. If u read and follow the directions you don't have spend 200 in parts. Lets all listen to the guy who can't change a heatsink himself. (lol)

All said don't take off the heatsink just leave as is. When you make your next upgrade practice on ur old pc untill you are sure u will not break the new one. If you use the artic silver let us know how it all worked out and if you are happy you did it.

No offense really, but have you ever tried *helping* a person out for once?

EsP_ Sabertooth does a LOT of helping in the Xp forum, and damn clever the man is too. I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.

I don't go to the Xp forum, do I? I don't even like Xp, its stable and good for gaming and all but its s.l.o.w I would prefer something like 2000 Pro rather than Xp. By the way whats up with you lately lol you seem to be insulting people rather than giving them tips. :|

You will notice that I have only retaliated, never instigated. If someone's going to call me a liar, or curse at me, then I'll rip 'em up. Wouldn't you? I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.

EsP_, How do you want your beef; Rare, Medium or Well done. Just like Hooner said I have only retaliated,never instigated. With regards to my helping other or lack there of, and stupid threads, you can either have the moderator BAN! me or you can buy my "Sabertooth Input Blocker" program all I need is your CC# and I'll tell you how to get it. I should have doused you with some High-Octane gasoline and then flame you but, IT DOES ME NO GOOD!!! Have I made my point or do you still want your beef. --- Non Sibi Sed Aliis ---

I don't care Sabertooth I would download a Sabertooth Input Blocker but its just a waste of time for me besides they are expensive and I cant afford them. I am too lazy to ask the moderator too. But...you know what I think I might like a Sabertooth Input Blocker actually. Send it to me here, my email is udumbsh*t@yahoo.com Thanks
