how do I use arctic silver..where,when and how??

Question

HELP???

Answer 1

use it between a heatsink and a cpu or other chip watever the case may be ... it is electrically conductive so u have to be careful not to get it on anything else and it is messy so dont get it on ur hands ... typically u would put a spot in the center of the cpu about the size of a large grain of rice then put the heatsink on top ....

Answer 2

well arctic silver is a HTC heat transfer compound
its placed over the cpu between the heatsink and the cpu, only a very small amount is used.. since if add to much that can cause problems, just like having to little.

Answer 3

It is thermal paste, you need to put it on the CPU core so that it helps to transfer the heat to the heatsink. Don't put too much on, just a pea-sized portion.
