I put together an internal diode reader for palomino core AMD chips this weekend and have been playing around with it. If you are serious about knowing temps, test cooling gear, or are just a geek (I ...

Developing high-power electronic devices with their simultaneous miniaturization is of critical importance. Consequently, the compactness in computers calls for higher integration of transistors ...

If you're building a computer, you need thermal paste, or heat paste, to ensure that your computer's processor doesn't overheat. It's a gloopy, silvery material that you squirt between the processor ...

I just built a computer and I seated the heatsink on the CPU. Following the instructions I coated the top of the processor with thermal paste. The entire CPU is covered with the paste. I have heard ...

When assembling a computer, including thermal paste, also known as heat paste, is essential to prevent the processor from overheating. This substance, typically a viscous, silver-colored material, ...

Some PC debates will likely never end, such as Mac versus PC, which browser is the best, and which pattern to use when applying thermal paste to a CPU heat spreader. Though the "dot in the center" ...

Noted hardware guru igor'sLAB has finally put the thermal paste application argument to rest. Apparently, it's best to apply the thermal paste in a straight line. At least for GPUs. Harish Kumar M ...

We all know that applying thermal paste to CPUs isn't the easiest thing to do, squirt a little on... move it around, make it kinda even... but now there's an idiot-proof method of applying the perfect ...

In context: One of the oldest debates among PC builders concerns the correct or most effective way to apply thermal paste. A single blob, multiple blobs, a cross, or a butter spread? Igor's Lab ...

The risks outweigh the rewards, massively ...

For years the PC building community has argued over the correct method of applying thermal paste. Some parties insist on using a pea-sized dot, while others favor a more elaborate application with ...
