Message: Subject: Newbie - Do I use thermal compound *and* a thermal pad? By: Scott (IP: 195.212.29.*) Written on: 09-02-2007 19:58 Hi, Reading on this website: "In no case, a thermal pad and thermal compound should be used together." I couldn't work out if they meant that you should always use the compound [B]and[/B] a pad or only one of them? Please help before I inadvertantly blow my new CPU up!! Very new to all this upgrading malarky! ;o) Cheers Scott
