Use some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.. Clean it carefully and let it dry..

No, I just blocked you from PM'ing me.. Even after I asked you not to and to post your replies in the thread and not via PM!!!

Use the rubbing alcohol as I suggested .. then, place a small drop on the centre of the heatsink and use a credit card (or something similiar) to spread it around..

i have cleaned the processor and i have put a little bit on and spreaded it out and it seems to be working fine but i have heard if you put too much on it fries the CPU

[Murray S.]

It won't fry it but it won't do what it should either.. The CPU will run hotter if there is to much but most newer systems will shutdown if the CPU becomes too hot in order to protect the CPU..

[nost]

[Murray S.]

That's why you use the rubbing alcohol.. to soften it up..

And, enough with the "fry the CPU" kick okay.. Not going to happen !!!

[Murray S.]

Yes.. and it will lock up and shut the system down as well..
