lol...Its "fung yao" in chinese.Not sure how its said in english though..Anyway, i heard that those nail polish can also be used but never heard any recommendation though..

those square pad are thermal tape, commonly use on chips

u can use a tissue, but better use artic cleaner cause it will clean all residue on those chip

Hm... I just bought the coolermaster nanofusion. The instuctions they give me is different. Should i follow the instuctions they gave me though im not really understanding it or should i follow the online here http://www.techpowerup.com/printarticle.php?id=134 .

what are the different the link u given & the method recommend in this forum???

they both recommended u to use the grain method except other than the proc

I mean the instuctions given in the nanofusion. The instruction says to use the template that was given to me. But the template size doesnt seem to fit on a thermaltake btvx. If i do use the grain method, would it be correct for the nanofusion?

Btw, what does "Lap the heatsink so they get it smoother" means? Do i have to lap it first and then only use the grain method on the cpu?

aiyo wats the point...i have said time and time again, just buy the artic cleaner set. rm25, end of story.

Yea, i bought the arctic cleaner set and used it.Very good in removing old TIM.Worth every penny spent there...Still need to wait for the AS5 to sink in properly though...Another 1 week to go..

c...told u guys its worth it, and can use many many times... did u get a nice mentos smelling, like fruitish smell from the tim remover or the surface purifier?

lol..Yea i did.It has something like a lime/lemon smell for me.Its at the remover.The purifier doesnt have any smell..The cleaners can easily remove those old TIM from my proc.No more hassle next time i guess and i do feel it can last a long time...

yeah...like lemon smell...

yeah , funny eh...actually i though mine was rotton untill i bought wan more set, same smell...just wondering whether i had a double bad luck with the smell...seems like everybody also kena

articlean expensive lah..rm25 compared to the swan alcohol rm3 btw the alcohol wont short circuit the board rite if it touches the pcb? that's the main part im afraid off

though it wont short circuit your board but it will do a minor damage if you leave it too long. try not to spill alcohol on your comp.

Well, its ok considering that RM25 can last you quite a while.And i do not feel wana take the risk in using other type of alcohol that potential can damage my proc...So, i would say,RM25 is well spent here...

oh okay..dang looks like i've gotta get them articleans anyway

btw minor damage as in?

I personally dont know what damage it can be done as well...But i wouldnt wanna take the risk..lol..

can anyone tell me about the differences between
RM10 Thermal compound & Rm25 Thermal compound?

My 3.0Ghz stock temp is 43c average on idle using Gigabyte PCU22-VG.

OC'ing 3.75Ghz stock temp is 58c average on idle
