I got the higher temperature with that method as well.
This is because of the drop wont be wide enough to let the heatpipe get in touch with processor IHS Thermalpaste should be applied to all heatpipes in order to dissipate the heat faster. |

QUOTE(gsan @ Mar 30 2008, 09:19 AM) so, the thermal paste should apply evenly on the IHS only and both the IHS and the base of the s1283? No, but i'm not really sure the best apply method though. I apply a thin line along the IHS (AS5 method for quadcore) then add a bit at each side of the line(this is to ensure there is thermalpaste in between the IHS and heatpipes). |

QUOTE(Nidz @ Apr 3 2008, 11:45 PM) based on earlier discussions in ckhoong's thread, a rep from xigmatek had already explained that the best method to apply TIM on s1283 is using 'rice grain' method... even some users like kmarc 'invented' his own method in applying TIM, its not that effective than applying it normally... it should be fine if your rice grain size is big enough to cover all three heatpipes.therefore, i apply TIM as usual, using rice grain method... so far, no problems... it has been 8months... huhu did you ever take the cooler out and have a look on the heatsink base? were the TIM got contact with all the heatpipes? |
