Recently purchased a Masscool copper heat sink/fan.
I am puzzled a bit by the instructions.
"If grease is already pre-applied on the heat sink, DON'T need to put
additional grease on CPU surface. If grease is not already pre-applied on
the heat sink, please put a think layer of great on CPU surface evenly."
I've seen heat sinks with "thermal pads" on them, but not sinks with grease
pre-applied on them.
Surely, I need to remove the existing grease from the CPU, don't I, and
apply a layer of new grease on the die, to get the best thermal transfer?
They don't mean that I should leave any old stuff on the CPU?
(my current CPU is cooking ... I have been using the heat sink that came
with the boxed AMD CPU ... with the thermal pad on the bottom.)
