how to apply AS3

KGH · Dec 20, 2002

hi all,

I'm going to install SK-7 w/ tornado fan on 1600+ agoia w/ Artic silver 3 .. this is my first time using AS3 as thermal grease ..I have read the instruction on AS3 page but not sure .. Do I apply AS3 on both ends ( the die surface .. that rectangle area and heatsink)
and how much ?

thanks

On the die and base, use a nice smooth thin layer. You don't want it spilling out the sides of the heatsink and socket.

Here's a link I found for ya.

ok

use a credit card to smoothe it out. It should be pretty thin, almost transparent, and it shouldnt spill out the sides. make it even as possible for best contact. Takes a few days to set, so ur temps will drop gradually by a few c.

What's making you doubt what you have read? The INSTRUCTIONS clearly states that you apply the compound on the heatsink's base & the CPU's core/die.

Good point I missed that since I take it all for granted these days.
See this is why more than one person responds to a post!!!!
