So my dad gots a computer with a P4 2.6ghz processor and its slow but I have an old CPU thats still in my old rig I havent used in a couple years, it is a P4 3.2GHz. Can I just switch these two processors without applying the silver compound or will I need to buy some before I switch? Also I dont know if the 3.2ghz cpu is damaged or not, parts from the system were taken out and reused. So if I put in faster processor that hasnt been used for awhile and if it happens to be damaged or not working, will it hurt the working system if is damaged? Such as the Mobo?
