Re: E-6300 Heat Sink

I'm sure that you're right Dicecca112, there probably would be the possibility of gaps. I just thought that with today's super-specs and tolerances that both pieces (heat sink, stones and processor) could be manufactured with the same flatness and curve especially when produced by the same manufact...

Re: E-6300 Heat Sink

They take the place of thermal compound. Well they are actually thermal compound. The pressure from mounting the CPU will cause them to spread evenly over the CPU and heatsink, so there is no user intervention required. If you have some high grade silver based thermal compound, such as arctic silve...

E-6300 Heat Sink

Hi, I'm building my first computer and everything seems to be pretty straight forward, except for the use of silver thermal compound. LOL. Therefore, I have a question on the Intel 6300 heat sink and application of thermal silver compound (if any). I've read my thermal compound instructions, but I'm...
