    Thermal pad
    « on: September 05, 2006, 03:49:09 AM »
    My new motherboard has just arrived  :)  and im am concerned about the thermal interface material. From what ive read you either need thermal greese or a pad, I am not sure wether my processor came with a thermal pad/what it looks like. On the bottom of the processor there is a little gray square that is soft, slighty spongey to the touch. Surely this has to be a thermal pad?

        Just remember to use one or the other - never both.  ;)
