Thermal paste goes on the bottom or top of cpu?

Hi, managed to get thermal paste on the bottom of a socket 775 cpu, wiped it off with a dry cloth but the pc will not go. Is it buggered? or is there something i can clean it with properly? (if i hold it in the right light can still see smears on the bottom)
Thanks
Hmm maybe ill try meths while im waiting for a reply.....

Well looks like you logged off.
Anyway, I wont ask how you got paste on the wrong side.
When I am installing a previously installed cpu I use alchohol on a Q-tip to clean the Chip and the heat sink. It has never appeared to cause any damage. I would try and limit the amount used though. The board side would be the most problematic as fibers from whatever you use might remain. perhaps some compressed air after you have swabbed it would clear it out. I would get a magnifying glass and inspect it carefully to make sure NOTHING is contaminating the socket. Also there are probably some surface mounted components on the contact side of the CPU. Check carefully to make sure there is no contamination there either.
I use Arctic Alumina paste. They used to have a good instruction page with pictures at www.arcticsilver.com  Take a look.
Good luck

  • I'm on plan mode In Adobe muse, I have my paster page at the bottom and all subsequent pages at the

    I'm on plan mode In Adobe muse, I have my paster page at the bottom and all subsequent pages at the top. I've changed my page dimensions in the master page by altering the height, however, these changes have not been made in the subsequent pages up top. How come?

    Several possible reasons:
    1) Is the master page applied to the pages?
    2) Did you increase or decrease the height of the master? The size of actual pages is the maximum of the size of the applied master page and the size that's required to contain the content that's been laid out on the page.
    3) Has the minimum height of the non-master pages ever been set? If so, it overrides the master page value. To get the normal page to again honor the minimum height set in the master page go to the individual page in the Plan view and use the context menu to select "Reset Page Properties". This will revert all the page properties to match those of the applied master.

  • Why does pressing the down arrow button result in going to the bottom of the page and being nunable to go up or down one line at a time?

    i dont know what to say in way of clarification. when looking at a page i am forced to use the "slide" on the margin which is very sensitive on very long documents instead of the down arrow to move one line. pressing the arrow results in going to the bottom and you cant return using the arrow.

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • When i open firefox it instantly goes to the bottom of the page then opens a new one. i cant close the pages down the bottom and they are running in the background slowly everything down

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Hi thee.  As logical as I can be.  I export a file back into my folder as a PSD.  I then export that file to PS.  Work on it, save and return it to LR.  The file goes to the bottom of the folder from where I have to put it back in the original place, taking time and driving me slightly mad.  Why does the file not go back to where it came from please?  Thanks  Tim

    Umm, but this folder is an amalgam of two cameras and five cards, and I want them in capture order!  Thanks for trying though Jim.

  • How to use Percent_Rank to knock out the bottom and top 10% of query?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use Percent_Rank to knock off the bottom and top 10% of a query result, and then take an average of what's left.
    The query is of the form:
    SELECT 'Average Resolution Time Days' Service_Time_Type,
    ROUND(NVL(AVG(NVL(hds.hds_working_duration(jr.date_lodged, jas.job_close_date),0)),0),2) Time_Days
    FROM hds.hds_job_request jr, hds.hds_job_assignment jas
    WHERE jr.job_id = jas.job_id
    and jas.job_close_date is not null
    AND jas.job_close_date >= '01-JAN-2006'
    AND jas.job_close_date < '01-NOV-2006'
    I would like to add a: WHERE PERCENT_RANK ?????? BETWEEN 0.10 and 0.90, but I can't work out how to use it, can someone help?
    Thanks
    Adam

    I worked it out:
    This is the query I ended up with:
    SELECT 'Average Resolution Time Days' Service_Time_Type,
    ROUND(AVG(duration),2) Time_Days
    FROM
    SELECT hds.hds_working_duration(jr.date_lodged, jas.job_close_date) duration,
    round(percent_rank() over (order by hds.hds_working_duration(jr.date_lodged, jas.job_close_date)),2) pr
    FROM hds.hds_job_request jr, hds.hds_job_assignment jas
    WHERE jr.job_id = jas.job_id
    AND jas.job_close_date IS NOT NULL
    AND jas.job_close_date >= '01-JAN-2006'
    AND jas.job_close_date < '01-NOV-2006'
    WHERE pr BETWEEN 0.1 AND 0.9
    ORDER BY 1
    Thanks for all your help

  • Jumping to the bottom or top of a photo album?

    Just wondering whether there was a way on the iPhone to jump directly to the bottom or top of a photo album, like the Safari jump to the top tap? Would be very useful for photo albums in the hundreds.

    There is no quick way of doing it, either scroll or exit the album access a different album then access the previous album again and you will be back on top

  • When I reply to a e-mail, my reply always goes to the bottom of the page on the E-mail rather than on the top of the page. How can I fix that. in English

    Is there a fix for making the reply message start at the top of the Page rather than the bottom of the page. No one ever thinks to look at the bottom of the page for a reply message to a E-mail.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". That is probably a setting in the web-mail software, like in their Preferences panel. There is no setting for that in Firefox.

  • Can window size be adjusted? It goes off the bottom of my iMac screen.

    I can't get to the tool adjustments or the bins because they are off the bottom of my iMac 21.5" screen. Can't reach the screen corner to adjust window size. Any remedy?

    Drag the top left of your PSE Window down and to the left to shrink the size of the window, then reposition the window so now you can see the bottom right corner.

  • My JScrollPane scrollbar defaults to the bottom not top

    Hi,
    I have a slight problem with a JScrollPane in that it appears to default the scrollbar to the bottom when the scrollbar is visible. I basically have a panel on a JFrame containing a JTextArea within a JScrollPane.
    Does anyone know how I can make it default to the top ? I think I found a method that works on JScrollBar but can't seem to find one for JScrollPane.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I've just tried this and it works great, thanks for that.
    I was looking for methods in JScrollPane to control the bar, never thought of the JTextArea class having the answer

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
