Yes, I know this is in the wrong forum. But it''s really important. I got a new T-bird for X-mas, problem is it gets weird errors. After chatting on GameDev I got the information that it was running to hot. And that''s true the temp went up to 80''C It still works(Thank God for that). Anyway. I have a fan and a heatsink. But there was some kinda "Heatsink compound" with the heatsink. I think the problem is that it should be used somehow. How and where should it be used? There was no manual with the heatsink(It''s a Thermal Total Solutions heatsink). MindWipe

Then why did you post here?

you smear the thermal compound on the side of the heatsync that touches the porcessor. It transfers heat betweek the processor and heatsync/fan.
