Thermal Paste Question..(Noobish Question)
Hey guys, I recently purchased Corsair H40 that came with pre applied thermal paste. Before I placed the H40 sink on my processor, I applied a thin layer on the on the processor with Cooler Master thermal paste. So essentially I mixed the H40 pre applied thermal paste with the Cooler Master thermal paste. Once I placedthe sink to the processor I had to do it twice when I realized that their where two pastes. I did not think anything about it so I just mounted back again (Without reapplying a new layer) I have used the system for about 2 days, and i have been getting really good temps, nothing past 40C(Gaming, browsing the web). I have searched the net for some good answers, most people say they dont recommend mixing two pastes, so my question to you guys, Am I OK? Or am I just being overprotective...
Thank you in advance.
