factory applied thermal grease question
On my mobo I installed a phenom II x4 in year 2011. The included Copper AMD heatsink looked fine to install and I did not overclock this and will not so I installed it.
I recently started getting these thoughts of overheating so I started monitoring the cpu fan speed and it was fluctuating so I thought the fan was crapping out, so I purchased an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro rev2 HS/F, this came with pre-installed thermal paste; Should I leave the grease or remove it and apply the 3 yr. old Arctic Silver 5 ?
