      I like my parts to fit toolessly when I’m done, so I use my router to dovetail the joints and secure them with gorilla glue in case the joints expand.

    Oh god I just realized those white dots between the CPU and the cooler are probably those adhesive Velcro dots.

      If you hole punch the CPU to get it to fit, you don’t have to worry about it overheating…

    So you totally can put thermal paste in the pins like that. Everything else….

      Really? If it’s conductive, it’ll short every pin. If not, it won’t connect CPU to motherboard?

      I figure you’re probably correct, but I don’t understand.

        But yeah thermal paste just isn’t conductive and the pressure supplied to the pins is high enough to still get contact.

          You could hurt yourself, or worse: damage your computer.

          LOL, I like this guy.

          That makes sense. Thanks!

        There was a video I watched several years ago, no idea how to find it again, where this guy fucked up a motherboard / CPU with thermal paste to see if you actually can add ‘too much paste.’ Directly underneath the pins, wayyy too much on top, extra around the socket for good measure, smashed it all together, and the thing just… boots normally…

        Kinda makes sense tho, every tube of paste I’ve used was marked as nonconductive, and the CPU socket should be designed such that carbon buildup is scraped from the pins when reseating, which would clear away the paste and allow good contact.

    I was hoping that the last shot was going to be that of a screen with a windows installer running.

    But like, Vista or something
