Question about CPU Cooling Fan

Recommended Posts

My computer was having heat problems, so I decided to open her up and take a look and sure enough the cpu cooling fan was covered in dust.

 

So I removed the Fan and heatsink from the processor to clean it all up.

 

I noticed a thermal insulator goop, that I tore when removing the heatsink.

 

Upon some reading I have come to the conclusion that its a good idea to apply some sort of new thermal insulation.

 

The question is, what on earth can I use? I've looked around the internet and can't find anything that tells me whats ok to use for this...only a bunch of warnings saying I better use something.

 

So now my heatsink is de-attached from my mother board waiting for me to plug it back in so I can use it frown

 

Can someone tell me what I can use and where to get it please?

 

thank you wink
