Thermal Pad?

17th Desaunct · 11-February-05, 01:19 PM

Hello again,
I have the Asus A8N-SLI Mobo, I am trying to put the koolacne chipset cooler on the Nvida 4 chipset, Its going to angled aliitle, I think thats ok. It doesn't aline correctly. My question is their is what looks like a square thermal pad with a square cut in the middle for the cipset on it. Where can I find a new one of these? can I use the old one? Should I use something else? This mobo has a chipset fan the comes stock with it, and thier was no thermal compound on the chipset. The fan was just placed on the square thermal pad with a square cut in the middle revealing the square medal chipset!
Thanks for you time, Desaunct

AS-5 is the best, but you have to be very carefull with it (Don't get it all over or it can cause a short)

You might want the AS Ceramique you can be a bit messy and it won't hurt anything
