[QUOTE="Noels, post: 624499, member: 49942"] jbarnes, Sounds like to me you used too much paste on the processor. Too much is as bad as not enough and I suspect that hissing and the wet edges is indicative of burning excess paste. You need to apply paste on an Intel dual core CPU down the middle of the cores in a thin stripe, then put the heat sink on carefully to insure a good bond. Here's the Arctic site for Intel CPU pasting. Pick out the processor that is yours and click on it. You will get an instructional pdf that will show you how to paste the CPU. [url]http://www.arcticsilver.com/ins_route_step2intelas5.html[/url] BTW, I recommend springing for some Arctic Silver. Cheap enough and it works great! I've been using it with my builds for 3 years now... Good luck, Noel [/QUOTE]
