[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1026389, member: 24098"] I can't help you on the part, but reapplying thermal compound is not standard maintenance. If it's done properly from the get-go, it doesn't need to be touched again - that is, unless you change the cooler. Even then, keep in mind that it needs to be just a paper thin coating. Any more than that and it acts like an insulator. It's just supposed to fill the microscopic gaps between the heatsink and the surface of the CPU. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
