Cpu Changing

Re: Cpu Changing

Buy Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. Will last you for a while.

As for BIOS flashing, go to your motherboards manufaturers website, download the latest BIOS for your motherboard and follow the instructions on how to install it.

Hey there~ Thank you for the replies.

Ok...but what do u mean by "flashing" to the latest bios, and how do i do it? ^^

It's only been a month since i applied that thermal paste on my cpu.
I did it when i bought a new cooler.

Are thermal pastes easy to find? Or maybe expensive?

Thx for the help~

Re: Cpu Changing

Yes, you need new thermal paste, a pea sized amount.

Re: Cpu Changing

Also do i also have to apply the Grayish stuff again?

When was last time you put some in/on?

You should flash to the latest BIOS before putting a new CPU in :)

Hi TGN?

Just a quick question.

I have a P5LD2 SE motherboard with a Geniune 2160 @ 1.80 Ghz 1.80Ghz cpu.

I might have a chance to change my cpu into a E4500 @ 2.20 Ghz
(Yeah I know it's still not good)

The question is, before I change the Cpu do I need to install a new Bios or install any new stuff for the new CPu?

Also do i also have to apply the Grayish stuff again?

Thank you
