How do you apply thermal paste?
Hi guys,
Just put all of my components together and hit the power switch. Within 20 seconds the system shut itself down. Upon restart I get a message that says "shut down due to excessive CPU heat." I used thermal paste on my P4 3.2 C, but am not sure if there is a special application procedure? Any help would be great. Thanks, Rob |

Did you use the fan that came with it? If you did then there should have already been a heatsink pad under it, too much heatsink compound is bad so if the 2 were together then that might be your problem, there should only be a thin coating of the stuff.

Are you using a Retail intel HS? If so the black pad on it is the thermal compound, no need for paste.

Thermal compound or thermal pad but never both. If your cam levers are broke like you said in you other post then you need to replace the heatsink and fan.
