Conductonaut paste for P5G41T-M LX CPU (solved)

[thompsonjim0000]

I am considering ordering some of this high conductivity thermal paste for my CPU heat sink.
P5G41T-M LX motherboard, standard cooler.

We have a heat wave at the moment, ambient temps in the high 30's C.
I saw a peak temperature of my CPU core @ 100 C. which gave me a bit of a shock.
I have dusted and cleaned fans etc.
I changed the paste again (ordinary paste from China - non descript). This helped a bit.

I don't know if my heat sink is aluminium or not. If it is not, I will order some of this (superior) Conductonaut.

Comments on the above please?

Jim.

Edit: I should also explain that the above temperature was during normal internet usage, maybe during a short video. No games or excessively high demand usage.

Well you can buy only new CPU heatsink (probably used), there is little diffirence between known brand thermal paste, china generic aren't good.
Which cpu do you have?

It is the one that was standard on this motherboard. I will look for further details later.

Thanks for the reply Robert.

Try this one Robert: -Processors-
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz : 1603.00MHz
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz : 1603.00MHz

Is that what you require?

Yes. I suggest you to remove heatsink and re-apply thermal paste on cpu (While PC is on side CPU facing UP! yes again i know) How they work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raynnb67MEM

If the plastic bit is broken on CPU cooler i suggest you to buy new one (or the plastic that is broken).

Thanks for the links Robert, very good.
However, it still does not answer my question re: the suitablity of conductonaut thermal paste for my CPU.

I have already replaced the paste with what I had in stock, after cleaning.
I now have both sides off the case of this computer and with the new CPU paste, it is running considerably cooler.

Yes, that is it.
I have just received a reply back from the local supplier claiming that my CPU has a copper face making this paste suitable for use on it.
Thanks for the replies.
I will mark this thread as solved.
