Hi,
I have a dell xps 400 and I recently opened up the computer to clean the dust out. I unscrewed and took out the fan for the cpu to clean but I was wondering do I need to apply a thermal compound or something? There was thermal compound applied before, so I was wondering if I needed to purchase thermal compound and apply it again before replacing all the parts and fans and closing up the computer and starting up. Which thermal compound would I need to purchase for the Dell Xps 400? and how would I do this procedure?
