is it ok 2 apply new compound on top of old (stock p4 compound basically that kin of sticker} compound , or do i have 2 clean b4 doing it ? if so how do i remove old compound
NO......Remove the old thermal interface material. I use Rubbing alcohol,
and some good old elbow-grease(for manufacturers TIM). Make sure the
old crap is 100% gone. Then apply some Arctic Silver 5 or 3. Very thin layer
is all that is needed, and try and apply it evenly. Credit card works good for
applying thermal paste. GL
