Took off Heatsink and no thermal compound left any reason this would
happen ?

Nothing on the CPu nothing on the heatsink ?

The reason i did this becuase the CPu was running WAY to hot, it was
running like 20c Ambient and 55 to 60 on idle and light load ?

I have two thermal compounds one i got with the heatsink which iam
using got it with my Vantec AeroFLow, someone said it was Artic Silver
3 i have NO idea if it is does not say that on the tube.

Anyway everythings ok now CPu at 46c idle at the momment, if i laped
the Heatsink prob 43c

Any ideas on why no thermal compound left ?, it was about 3 or 4
months since i applied it.

Thanks.

PS, Xp2400, 1.65 voltage.

Maybe you forgot to put it on.

It doesn't evaporate, so everything points to it never being there to
begin with or someone playing a mean prank.

I've had it dry up like a river bed, but I've never heard of it just not
being there. The physics on my planet preclude it vanishing.

Heatsink compound can pump out over time...
o But it goes somewhere
o Pump out is quite limited - ie, there's CLEAR evidence of it being left

Also don't put too much compound on when you do, it's not toast,
it's a heatsink to CPU core/heatspreader interface requiring little.
