I'm doing a bit of hardware testing, which involved popping CPUs out of one machine and into the other. I never applied thermal paste when installing the CPUs originally, as the fan/heatsink included plenty slathered on it.
However, on the older CPU I noticed that there isn't as much as on the newer one. Should I wait to use the CPU until I've ordered some paste or should what is left work fine?
I'm keeping each cooler with its CPU.
So, new guy asking a probably obvious question.
