Is the gray stuff under the pump that you put on the processor thermal paste? I was building my pc, left it on my bed to go to work and when I come back, I noticed that the gray stuff doesn't form a perfect circle and there is like one or two 1mmx3mm spot where the stuff is gone.

If it's thermal paste, do I need to put some back? I don't think I have some at home...

Go to radio shack and buy some new paste, probably arctic silver 5 or anything. A good application is required for it to cool. I have 2 of these zalman pumps and they work great, but if you messed up the factory paste you'll have to get after market paste. Clean the bottom with a soft coffee filter and alcohol before applying new paste.

Shit, was hoping for it to still work, didn't really want to waste any more money on this...

Guess I'll try to look for some cheap paste around.. hope I can find something under 5CAD

Thanks a lot
