Hello,
I watched a video and noticed I put to much thermal compound so I took it off with a paper towel (without using alcohol). I put the new thermal compound the right way(pea). I thought this would improve performance but I ended up by getting 12 degres more( 26 to 45) when I wasn't doing anything intensive. I was wondering is cleaning with alcohol was really that important or if I was doing anything wrong.
Thank you
