Hello to all
I have a question for anyone who is familiar with using thermal pads, I didn't mean just scraping them off and replacing with paste, but actually using them. I was installing a Corsair cooler model H100i V2 that has a round thermal pad on it. I noticed the round thermal pad was smaller than the CPU itself. So I put it down on top of the CPU without fastening it in place. I just wanted to lift it back off and look to see what kind of contact impression it had made, to see how the CPU and the thermal pad lined up, and the coverage area. Somewhat like a "dry fit" When I took it back off to look, I noticed part of the thermal pad was still stuck to the CPU, and part of it was still on the Cooler pad. STUPID ME, I didn't know it would stick. So I am wondering if I can just put it back on, and let the CPU heat flow it all out, or if I have to remove all of the thermal pad, and replace it with paste. So please answer if you have any knowledge in this area.
Thanks so much
