Hello everybody,
My current PC is also my first one. I customized and ordered it from iBuyPower about a year ago because I didn't have any PC building experience then. Well, I have a good amount now, and I'm planning to upgrade it for the first time. I'm upgrading my AMD FX-6300 (I haven't decided what I'm upgrading to, suggestions would be appreciated). Conveniently, my friend wants to build his first PC right about now. He's ordering his parts soon, and he wants an FX-6300. He said he would buy mine, and here is my question: Can I take out the processor and heatsink together and put them in a new rig without applying new thermal paste? It seems a bit strange, but I can see how it would work. Neither of us have any thermal paste, so it would be nice if we could take that out of the whole process. I'm not worried about my own rig since I know AMD sends their heatsinks with paste on there ready to use. Thanks for any help! If you need anything explained further just ask!
