Took off Heatsink and no thermal compound left any reason this would
happen ?

Nothing on the CPu nothing on the heatsink ?

The reason i did this becuase the CPu was running WAY to hot, it was
running like 20c Ambient and 55 to 60 on idle and light load ?

I have two thermal compounds one i got with the heatsink which iam
using got it with my Vantec AeroFLow, someone said it was Artic Silver
3 i have NO idea if it is does not say that on the tube.

Anyway everythings ok now CPu at 46c idle at the momment, if i laped
the Heatsink prob 43c

Any ideas on why no thermal compound left ?, it was about 3 or 4
months since i applied it.

Thanks.

PS, Xp2400, 1.65 voltage.

This is normal, but 4 months is really a short time.

yeah, I would say so, since I've pulled cpu's that have been in the field
for 5 years and still had moist thermal compund. About as normal as a 4
pecker billy goat.

Not unless you want higher temps.
