Opened up a 200GB Maxtor drive I had laying around (never buy anything Maxtor). It's got bad sectors up the bum and gets scalding hot while running. But, it's still pretty on the inside like all HDD's.

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010, 03:09 PM

decided to take of the cooler and apply new thermal paste, and that was a good ideaXD

maybe i should lap it?

DOM · Apr 15, 2010, 03:12 PM

i just redid my paste

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010, 03:13 PM

you also had a ton of paste on it?

DOM · Apr 15, 2010, 03:14 PM

yep but good thing its wasnt all hard lol

also did you see my pics above

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010, 03:14 PM

haha its also a new cardXD i put on some mx2, saw a 8c drop

TotalChaos · Apr 15, 2010, 05:48 PM

that card had way too much paste on it, kinda makes you wonder what robot screwed up and said lets put 3 squirts on this one

>>>(FIH) The Don off topic but how does that Kingston SSD perform, I saw it in your specs and have one like it arriving Monday

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010, 06:51 PM

they always do imo, EVERY single card i have owned had too much ont, but thats okay, better that than nothing

uhm it works okay, but its not top notch for OS disc, mine kinda "laggs" every once in a while, and honestly, i cant feel any difference from my 7200.12 to this, except that i dont have to wait on things to be done, all programs etc starts when i click the icons, no waiting on loading etc

ste2425 · Apr 15, 2010, 07:41 PM

whats the best way to clean of the thermal paste from a chip? especially if its gone a bit hard

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010, 07:44 PM

high % alcohol like 90% or higher, for the hard part on the chip it self i use either my credit card or something similar, some hard plastic

Wile E · Apr 16, 2010, 03:02 AM

I use ArctiClean. Stuff is amazing. Even takes off those hard, pink, gum-like pads you find under some chipset coolers. Lasts a long ass time too. I've had a single kit for like 2 years now.
