what the heck is going on? i've tryed this SEVERAL times. by NO WAY am i a NOOB.
i have bee using the zalman thermal grease for over a year now and have had great temps.
i have built 5 computers in the past month and i have noticed after about a week, the cpu temps begin to rise higher every day. i pulled of all of the cpu coolers and GONE!!! where the hell did it go? i have lapped all the cpu's and heatsinks, reapplied the grease, and reinstalled the coolers. (notice: i used several different bottles of zalman paste for this to make sure it wasnt just that bottle)
here i am a week later, seeing random reboots, lockups, and once again raising temps. i check the paste.... GONE! WTF is going on?
any suggestions on good thermal grease that wont disappear?
