buy Halo PC/CE Cd keys in bulk?

You don't always use thermal paste, if you have had your processor and heatsink lapped then putting thermal paste on would actually fuck up the thermal transfer.
The whole point of thermal paste is to fill the cavities between the metal surfaces, but that's besides the point, most CPU's have a built in safety mechanism which either clocks the processor down when being overheated or the system itself cuts the power off entirely.

Why are you defending him? He was the one who posted about it on the SmG forums. If I recall correctly he may have used a little bit of paste, but it wasn't nearly enough so the temps were running borderline (80-90 degrees all the time).

Either way it was a pretty fail-host mistake to make.

Someone dumb enough not to use thermal paste doesn't lap their CPU, if they did they'd probably sand all the way into the guts of the thing.

If you lap your heatsink and processor you don't need to apply paste to said processor.
That's my point.

I edited my post to make it more clear.

And he didn't lap his processor so your point is off-topic and irrelevant to what he did. Not to mention that A LOT of people only lap their cooling unit instead of both units. In which case paste is still required.
