Message: <blockquote data-quote="eyepea" data-source="post: 8180506" data-attributes="member: 200324">When a new fan and heat sink assembly is bought, there is a black coloured strip of some material under the heat sink that will sit between the heat sink and top of cpu after the fan is installed on the cpu.If the heat sink assembly is removed and the cpu is replaced, what can I put between the heat sink and the cpu ? (am not replacing cpu, but replacing m/b)What is that black coloured strip called ?What is the difference in 'thermal paste', 'heat sink compound', 'thermal gel', if any ?I ask because, the black coloured strip is more like a piece of flat chewing gum, instead of being a paste or gel <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> ? Pls excuse my ignorance am not a h/w expert <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />Where can I buy it ?Can I re-use the existing heat sink material on top of cpu - it looks uneven and broken.Can I use something like given in link below: <a href="http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/31380-heat-sink-compound-25g-tube-200001000-25gm-servisol.html" target="_blank">http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/31380-heat-sink-compound-25g-tube-200001000-25gm-servisol.html</a>This is a heat sink compound put between ICs and heat sinks. It is white in colour.has anyone used something like above? If you use it, will removing the heat sink later be difficult ? That is will this normal white coloured heat sink compound make the heat sink stick hard to the cpu, which will not happen if the black colour strip material is used? Somebody said he heard something like this. Not sure.btw my cpu is E5300Thanks very much!</blockquote>
