p7805u applyng thermal compound to chipset

im looking to apply artic silver 5 compound to the heatsink on my p7805u will i need lots is there anybody that can let me know whats too much or if i should go on the hard search for a thermal pad right now im using the old thermal pad it brings but its all torn up because i opened it once right after i had turned it off and some of it fell apart if anybody could please help me i would appreciate it

p.s i have heard that the heatsink on the p7805u has a big gap is this true?

 

also i would like to ask does anybody know why sometimes when i go to turn the computer on it takes forever to turn on the screen it turns on lights are on i hear the hard drive running and everything but the screen just stays black i have to turn it off and on sometimes more than 50 times till it finnaly turns the screen on

 

Do not put a thin TIM on then chipset. Many, including myself, have successfully used ICD on the chipset. This TIM, unlike most is extremely thick and well suited for this application...........

 

Yes, "big" gap, relatively speaking.

You might want to check out This Notebook Review Forum thread - "Official ICD7 thread" which may give you some more insight.

 

where could i buy some ICD7? the biggest amount

 

Here is the IC Diamond website showing dealers:

Also, it sometimes appears on eBay.

 

Microcenter might have some, but you are better off from ordering them online like FrozenCPU

 

The gap didn't seem all that big to me when I opened my 7805u up. You really don't want too much thermal paste. Just a nice thin even layer to whatever surface you're applying it to. Enough so you can't see through it. You can buy artic silver at radio shack. So if you don't want to buy it online.

 

You have to remember that "large gap" is a relative term... and in computers the chipset has a large gap. AS5 is a great thermal goop, but it is very thin so has a good chance to "run out". Thats why there is a thermal pad on it, ICD turns a bit "waxy" and will actually fill the gap with out running

 

I've never tried ICD. Artic Silver has worked well for me thus far. I'll have to keep ICD in mind next time I open my laptop up and give it a try.

 

This is most likely the updates that windows is applying. You may have a setting set that allows windows to automatically update. It will download them when you are online and then when you reboot or turn on again later, it will apply them. It may take a few minutes. DON"T TURN OFF YOUR LAPPY WHEN ITS DOING THIS. Just let it do its thing and let it boot up. I don't know if you may have compromised the update by turning it off and on 50 times in a row but I guess you'll have to wait and see.

It shouldn't happen EVERY time you turn on your computer. If it does, then it is something else. Good luck.

 

does anybody have any tips on applying this icd on the chipset i dont want to do it wrong and also on the processor do i put just a tiny drop or what?? :s

 

ICD is different from other thermal compounds which had to be put on as thinly as possible. ICD is a good conductor of heat so it can be put on thick. Check how big the gap is between the top of the chip and the heatsink and put in enough to fill that gap. ICD is non-conductive so it doesn't really matter if you get too much oozing out, but it will look messy if that happens.

 

im still having problems when i turn it on if its turned off for over 5 minutes when i go to turn it on it just stays black screen i then have to turn it off and on about 20-50 times then it finnaly turns on does 3 beeps then i turn it off and turn it back on and the screen turns on and shows the bios does anybody know how i can fix this or what could be causing this???? please help

 

did anyone having answer for kingcobra25.... still waiting for that...

I would recommend starting a separate thread with your question, kingcobra.

It is somewhat burried in a thermal compound topic.

 

He had PM'd me, I told him to try one memory stick at a time in each individual slot. Haven't heard from him since..........

 

i ordered some ICD7 it will arrive in 5 days already pm'ed tanware to find out the best way of putting it on i dont want to mess it up i will be putting it on the cpu and Chipset i also tried the things with the memory sticks talked to my uncle he said the memory sticks are somehow getting static..

 

It is rare fr them to be getting static, it isn't that rare for them to have been zapped one time and now ruined. sometimes only one gets bit so trying what I suggested one stick at a time in both slots may yeild you a bootable machine without the bios beeps.

If you are getting a supply of static that was keeping you from booting new memory will do nothing to stop the problem as the static will be there with the new sticks. Overclocking the FSB or using a program that plays with the memory's SPD has also killed more than one or two memory sticks too........

 

what do u mean by zapped?? and i tried what u said dint do anything left it on all night with the screen off turned it off in the morning and back on and it worked lol its weird

 

??????????
