    in the heatsink pictures, which is which? CPU vs GPU?

    update: never mind, i found it.

    a. the bronze (same color as heatsink pipes) one is the CPU
    b. the dark one is the GPU
    c. above the CPU is the northbridge chip

    are those thermal pads? did you put them yourself? i am planning to upgrade my CPU and i bought a CPU off e-bay. will arctic silver 5 be enough to cover all those contact points? or i need to buy same pads too?

    Hi,That's how it came out of the HP Box looks like a couple of pads there and compound on others with plastic sitting on top of all.
    I'm waiting to see when i do it whether there's differant height clearances for those pads to be necessary or not - Was planning on using arctic5 also

    my processor is arriving soon. has nobody else done this before? will an arctic silver thermal paste be enough to cover all contact points when reattaching the heat sink?

    artic silver would be fine. There is some better stuff now but you'd have to google it. It should lower temps by as much as 5 degrees over the thermal pads if you apply it correctly

    thanks pasta4u! :) just to be sure, you're not talking in general, right? you're specifically talking about the HP dv6 heatsinks as posted by the original poster 2un@.

    the reason i'm being careful is that i don't want to have removed basically every component from the DV6 before i realize i need some thermal pads too >.<
