Re-gooping my T42p - results + pics

#1 Post by Mr. Cloud » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:39 am

(All temps measured with tpfancontrol 0.18)
Goop used was Arctic Silver 5
Load temps were measured by running Orthos with small FFTs for 15 minutes.
Idle temps were measured by stopping Orthos after taking load temp and taking the lowest temperature reached.

Before re-goop:
Load: 71C
Idle: 47C

After re-goop:
Load 71C
Idle 42C

Goop has been applied to CPU, and also rubbed into the contact area on the heatsink (notice slight discoloration)
