InsaneDruid 0 Posted March 2, 2007 I would NOT recommend it, as it MAY work with certain cpu/speed/cooler combinations, the risk of overheating and/or killing the cpu is quite high. Just use some cheap silicon paste or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Don't try it! Rather wait for the paste. Without the paste you can easly damage the CPU. Just wait for the paste, unless you have too much money and can afford another CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo1 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Definitely not, without the paste theres almost no contact between the CPU and the heatsink. It would heat up to dangerous levels really quickly. Best if you wait for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
