Hello,
I've recently bought a new processor for my computer, duly ripping out the old one in the process. The only problem is the only thing between the CPU and the heatsink at the moment is a nice layer of air, which doesn't have the ability to directly transfer heat from one medium to another, so my PC remains out of action for now. I'd use the stuff off of my old CPU, but it seems to be a bit old and caked on.
Short of stumping up for a syringe of stuff from an online shop (Which'll take a while to arrive), is there a quick fix for shunting the heat from the CPU to the heatsink, or should I just put my mouth over the CPU and breathe in continuously?
