So far I haven't seen any thread on the quad core setups so decided to create one!
Was there a sli setup thread before?
Lets see your setups!

Looking for some computer pron I see .
*fap fap fap* yes.does quad CPU also count??
what?! NO! just want to check out other people's setups!

Computer porn means pics of naked computer hardware.
It would have if it had SLI attached to it.

Well I get my quad core in tomorrow and I am pretty excited.. However, I am very interested in how quad core owners are applying their arctic silver 5.. I've seen MANY tutorials on the proper application of AS5 on a Core 2 Duo.. But, the quad core, internally, is obviously different than a C2D (basically 2 C2D's slapped together side by side). So, does that mean instead of one thin line down the center of the chip like the regular C2D's, I am supposed to do 2 thin lines? Do I just do it like the "old school way" by applying a very thin layer basically to the entire top surface of the Quad cores IHS? I have searched HIGH and LOW for someone with a "real" solution for properly applying AS5 to a quad core.. (not just some bubba in a forum saying, "well, you see.. Simply slap this on that, and smush it from side to side, give it a wiggle and blamm-o.. done!"
I'm very interested to see what the quad setup with my (2) 8800gts's are capable of..
A little google-fu tells me this is the proper orientation. Not that it matters.
Spreading the thermal paste out gives more opportunity to create air bubbles and totally wreck the helpful effect of thermal paste. The standard way to apply it is to put a rice-grain-sized blob of paste on each core, then squish it into place with the heatsink. That way the paste is pushed into place with no chance to get air bubbles.If not sure, apply an AS5 layer over the whore surface of the headspreader with a creditcard or something like it. So you are on the save side.
