About two years ago, I posted a video showing how to apply thermal compound to a CPU. It's now my most viewed video, but I have since determined that there are better ways to apply thermal compound to a CPU. If you are curious, you can view the original tutorial here: • How to Apply Thermal Compound to a CPU .
In this updated tutorial, I show you the best way to apply thermal compound to a CPU. I also include instructions on how to remove existing thermal compound from a heatsink.
