From where do I get the CPU heat sink Paste?
603326
most thermal compounds can be found at any computer retailer for under 10 dollars i see someone reccomended buying it off ebay i find that highly unpractical as the most expensive paste is under 17 dollars us i reccomedn arctic silver a lil bit goes a long way and i have had no problems with it what so ever you may check out sites like www.zipzoomfly.com www.newegg.com www.tigerdirect.com

On a lot of processors of that era, a heatsink should be fine. You can certainly strap a fan on it. I'd monitor temperature with a free temperature monitoring program, if your motherboard and processor support that. Being that it's an older Gateway, it's quite possible that it doesn't have the proper sensors for this.\n\nDon't quote me on this, but I don't believe that processors began to be super heat demons until the last 3-4 years. For instance, I inadvertantly used to run my Pentium-100 without fan OR heatsink for over a year. I simply didn't know about those technologies when I got my first Pentium-based computer.

Yes, it sounds weird, but I swear, a Chemistry friend of mine did it. And it worked. Basically, put some rubbing alcohol in a container, put it on top of your CPU and have a fan blow on the rubbing alcohol. Since it has a lower freezing point than water, it should help to cool it down further.\n\nBut, seriously, what are you doing to it? Because it takes a lot of effort to get it that hot, especially it being what it is. Does the room you have it in above 80degrees F? That might be an issue. Did you build your PC? Sometimes they may have overclocked it for you and you don't even know it.\n\nHope you find a solution. I seem to be stumped. Sorry, good luck.\n\nATTENTION: Addition, please read\n\nReceived your inquiry but I can't seem to reply back. It says that your e-mail address has yet to be confirmed. Hope this gets to you.\n\nIn answer, when they say that your processor speed is say 2.2Ghz, that is not your maximum running speed but your optimum. It is not good to run it faster than optimum as that could cause increased wear and tear. You can however tweak it to run faster.\n\nOne way to find out is to take the name of the processor and check it directly with the manufacturer to find out what the speed is. As I don't have any of your specs, that is all I can say.\n\nPS: Have you talked to the Tech Support about this? I think you should if you haven't.\nPPS: Silly question, but have you checked to see if there is enough coolant or water in there?

Fan Controller, Temperature Gauges, Floppy, Card Reader, Hard Drive if you can get it to fit..thats where I have mine so the water cooling pump had more room..Or just save a spot for all of your wires to hide.\n\nNewegg.com\nTigerDirect.com\nXoxide.com\nPcToys.com

heat is a big issue.  when the inside of your computer case is dirty the cooling system can't do its job properly. either take it to a reputable shop and have them clean it or go buy a can of compressed air, open the case and blow all the dust out of it taking care to get it all out of the louvres under the cpu fan. DO NOT use a vacuum! it creates a static electricity charge that can corrupt the components on your mother board. a static charge weaker than you can feel can and will destroy components.\nhope this helps

Before installing the water block, you will need to have the following parts to complete the installation.\n\n1) A Radiator suitable for computer water cooling.\n\n2) Fans for the Radiator.\n\n3) A Water Pump (aquarium or pond pump with a recommended minimum flow of 1.5 L/min at 1.5m head).\n\n4) A Reservoir (this is not essential if a closed system is being used. However, the user will require a T piece and length of pipe at the highest point in the system to purge air.).\n\n6) Six (6) Hose Clamps (nine (9) if using a closed system).\n\n7) Two (2) metres of Hose (3/8 or 1/2" internal diameter pipe depending on barb size).\n\n8) CPU Thermal Compound.\n\n\nStep 1 - Attaching Hose to Water Block\n\nAttach 2 x 1m lengths of hose (this will vary depending on the system) to each barb on the water block. Attach hose clamps and tighten (see Figure 1).\nFigure 1\nStep 2 - Testing Water Block for Leaks\n\nConnect one end of either water block hose to house tap. Purge all air from hoses and water block. Place thumb on open hose end to pressurise block. Check for water leaks around cooling block and hose connections. If hose connections leak, retighten hose clamps. If block leaks, return to place of purchase.\n\nStep 3 - Mounting Water Block to CPU\n\nPlace each triangle headed bolt through aluminium bracket holes. Place a spring over each thread and add washer and nut (screw nut down until level with top of thread - see Figure 2). Place small amount of thermal compound onto CPU (as per manufacturer's recommendations). Place water block onto CPU, ensuring that the CPU is in the centre of the cooling block and is not sitting on the CPU socket(inexperienced users should use a CPU shim to assist in installation). Place aluminium bracket over cooling block centre and connect the triangle headed bolts to the centre lug on each side of the processor socket (see Figure 3). Tighten nuts evenly (approximately 2mm at a time, alternating form one nut to the other) until springs are fully compressed. Check that there is clearance between the motherboard and triangle head.\n\nStep 4 - Completing Cooling System\n\nConnect the centre hose from the cooling block to the discharge of the pump. Connect the other water block hose to the radiator water intake. Connect radiator discharge and pump suction to reservoir, ensuring that the water level always remains higher than pump suction. For an inline system connect radiator water discharge to pump suction and install a T piece at the highest point within the system. Continue to add water at this point until all air is purged from the system. Once air is purged from the closed system, plug the T piece with an end cap.

I have been building computers for several years now, and as far as I know nobody offers this package of items.\n\nIn fact at school when they taught us about installing motherboards they told us to save all extra parts, especially the stand-offs and spacers and that the Jumpers were like gold, to always keep the extras for when a computer component like a hard-drive needed another one.\n\nTo solve you problem, check with local computer repair places like BestBuy and CompUSA, they have drawers full of these items, and I get jumpers from them when I need them and they barrow what I have that they need at the time.

reboot your machine, and enter the bios menu when it is rebooting. you should be able to see your CPU temperature as one of the BIOS optiions.\n\nIf that is hard for you, then you may consider installing software that does it for you. PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows you to do this -- it will also stress test your CPU.

Look around on your mainboard's installation cd if your computer came with one, or go to the site for your mainboard.  They often have a utility for monitoring your cpu and case fan speeds, given in a choice of F or C.\n\nBut be aware that devices that you want to monitor for temps must have some kind of hardware attached to them that does the measuring - main boards come with this for cpu and one or more of the fans, but not for the other things you mention.

1.check your power cord for the computer\n2.try plugging it into a different electric plugin place\n3.make sure the power supply fan is running on back of the CPU tower
