Typing this on a Topre Realforce 87U... 55g



That's my next KB review, will probably spend a good 3-4 weeks with it first.

First impressions.. this feels like an expensive piece of hardware. And man is it gorgeous

Also 55g is pretty stiff coming from Cherry MX Blues, even though those are 50g

Folks. Something quick but what is the proper method
of reapplying thermal paste to the cpu? Most say not
to spread it around , put a pea size dot in middle, in any case
I think I screwed it up by spreading it thinly with my finger.

Idle temps is 40 while under 60% load when playing
WoW it got to 100 deg Celsius.

To the CPU, just put a blob in the middle and let the heatsink smush it down

If temps are too high, the heatsink is probably not seated properly

I make an X, put small dots in the V's of the X, put the heatsink on, tighten it, remove it then check for gaps.

That's too much. Just use a small bead of it in the middle.

It gives me a very thin layer spread evenly almost every time, I've had to fill in a few small gaps but most of the time it's spot on.

Hey guys, thought I'd post my problem here with my cpu instead of making a thread..Anyways my 1 year old HP computer has been giving me quite a bit of lag when playing games and even loading pages/watching youtube would take a long time to load sometimes.My fans are noticably louder then before so I thought it was because of dust collecting inside the tower. Cleaned it up today and still lags when playing easy games like CS and TF2. What could be the problem?

Specs of computer:
i7-3770@3.40ghz
10 gb ram
2tb hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 620

I'm pretty sure it's not my internet either cause I run CS/TF2 with ease on my mac pro..

I plan to take apart my rig in the next week or so. Cleaning each part and reapplying thermal paste and resetting my bios to default and so on.. sorta like a new build pretty much..

If you know how, maybe you should try that if you have some time...

Run Panda online scan, you don't have to install it and it may find a few things. Also try running something like Spybot S&D to check for spyware.
