I have just bought a new Celeron processor for my computer. The instructions consist of a few pictograms showing how to fit the fansink unit - no mention of heatsink paste between the processor and fansink.
Can I fit the fansink to the processor 'dry' or should I obtain some heatsink paste to put between the processor and fansink? There is a square piece of black foil on the fansink where it would make contact with the processor. Perhaps this is all that is required?
I would appreciate some advice from any knowledgeable specialists on this subject.
