How critical is the silver pasted between CPU & Heatsink?

One more newbie question for today:
During my first build I had no-post problems initially.  The D-Link card was lit up all 4 red.  I removed & re-installed the cpu & cooler 3 times trying to absolutely eliminate the "cpu not installed correctly" possibility.  I had read prior to removing the cpu that it was important to clean off the old paste and apply new paste, so -- since I am on a very tight budget and don't have any of that paste on-hand, I was very careful not to disturb the paste during the three removals/re-installations.  So my questions are:
1)  Is it absolutely critical to replace that silver paste?
2)  What would happen if I didn't?
And the reason I ask is, I've been monitoring the temp of my CPU and so far it has never risen above 28 C (82 F).  Of course I haven't pushed it hard yet... but I don't think my mom-in-law is going to be doing anything more that checking her e-mail and watching an occaisional DVD movie.
Do I need to go get some of that paste?  I'm very hesitant to pop the case again, since everything is working and knowing my luck, I'd fry something.
Thanks
Blaine

28°C is absolutely fine .
Run som cpu stressing like 15-20 minutes and check how much it rises .
You can use several progs for cpu stress(100% loading) , prime95 is the one most used .
( can be downloaded here :  http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm  )
Or you may use e.g superpi and select the longest run 32M .
http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/super_pi_mod-1.5.zip
That will give an indication if it's acceptable as aicjofs says .
If cpu is below , say 45-46 °C during a longer 100% load it's fine and you shouldnt worry .
If it pass 50°C I would look at reapplying with quality TIM stuff like artic silver products .

  • How to sever the update connection between my 2 iPhones?

    I have an iPhone 4 and and 2 iPhone 5's that I use together.  they have an auto update function that when I add a contact or note in one phone, it automatically updates the other 2 phones.  I want to know how to sever the update function between phones.  anyone know how to do?

    I suspect the reason your devices are still syncing contacts is that they are syncing them with another service such as Google, Yahoo or and exchange account rather than iCloud.  Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and tap each of your accounts to see if you have contacts syncing turned on.  If you do, you'll have to turn that off in order to stop syncing them across your devices.
    If only some of your notes are syncing across your devices, it's probably because not all of them belong to the iCloud account (iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account).  If you want them all to sync with iCloud, you'll have to open the Notes app, tap Accounts, then open the notes in your non-iCloud accounts and copy and paste the text into new notes created in the iCloud account.
    To have your photos sync between your phones, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and make sure My Photo Stream is turned on.  After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be added to your photo stream whenever the Camera app is closed, your photo is connected to wifi, and has at least 20% battery life remaining.  You can access these photos in the My Photo Stream album within the Photos app.
    To determine if you're backing up to iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup to see if iCloud Backup is turned on.
    If you delete your iCloud account from your phone and want to keep your date, begin by saving any photo stream photos to your camera roll and emailing any notes that you are syncing with iCloud to yourself.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.
    If you create a new account on one of your phones you can sync the data in the new account with your other phones in the future by simply signing into the same account on your other phones in Settings>iCloud.  When you do, the iCloud data in the new account will download to them as well.

    you could try something similar to this, for each table pair that you want to compare:
    SELECT 'TABLE_A has these columns that are not in TABLE_B', DIFF.*
      FROM (
            SELECT  COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
              FROM all_tab_columns
             WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
             MINUS

    Hi,
    Create a table layout region and under that use 'messageStyledText' for displaying the prompt and use 'messageTextInput' for text field without giving any prompt to that.

  • How to calculate the hour difference between two dates?

    hi all,
    how to calculate the hour difference between two dates?
    eg i trying this...
    ((TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(GRNi.reference_date_4,'hh24:mi'),'hh24:mi') -

    Reg.

    Hi
    To break the diff between 2 dates into days, hours, minutes, sec -- you can use the following:
    select to_char( created, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ),
    trunc( sysdate-created ) "Dy",
    trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24, 24 ) ) "Hr",
    trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24*60, 60 ) ) "Mi",
    trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24*60*60, 60 ) ) "Sec",
    to_char( sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ),
    sysdate-created "Tdy",
    (sysdate-created)*24 "Thr",

  • How to calculate the month difference between two date char. in Query?

    Customers would like to see how many months passed between two date type of characteristics (e.g., the month difference between the current date and the scheduled delivery date in the record) and put the result into the column as KF. 
    We would have to grab the fiscal year/period kind of value and then do the subtraction, e.g., if the current date value is 2/28/2008 and the scheduled delivery date value in the record is 12/01/2007, the correct result should be 2 month difference between these two date values, but could someone here give us the technical light on how to make this happen in query design?
    Thanks and we will give you reward points for the correct anwsers!

    Hi Kevin,
    The Badi is RSR_OLAP_BADI.
    You can create an implementation using Transaction  SE18.
    The implementation is per cube and is defined in the filters.
    In the Implementation you have the following methods :
    1. Define : Here you will provide the Keyfigure you need as a virtual one.
    2. Initilialize : Any Init Function you want to do.
    3. Compute. This is called per datarecord and here you can cimpute your value.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to hide the grid lines between two rows in a ALv? Please help!

    Hi Experts,
             I have a ABAP ALV(reuse alv grid FM) report.
    The last field in the ALV is "Description" which can contain data of size more than 130 chars.
    Since the max field length in ALV grid is 130 chars hence I am splitting this field value whenever the field length is more than 130 chars.
    After splitting I am generating duplicate rows but with different "Description" field values ( each contains the splitted values".
    For example:
    Name| City | Description                             |
    Hari|HK    |Employee responsible for time management |
    Hari|HK    |and issue resolution                     |
    Now I want to hide the grid line between these two rows
    and just for Description field.
    In other words I want ALV to display like this:
    Name| City | Description                             |
    Hari|HK    |Employee responsible for time management |
    Hari|HK    |and issue resolution                     |
    How can I acheive this?
    Please provide some sample code.
    Please help. I will be really greatfull to your help.
    Thanks

    Hi Rich,
          If that is the case then atleast how can I hide the complete row grid line?

  • [How-to] Find the middle point between sides of two distant objects.

    [In reference to my attachment]
    I would like to find the middle point between object A's right-most segment (in green) and object B's left-most segment (in blue), quickly, effectively and reliably.
    Ideally, there's a function i'm not familiar with that exists . I would rather not resort to having to create more objects to "figure out" the middle point manually, so-to speak.

    Dandreu,
    In a more general case than assumed in the first post, if you wish to have an actual key point, you may:
    1) Direct Select each of the path segments in question and Ctrl/Cmd+C+F+X+F,
    2) Select either and rotate it by 180 degrees,
    3) Object>Blend>Blend Options, with 1 Step, then Object>Blend>Make, then Object>Blend>Expand,
    4) Select the line in the middle and Object>Path>Add Anchor Point.
    You may also do a similar way where you add an Anchor Point at the middle of the segments and ClickDrag with the Line Segment Tool between them, but that is a bit destructive.
