No thermal paste, and a older model heatsink

I have a six core 1090T AMd processor that i no longer have the stock heat sink for. BUT, i have the heatsink for a dual core athelon.

it does have a copper faceplate on the bottom. but i also don't have any thermal paste on me right now.

 

so, should i try it?

 

also, testing polls for the first time.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

No thermal paste? It's not even an old processor. Don't do it.

I have a X4-9550 doing that except using the its heatsink) gets to a max of 40c but no load testing though

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Yes u should try it, but it will probably overheat

I had swapped the cooler on my girlfriends computer and misplaced my thermal paste, so I just went as is and no heat problems on minor load. Its an older dual core and the hardest times it has seen is playing wizard 101, should be fine for basic tasks
