Do I need to put thermal paste when I open up into the motherboard?
I own an iMac G4 700MHZ that I opened up recently, and I was wondering if I need to reapply the thermal paste. I noticed a weird heatsink or heat tubeing that consists of metal rods, and I saw a spot that has thermal paste on it, so I am wondering if the weird custom heatsink needs new thermal paste. If it does, which is what I am assuming, then what would be the best brand that is affordable (none of these $20 tubes, stay on the lines of $5-10) for my iMac G4. Thanks.
iMac (Flat Panel), Mac OS X (10.4.11)
