He's totally right about that. If you do not have enough thermal compound, heat will not transfer from the CPU to the copper or aluminum of the heatsink.
is it possible to determine if it has enough purely from a visual examination? As the ppl where i got my comp are idiots they even forgot to install the drivers on my comp, which i think 1400 bucks should cover

Well id definately check the thermal paste too......a store that puts a computer together and doesnt install any drivers needs a smack upside the head so who knows what else they were slack-ass with.
yeh definetely
ill go have a check, if it does need need thermal paste how much does it cost and where can i get it from? Actually i might take it back and MAKE THEM do it
