They have opted for an aftermarket CPU cooler to handle the additional heat. When installing the cooler, they notice that it comes with pre-applied thermal paste. What should the technician do to ensure optimal thermal conductivity between the CPU and the heat sink?
Let the pre-applied paste dry for a few hours to improve its heat conductivity before installing the heat sink.
Proceed with installing the heat sink as the pre-applied thermal paste is designed to provide optimal thermal contact.
Add another layer of thermal paste on top of the pre-applied paste to increase the effectiveness of heat conductivity.
Remove the pre-applied paste and apply a fresh layer to ensure maximum freshness and performance.
