do i need to use heat synch grease and if so, which should i use?
1101156
it is actually called thermal paste and arctic silver is the best to get and just one good drop in the middle of the cpu on the back side is all you need. it will spread out when you install the cooling fan and heat sync
1101157
yes i would highly recommend it the best is usually the Arctic silver and its kinda expensive in some places but it works this keeps your cpu much cooler and your fan doesn't have to work so hard to keep it cool i always put the thermal paste on a cpu when i replace the fan most fans brand new come with it.feel free to ask any questions that i can help you with.

Absolutely a must, arctic silver is better than the white kind, but I suppose as long as you have something there to transfer the heat from cpu to heat sink it should be ok

Yes, Bob. The fan assembly I received actually included a tiny packet of "thermal paste". Check-out "http://www.ehow.com/how_6870400_install-775-cpu-fan.html" for a little more help if you need it.

Yes I used heat synch grease. I had a tube of grease already from an older computer repair.

Most probably come with grease but I always pump grease in just to be sure. With most things that have grease fittings, you can't get too much grease. The excess comes out the seal. That's the way you know when it's fully greased.

Just use the same grease that you use in your car. A good brand of wheel bearing grease.

I would try spaying some grease first. If that doesn't last long yes replace.

I have not had any problems with grease clogging. I burn mine full tilt after I cook for about 10 minutes, don't forget it. That should take care of the grease.Don't try to clean it while its hot, scrapes the coating off of the grill.

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT use less than the maximum amount of oil. With the bottom heating elements you need a fair amount of oil over them.

I have the older SS grates and I find it best to clean the grill right after you are done while it is still hot. Using just papertowels soaked in water. It will get most of the caked on mess off. Watch out for the steam or use tongs. After that, anything that doesn't come off can be scrubbed off with a wire brush. The SS grates are pretty tough but I will go for the porcelain coated iron ones as a next upgrade. I think the iron grates will do a better job with retaining heat.As an additional note, I lined the inside reflector with heavy duty aluminum. Sure makes cleaning easier. Watch out for the grease drippings however, too dirty and you can start a fire with the heat.

Hi Salve I. I would not use grease inside your lock. Use graphite powder lubricant instead. You can find it at the hardware store in small tubes.WD-40 is a cleaner - not a lubricant. If particularly stubborn, you might use it. But it should be a last resort.If you can get the lock open, I'd try the graphite first.When the lock is thoroughly soaked after a rain, I close my eyes and blow as hard as I can at/around the dials, lock shackle, and any openings in the lock in an effort to get as much water out as possible. Canned air that they make for cleaning cameras and computers, or a compressor, is even better.After blowing out as much water or whatever out of the lock, then use graphite. Bill B. Hi Salve I.

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash away from the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

No need to add grease. It comes pre greased for life from manufacturer. And it's a great quality shock by the way... I installed it in no time. Good luck.

Shouldn't be a problem it is a grease about the consistency of wheel bearing grease or Vaseline.

Do not use wd40 as it polymerizes. Grease not. Graphited lock fluid is preferable. Jack

The heating function did now work for us using mineral oil - it does not seem to flow well enough. We were hoping to use it to clean the wax off 3D printed parts. So now we use a crock-pot with mineral oil to clean the bulk of the wax and then soapy water in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean off the remaining residue.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and highPressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

No just clean it good after you put it on or your fingerprints and grease marks will stain the metal. Never had any heat problems.
