Installing A New Cpu Chip.

I would side with him, but thermal padds simply don't transfer heat very well... All in all i hate them, a paste is the best solution with cooling performance in mind...

Dont Transfer Heat Very Well Ehh? Must not get around to use much Akasa ShinEtsu TiM's.

If im not mistaken they were debating TIM's against AS3 and 5 in there, very informative topic.

lol neither can i

btw a good thing to have when installing an AMD chip is an unlocker (altho i have no clue how to install them or where 2 get them from, alot of my friends told me that they beat the pencil trick)

the unlocker is a simple little tab that (i believe) covers a few of the pins on the AMD chip (correct me if im wrong: im not an AMD expert) this basically allows a user to overclock their chip to much higher theoretical levels (lol im sounding like a friggin geek)

since installing a processor seems like such a new concept to you, i suggest that if you want to overclock (dont: you need a decent amount of experience with all the technicalities of the PC [fsb clocks, voltage control, etc.])get one of these tabs. Google is your friend

Main prob here is thermal paste and AMD dont go, unless you no how to apply the stuff.
If you look at AMD site they recommend the thermal pad, simply because if you get that paste on the back of the CPU board it give&#39;s all sort&#39;s of problems
IE overheating , no boot , BOS and so on, i have been there (chucked XP 2000 in bin after new heatsink fitted no more work until next day mate told me this
clean of thermal grease brussel sprouts and cabbage from bin rescue) and it&#39;s still running perfect today in another PC.
you have not done this before i would recommend you follow the fitting instuctions from this thread but use a pad or if u insist on paste spread with your credit card nice and thin and hope you dont have to use it again.

Good luck

Just make the smallest dab in the center on the cpu.You only need the smallest amount,just enough to say theres some there.Putting more on than that is wasting it.

Lol. I&#39;m glad there are things like this, for rookies (well I&#39;m sick of using n0obs) to learn how to do this
