When I'm gonna go get my new puter I probably won't have a fancy cooling setup yet, i'll probably will have a amd stock heatsink with a "thermal pad". Will the thing fry when I try to play a game?

Yeah, the stock HS is good, and is what I use.
Take the thermal pad off and put thermal paste though.

Ya but you see I'll probably be using the thermal pad for a while...
how do you even take off the thermal pad?
Ohh noo!!! I make dribbles!!!
It will still be ok with the thermal pad so you can leave it.
But it's better with Arctic silver (a few degrees). You can remove it with your fingernail and then some rubbing alcohol.
scrape it with ur finger nail to get the huge amounts off, and then use rubbing alcohol or lighter fluid (lighter fluid works really good) to remove the little amounts that are left.Originally posted by Keikan@18 March 2004 - 22:03

it is a lot easier to remove the thermal pad before it has been used becuase it will after be sticky and also has to be removed from the processor.
