Hello. I just bought a new motherboard, the a7v333, and i was wondering, since i have fried 2 cpus before (all flukeishly covered by warantee Wink wink) thank god!
Well, i am kinda scared of touching CPUS now since it happened.
So, can someone or some people please explain to me how to put the CPU in properly before i mess something up?
I know how to do everything else, just the CPU pops a few questions in my head.
Like: Do i need to remove the existing thermal paste off the dye before adding more when i replace the HSF? Do i even need to add more or can i just leave what was on there before and just put it in the new Mobo and strap on the HSF?
Thanks !
