Lo' everyone. this is my first post. im so proud of myself.
Anyway, Recently I installed a new Copper heatsink onto my Processer (a Amd thunderbird 1.33ghz, not overclocked because im a lamo
) because the fan on my other one died. The temperature of my CPU averages out around 48C. Out of my curiosity, I somehow ended up opening up my case and touching my heatsinc, and it was not warm at all.
Now, when I had my old aluminum heatsinc, it would get quite hot. there is an incredibly noticable diffrence in the temperatures of the heatsink.
Could my Heatsink be installed impropperly? (I had a close friend by the alias of "GlitchOfDoom" do it for me.) or is it just the properties of the metal that cause this?
Man im such a noob!
