Im just giving a general shout out to all the amd guys. PLEASE be carfull when putting on you heatsink. I just got this new job as a computer tech. The place where I work sells oem stuff and we also repair/upgrade. I personaly get at least 3 people per day on average that have hosed their amd chips because they didnt put the heatsink on right.
Step one Heat sink grease goes on the die (center part) of the cpu not the pads.
Step 2 put heat sink greas on the heatsink too.
Place the heatsink on the cpu flat then attach each side DO NOT put on hook on the tab then push the heat sink down flat.
I know this is probably not the place to post this but I see these people every day that think they know what they are doing and they have no clue. They buy all this expensive equipment and still refuse to read the instructions. Then they expect us to refund their money for their incompetence. If you dont know what your doing pay somone else to do it for you.
/end of general rant
