I'm doing some upgrades and I just bought a naked (IHS removed) Opteron 165. I also bought an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro to cool it.
I'm worried that I could damage the core, so do any of you have any tips for the installation of the heatsink ontop of it?
I've never had an IHS-less CPU before, so any advice is welcome. For example, I'm pretty sure that when I apply the AS5 onto the CPU I will use say a credit card to spread it out evenly and thinly onto the core, instead of just a little dab onto the IHS like before, right?
Thanks
