Well I am still an AMD fan but have had Intel since like the 286 chip or whatever. I dont want any AMD vs INTEL debates here, I just want answers, lol.
Ok well I am building a computer for a client and this is the parts I ordered for them from NewEgg and they arrive any moment since I overnighed them.
- SOYO P4I 845PE LITE
- ASUS 32MB MX400
- P4 2.4BGHz 533FSB 478PIN/512K
- GEIL 256MB PC-2700
- HD 40GB|SEAGATE
- LITE-ON 52x24x52
- Sony 16x
Other Parts
- 400W ICute PSU from Xoxide w/ LED fans (special for me only )
- Case from CompUSA - Client Picked it up
- Misc fans
- Speeze P4 Heatsink (says EE415C5 LeopardClaw on box)
- Rounded Cables and so on
So my question is is there anything I should know when building the system? I havent build any P4 systems, it looks a snap but I dont want to damages something and have to pay for a replacement out of my pocket... Main question has to do with the CPU and heatsink mounting, rest I know since I build comps all the time. Thanks.
EDIT: Also how much thermal paste do I put on?
