I haven't gotten my processor yet. I haven't even ordered it yet. I'm just making sure I know exactly what i'm getting into before I do it.
I've seen pictures of AMD processors and Intel processors.
The Intel processors have a die that sticks out, and the rest of it is smoothe. It seems like all of the instructions for applying arctic silver 2 is for intel processors, because they say put the stuff onto the die of the processor only.
But AMD processors look like they have other small bumps (chips) on the top. Also, it looks like that there's 4 black circles, one on each corner.
I guess since I haven't seen a 3d-model of the processor, I'm a little concerned about how I would go about applying the arctic silver 2 and attaching the heatsink. Can someone please help me put a rest to my concerns?
