Hey all,
I just bought all my components for a new PC build. Im building an AMD
system with the 3500+ and A8VE-Deluxe mobo.
I had a question about installing the heat sink on the AMD chip. I
have the retail Processor in a Box set, which comes with the
heatsink/fan. What Im wondering is whether I need thermal paste.
There seems to be a thermal pad on the heat sink, but the information
in the supplied booklet and the website is conflicting.
So, my question is, do I actually need to apply thermal paste for the
retail AMD64 heatsink/fan? Or is the 'pad' stuck there a good enough
thermal interface?
(This is my first build, so Im a bit wary).
Thanks,
Sumedh.
