When installing HSF's, its always a good idea to scrape off the thermal pad that is on the unit. Then clean it with a little rubbing alcohol, and acquire some good thermal paste, like Arctic Silver 2 (its cheap too). This allows for optimal heat transfer between the heatsink and the cpu as the standard thermal pads perform quite below what most people consider "good". Hope this helps ya a bit. ----------------------------------------------- Kyle "DJ KB" Baumann (( www.mp3.com/djkb )) --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
