Okay, here's hoping you knowledgable folks can help me out:
I am about to install a new heatsink/fan on my Athlon machine and was hoping for some tips/tricks/walk-through on how to best do this as I've never done anything more than slap one with a thermal pad on it that came with the processor.
So, I currently have a 900Mhz Athlon Thunderbird with the "standard" cooler master heatsink/fan (w/ thermal pad) that it came with. This is all attached and set up on my motherboard.
I have a GlobalWin FOP32-1 and a tube of Arctic Silver en route.
The question is, once I remove my current heatsink/fan how do I best clean off the processor. Then, what are the proper techniques for applying the Arctic Silver compound and installing the new GlobalWin?
Thanks a bunch.
