AMD Heatsink Installation

[l1vefordaweekend]

My Intel heatsink has these horrible little plastic clips and they snap really easily, this looks a lot less fragile. Nice one.

[WatchMeWrite]

Thank you much =)))

[TheBadbowman]

But my computer randomly turns off, because the heat sink supposedly "moves", but I do not know how to keep the heatsink still. Note : I do not have certain pieces. Please explain to me how to keep the heatsink still.

[TheBadbowman]

Thank you.

Why did his finger touch the thermal pad? Isn't that a NO, NO?? Oil & dirt contamination? LOL

[ClintonGOL]

@theboxer5 u clean it :L

[GT5Enthusiast]

@theboxer5 yes it is. if you never wash your hands.

the screwdriver thing was a scary sh*t!!

[BDKsoft]

I remember these heatsinks .. Holy crud they were crap.. If your screwdriver loses it grip, it flies straight into the motherboard. Thank god they changed it.

[radioman970]

@BDKsoft Yeah, but they are worse in other ways. I had a hard time getting mine attached. You have to apply a scary amount of pressure.

I had a lot of trouble getting my Phemon II stock heatsink onto my Gigabit mother board. One thing that helped me was loosening the screws on one side of the plastic socket. Then re-tightening them after it was on.

@scatpornpooboy Thanks this helped me out a ton!

[InternetOccultist]

What was this made in the 80s? Fuck...

[BlGGlE]

If my CPU fan is making too much noise and I wanna get a new one, do I have to install a new heatsink too? Or can I keep the one I already have?

[victordeleon1962]
