2002 Socket A CPU HSF installation video

Digging through my old stuff, I found this old video from a "how-to build your own PC" guide I was working on at the time.

I think this was the first video I did because we had a lot of customer installing their heatsinks 180 degrees backwards and burning up their CPU's.

what about a paste? You don't must put a past on processor?

Note the pink square on the bottom of the heatsink. That's thermal interface material. If that square of TIM wasn't there, then yes, I would use "paste".
