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.

  • no paste?

  • @RiKKuXd28: You didn't see the thermal pad on the heatsink? You don't use a thermal pad AND thermal paste. The combination just makes a big mess once the pad melts.

  • I remember the days of socket A. I only just this year disposed of mine, well, donated to a friend in which he replaced with a barton core Athlon 3300+.

    Easily my fondest memories of computing.

  • lol it looks like 2000nm

  • @Noel127 I don't always, but it works out either way, you just have to avoid getting static in the first place! You can handle many electronics with not much harm, or I would have had problems a lot more frequently. I think it's over-stressed, however, I've mounted systems without thermal paste as well, it really depends if the old paste is working or not, judge temps by touch or by software

  • If it's a Sony Vaio with a desktop P4, WORRY BIG TIME about cooling, my mobo is apparently Fried. Oh, and when I picked up two Gateways using these mobos, it uses a Mobile CPU on a larger base for desktops, Very odd looking!

  • By the looks of it, it's a DDR motherboard

  • @jonnyGURU did not know..thanks :)

  • Lol just last year my desktop had a socket a 2600 but not anymore now it has an AM2+ 9600 phenom

  • Ground your self is the first thing to do when handling a CPU or any mother board related work!
