I'm replacing my Palomino with a Barton CPU; the chip itself on the
Palomino is square, while the Barton is rectangular. I believe my current fan came with the Palomino CPU, so it has a square pad underneath. Will the fan work for the Barton too, or am I better off buying a new fan? - Zilla |

You must remove the old pad, then if the heatsink will cover the cpu
properly you're ok. You can use a thin coating of thermal grease after getting everything real clean with 99% isopropyl alcohol. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org |

TR2-M3 for about $8 will be a lot better and a lot quieter. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Using these drops CPU temp over 10°C on the three machines I've fitted them to. Just a shame that, in New Zealand, they're nowhere near as cheap as they are in the US. -- Shaun. |

A Socket A heatsink will work with the Barton. Use 99% isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, and possibly the edge of a credit card to remove the old phase change compound. Apply a very thin layer of paste to the new die, the raised part only. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm |

Not very often, though. -- Ed Light Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
