AMD heat sink paste = glue? [****s me to tears]
"Anne Onime" wrote in message ... I am involved in recycling PCs for charity. Many times I have come across an Athlon (and also with the K6 a while back) that was stuck to the heat sink. Since the heat sink covers the ZIF lever, you can't remove the heat sink unless you pull hard, and the CPU comes out too (with bent pins). I never had this problem with Intels. The heat sinks peel off easily. And the few Cyrix/VIAs that I stumbled across did not even have paste or thermal tape between the CPU and heat sink! Does Cyrix even make CPU's now. Haven't seen one available for a PC in years. |
