Ok, I need some help. I am ordering some thermal compound and a new
northbridge chipset cooler. I am probably going with Arctic
Ceramique and the Zalman Chipset cooler. But what is a shim and how
is it used?
I have this advertised on anumber of sites. I have an Athlon XP 1700
and a Coolermaster Aero 7+. Do I need a shim? How would I use it?

You don't need a shim, you need only to be careful.

Thanks Steve. I will not be buying a shim, and I WILL BE CAREFUL!!!!!


You're very welcome. A shim would of course only be used on a CPU
heatsink anyway, not a chipset heatsink.

Well, you're right about that.
Because it runs counter to the way we read!
Why do you hate top posting so much?
