I recently bought a new mobo and want to switch my components over to it. The problem is my heatsink won't fit on the new mobo. There are diodes or whatever beside the cpu socket that won't allow it to sit on the cpu. The cpu is old, a celeron 1.3Ghz, and I don't use the computer for anything really intensive or anything. My question is do I really need the heatsink or can I get by without it.
I know this is probably a stupid question but I have never gotten into anything like this before and would appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
