Ok so i bought an amd athlon 64 3500+ 2 months ago and didn't use thermal compound cause it allready had it on the bottom of the fan.
My motherboard fried and I am getting a new one so would i have to use thermal compound this time?
I didn't touch the thermal compound thats on the fan or cpu so i don't think i do but i just want to make sure.
Another question:
if the processor smells bad that is the only way to tell its fried right?
So if my processor smells fine it is fine right?
