My friend has a problem and he doesnt want to make an account, maybe he will later but could you guys possibly help him.
Here's his situation ....
" I have a socket 939 amd athlon 64 processor. I inserted it, put the thermal paste on it, put the heatsink on it, a couple days later i took the heatsink off, to put more thermal paste on, but the processor came out on the heatsink, i bent a couple pins but i placed them back into the correct position, and inserted it back into the mobo, then i applied more thermal paste. Should I take it out, clean it off and reapply the correct amount of paste this time?, or just let it go. I used the entire tube of paste. I got alot of thermal paste in the heatsink's valleys. should i just buy a new heatsink ?"
Thanks guys !
