Re: amd problem
Go to Radio Shack and get a tube of silicone heatsink compound. It is in
the section where they sell IC's and mounting hardware. Remove the fan
from the heatsink and smear a tiny bit on the heatskink where it contacts
the CPU. (This stuff is difficult to clean up so BE CAREFUL with it),
then put the fan back on the CPU. THis aids heat transfer between chip
and fan and will help the CPU run much cooler (though the fan may FEEL
warmer as it is now transferring more heat away from the CPU).
