heatsink pad

Being the curious type, I looked at the bottom of my cpu heatsink. The piece of cellophane that usually is supposed to be REMOVED before the aluminum heatsink is placed on top of the cpu was still there. That was not right.

I removed the heatsink pad, and used the tried and true method of polishing and putting a thin film of Arctic Silver heatsink compound on it.

This is a standard process for all my AMD chips.
