Heatsink question

Razgriz · Nov 3, 2008, 09:13 PM

recently picked up a processor for my younger brother and had a question about the heatsink before i go and go through that whole process. There are 4 metal screws that are holding a square copper plate to the bottom of the heatsink that sit flush with the surface of said copper plate. I was wondering if they were going to cause issues with heat/current/shortage as they will be coming in contact with the processor itself.

Not sure what you mean dude could you post a picture as they say its worth a thousand words!

But if its the stock heat sink that came with the processor there usually are no problems, unless its faulty!

No worries bud, solved the problem by having to buy a new heatsink and fan anyway, mine was too small to fit the am2 socket :-\ .
