I just got bought a brand new taisol heatsink for my athlon, it came without the plastic film that should have been covering the thermal compund. The thermal compund on the heatsink got some dust on it =(. What can i do??? Please help?!
Send it back. If you cant wait use something to take the sticky pad off such as alchoul(sp) or acetone and then get some high quality hs compound but I for one believe that the pad is better and I also used to work for AMD
take the pad off and put some artic silver II...your HSF performence will increase. Make sure you try to take off as much of the thermal pad as possible...you can use a razor blade but be careful as to not put any scratches on the bottom of the heatsink.
