Hey Guys,
Well I have not really Put any Heat Sinks on CPU's before...And I just got an AMD 500 K6-2 off Ebay for an Old system I have, which will be used as a server soon. But It Came with no Heat sink, So I found one at a local shop and popped it in last night, but when it gets fully booted the system shuts down, if I reboot and check in the Bios the CPU temp seems to be quite abit higher than the 350 ever was (about 8-10* C), and the temp keeps Climbing. The heat sink is pretty big and the Fan is working, so the only thing I can think of is that the heat is not transferring very well. (If I touch the Heat sink its Cold to the touch) Is it very important for Heat transfer to have thermal Paste between CPU and Heat sink?
Thats the only thing I can think of...does anyone have any other Ideas??
