alucke Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 I do the exact same thing when applying thermal paste. But i dont feel like messin with the Mobo, in order to get a screwdown heatsink/fan to fit. A professional computer builder friend of mine said that it doesnt make a difference whether you use a clamp on heatsink or screw-on heatsink.

alucke Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Apparently you can mod your heatsink/fan and mobo, so you can screw down your heatsink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also still use them, some coolers are to big or heavy, then you will be better of to screw them on your mobo. But if you have to MOD it then leave it.
