Hey guys,
gotta problem here - just bought a AMD 2500 barton core and a volcano 9. When i tried to put the massive volcano on my CPU it took a lot of pressure on the clip, but i figured they just didnt want it moving around since it is rather large. so i pressed...and finally attached it. it ran for like 2 seconds then gibbed. the cpu was fried, woohoo... *cough* so, i think i may have smashed the cpu core - i found a website that mentions these copper shims that help protect the chip from being smashed, but the only ones i can find say "not for barton chips" etc. =\ What do you guys recommend i do so that i dont smash the crap out of my next cpu?
Thanks for your help =)
