Cookieman123 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Got it, thanks for the help. Â About the lapping, how much soap are you supposed to use, we tried doing that on my friends heat sink and it didnt work to well, could that have been because we used tons of soap? Â My friend also suggested that i upgrade to this... any opinions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 I"d suggest teh sp-94 more, because that type of heatsink puts a lot of strain on the motherboard due the the fact that it has a high center of gravity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
