Re: Offset heat sinks

Go to your local Fry's store or equivalent. Look at the processors

Then go to the nearby heat sinks and note the offset heat conducting
material for contacting the die. If the heat sink is rotated 180
degrees the heat conducting material will not mate with the die.

The location looks something like this:

Blow-It-Out-Your-Wazoo-Dan - re: "It may be possible to screw up a P4 by mounting a heat sink 180 degrees off, but you can't affect an Athlon that way - the middle is still the middle, even if you rotate it."

You have confirmed that you IGNORE FACTS and have never even looked at an HSF assembly for a socketed AthWiper or a Pentium 4.

You are ABSOLUTELY WRONG and you remain a COMPLETE LIAR.
