AMD 939 IHS chips on the sides

[Sinister]

guys just purchased a 939 cpu from the bay the cpu has small chips on the side of the IHS

has anyone had a cpu like that before is it ok to install

 

[gunner]

Nope... I guess you'll have to suck it and see. Hope it doesn't go boom..

your worried about a chip in the ihs? guess you must be new to cpus.

It;ll probably be fine, the actualy die of the CPU is much much smaller contained underneath the middle of the IHS, the die is what? bit smaller than a 1st clas stamp in size?

That wasn't very helpful was it?

As for the small chips, the cpu should be fine.

It is really very common to have those on the edges, dunno where it comes from, installing the heatsinks I suppose, nothing to worry about

Aye, just comes from useage. The core is well protected.

I dented the edges slightly on the IHS fitting the Ninja, right SOB (need to push down and clip in 4 clips at the same time, otherwise it slants up.

LOL.

When i install my ninja, i put two clips on the one side.


Then i pull upwards on it , to make it center with the cpu, then attach the other side clips.


Its easy
