i bought a heatsink, and it has some type of thermal compound on it. I would like to remove it and place some artic silver II on the heatsink. Does anyone know how to get the factory compound off?
second, i just bought an athlon 1.2/266 and when i plugged everything together and turned on, it read "Athlon 900Mhz"
what are possible causes for this?
the chip says 1200 on it, but if i only have a 250w powersupply running too many things (3 hdds, zip, cdrw, dvd, livedriveIR + 512 mb 2100 ddr?), could that cause the cpu to run at a lower speed?
thanks for the help
