Sorry for being a newbie, but I just received my Duron 650 OEM part. I am not totally sure how to put a heatsink on it. My experience has been with older socket-7 AMD chips, where the heatsink would touch the whole surface of the chip. But on the Duron, only the center part sticks out, and there are rubber pads on the corners. So my question is, is the heatsink only supposed to come in contact with the little rectangular part? That seems strange to me, that only that jutting-out piece of metal would be getting hot. Also, what about the goop on that metal part? Basically, I need all the help I can get. Thanks.
