| Question about SLK-800 and CPU pads For all SLK-800 owners you know the pads that Thermalright includes to attach the HS to the CPU, are these really necessary for the TBred chips? I know on another forum ([H]) some people werent using them with their Pally, chips, but I went ahead and used them anyway, because I was pretty scared of chipping the CPU. What I am curious is are the TBred dies as fragile as the pallys? And if they arent are people around here using their SLK-800 sinks without the pads? Thanks

| really they are belt and braces. ive never managed to chip a core, but to my knowledge tbreds are as fragile as anything else. Just make sure you dont tilt the heatsink too much when installing it and all should go well.

| According to the Thermalright instructions, the pads are to go on the CPU. I have always opted to install them on the heatsink as I may change the CPU before the sink. Here is an illustration for you to show proper placement. RN is absolutely (as always) right. They are for mounting / dismounting only and the cores are just as fragile as any others so beware. This is a very hefty heatsink with a really strong clip. I personally really like it but special care is needed when mounting or removing it.

| The next time you have to remove it, put them on! Every little bit helps. Once youv'e crushed a core, there's no going back!
