Hey all got another question...
When I got my motherboard and CPU, I asked the people I was buying it off if they could install the CPU onto the motherboard to save me the trouble.
My question is:
"Does the AMD Athlon XP 2100 CPU Retail come with some type of thermal compound???"
They installed the heatsink that came with the CPU, but I can't seem to remember if they put any type of thermal compound underneath it.
The reason I am asking this question is because my CPU seems to be running hot!!! I can't get it to cool down. I placed my CPU right by my AC duct and my motherboard temp is at 20-25. CPU temp goes anywhere from 45-60. (Down from 70s, thx God!!!)
I'll be getting a grease load stuff (fans, good heatsink, grills) in a few days, but I want to know if I even have any thermal compound at all.
