Ok for a long time i was having extremely high temps on my cpu...i dont use anything special just the standard boxed AMD heatsink and fan...but today i cleaned it off..the fins on the heatsink fan are sooooo close togethor that it had actually created an entire layer of dust so now air was getting to it..so just a heads up for anyone who has one of these.
 
You could use a shim. They're not to keep air out, but it would greatly decrease the open space.

You might want to consider some high quality thermal paste also. Arctic 3 is a good product.
 
hes talking bout the fins the heatsink itself not under it :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
