    A7V "System Performance" not saving to "Normal" 1005 Read!

    All, You may not have noticed or I am the only one having this problem, but when I change the System Performance to Normal from Optimal, it always changes back to Optimal. I'll toggle it, got to the next menu, go back and once again it's set to Optimal! If I save it at Normal and go back it...

    Is crushing your processor when clamping down a Heatsink normal?

    A GlobalWin FOP38 (the loud one) and a T-Bird 800. I finally got it on. I bent and wore the clips a bit. When I tried to wipe off some of the excess Artic Silver that flowed over I got it all over some of the little chips on the processor. Hope I didn't kill it.

    New FOP38 and that thermal pad that's on it.

    Hello all, I'm about to mount my Heatsink on my T-Bird 800 using Artic Silver thermal compound. The Heatsink came with a little thermal pad. Should I remove that before adding the Artic Silver? What worries me is that the only thing separating the Heatsink from the CPU is the Artic Silver...
