AMD stock heatsink grease

[kzrssk]

Hey everyone,

I was installing a new AMD processor and when installing the stock heatsink, I accidentally lifted the heatsink a couple times trying to clip it down. Does that mess up the connection with the grease that comes on it? And if so, how many more degrees C will I be seeing?

Thanks

No, it shouldn't unless you already turned it on and then removed it. If it was still in a solid state, then there's no problem.

Nah, didn't turn it on yet. Don't have the 20 to 24 pin adapter haha
