Ok guys, I've seen about 6 billion articles on how to take the case off of my Athlon Classic, but I'm curious about cooling it once I have the case off.

What are some of you using? How are you connecting it? I'm not ripping apart my 650 till I know how to cool it properly.

Plz reply, if you know of a site that shows COOLING a opened classic, please share.

I just use an Alpha heatsink. You only take the plastic front off not the backplate. The Alpha heatsink is connected to the backplate with screws.

I have that Turbo cooler aka Artic circle. I put it on my bare cpu board. I put some artic sivler paste on it as well, and it dropped my temperture by 10C. From 40Cs to the 30Cs, over my old dual fan cooler.

Was it hard to mount it? From what read its just about being VERY careful...
