Hi there,
I'm currently in the process of building my first PC (and the forums and guides here, at Sharky's, and Ars have been a huge help,) but I've got a question. Is a heatsink/fan necessary if I don't plan on overclocking?
I ordered the processor from Azzo.com and I'm guessing it's OEM because I all I got was the chip in a little clear plastic container. I'm going to put it into a KT7, and then put it all into a Fong Kai FK-603 case.
I don't want to fry my chip (duh), but I also don't really want to wait any longer to start assembling. If I do need a heatsink/fan, what's the best solution for a Socket-A Thunderbird?
Thanks.
