Thanks in advance for all your help!

I just got a JIUHB xp1800+, an asus a7v8x-x, and 512mb pc3200 ram
I have a few questions before i get started and ruin something 🙂

1. I used to hear about crushed cores all the time, is that still a problem with t-bred B's
2. I have a alpha PAL6035 heatsink... will that work on this chip/mobo? It seems physically compatible.
I dont need great heating as I wont be overclocking much.
3. Thanks!
 
As long as your cooler's clip doesn't require exceesive force or if you don't apply excessive force to the cooler's clip, you should be fine on #1, and as for number 2, i just looked at the cooler, and it seems pretty beefy, not to mention that it is compatible, so as long as you have a good enough fan on it and your case is well ventilated, your temps should be very nice.
