CPU pads

[harbinger52]

Do I want to remove the four pads on my 900 t-bird before setting on the FOP32-1. I keep hearing about making sure the heatsink sits as flat as possible.

Heh, don't take the pads off.

the pads are there to keep the heatsink stable. DO NOT remove them unless you're going to make your own

 

[Blayze]

as said above do not remove the pads

the pads r put there by AMD to make sure the HS+fan doesnt put too much weight on the core, and to evenly distribute that weight!
DO not remove them !
