I updated the BIOS on my ECS K7S5A to support the proc. I am currently using a Taisol CGK760, the aluminum one with the copper plate fused into the bottom. On the Taisol site I see a 760092 and a 760142(I think those were the numbers) the 92 I think has the thermal pad, which mine did, the other comes with thermal grease and is rated for higher speeds, is the only differance the thermal pad vs. grease? Cause I got some thermal grease from compusa today and I plan to install the CGK with the grease on my 2100+, will that suffice at stock speed, and can anyone give me any advice.
 
Taisol heat sinks

They look the same to me. Same fan speed,(4800rpm) same cfm, same fan. Same heatsink. It's a nice heatsink.

Any heatsink grease will work OK. It should be fine.

 
Oh a link to the taisol heat sinks, yeah i guess that would have helped, sorry, thanks KF

Also I have one other question, this proc has the 4 little foam pads or whatever at each of the corners, I don't remember seeing these on my duron. I am assuming they are to help keep the heatsiink level and help prevent damage to the core(Man i am drawing a blank, the thing in the middle of the processor, thats called a core right?)anyway, should they be left on, or do they get int he way and prevent proper cooling?
 
Those should be left on. Also make really sure the stepped end of the heatsink's base is at the solid-plastic end of the CPU socket, the part where the arm swivels.
 
Thanks guys, I got it installed, and it didn't burn up yet, so thats a good sign. It got up to 46 degrees celcius from what I saw in the BIOS, what is a good program to monitor temps from in windows, I heard motherboar monitor is good, so i am checking it out. Can anyone give me a general range of safe emps for a 2100+ in an Antec SX1030, with 4 80mm case fans in it. Basically i have adequate to above average cooling, I even have a better fan on the heatsink then what was on it. The reason i ask is cause I don't want this thing to overheat, normally I would not worry about it, but when i was trying to get the thermal pad off the bottom of the heatsink, I may have unsmoothed the surface of the sink, and I am just afraid it may be good enough to keep it running, but if I start to stress it, it could "melt".
 
you should be safe up to about 60c with that chip depending on how accurately your motherboard reports cpu temps. 46c in the bios is good i wouldn't worry about it.
