Need foam pieces for Athlon.......please read !!!

[killabeas]

Okay, PLEASE read this post all the way to the end.

My good friend is between a rock and a hard place with his 1.4 Ghz Athlon. When he was putting his system together, he pulled the 4 foam pieces off the corners. Well, the processor doesn't work, and the computer store won't take the cpu back without the foam bumpers on there, and all AMD will give him in exchange for it (after much negotiating) is a 950 Mhz cpu. If anyone has a burnt up processor, or one with a cracked core, and has foam bumpers that you could send to me, PLEASE do. Or if you know where you can buy these, please let me know.

Either email me, or PM me as soon as possible.

Thanks

OK, I give up. Why did your friend detach the "foam bumpers?" The story has got to be "funny" to the rest of us, even though it's devasting to your friend.

Sorry, I don't have any "spares" to send to you.

well, you're not the only one who wants to know why he did this, so i'll share it with ya'll

evidentally, another one of my friends (who, by the way, calls himself "The Dude&quot did this SUCCESSFULLY to his 1.2Ghz and his 800Mhz cpu's. I guess The Dude read in an article somewhere that you get a better attachment of the heatsink to the core.......pretty dumb if you ask me.
