Thermaltake copper shim XP

[garyboz]

This seems like an obvious question. I just got a Duron 1 Gig (Morgan core) and the new thermaltake copper shim for Athlon XP's, etc. However, I can't seem to put it on without covering some of the bridges. Isn't that bad? The shim is made out of copper, won't that short all of the bridges across each other? The instruction at thermaltake only show the old shim. Any thoughts? Thanks.

If the shim will cover anything like bridges, dont use it.

Copper shims suck, you run the risk of shorting out your chip, do NOT use an XP shim on any other chip, or vice versa.

Get a non conductive T-Bird/XP shim and you can use it on any AMD chip.
