Everything seems to be working fine thus far. While re-applying it though ..In the back of my mind I was thinking "please don't start smoking" "please don't BLOW UP!" as I was a little anxious at first, but A-OK it's all good. This post is mainly directed towards IOWA girl as you may have to do it someday-take my 1st experience as food for thought. |
duly noted TS I will probably heed what Popeye says but I sure would like to have a closer look at a CPU. So CPU and processor are the same thing? I assumed the CPU was specific to the actual uniting of Fan, Heatsink, & processor. All three, but not necessarily? Not just the processor standing alone. This did make me chuckle TS
In the back of my mind I was thinking "please don't start smoking" "please don't blow up Gee Popeye where have I heard those words before.
