Hi there,
long time since last time i passed by ^^'
I was rechecking my "retro hardware" lately and noticed that an athlon thunderbird CPU i have laying around has lost 2 of the 4 rubber feets on its top.
Looking on google i have found that those feets were there for protecting the core from cracking while mounting the heatsink.
Anyone with some Socket A/462 experience does know if it can be mounted even without those rubber feets on? How?
It would be a shame to crack the CPU core for something like that.
Thanks in advance for the answers 😀
P.S: i have read about existing CPU shims/spacers, but cant found any on ebay. So i would need an alternative solution, even DIY 😀
