i got a XP2400+ with retail heatsink.. and on the retail heatsink there is some rubber feeling stuff that touches the (?)core of the cpu.. so i didnt wanna screw anything up(FIRst pc build)
rrggh too bad... that is the thermal adhesive rubber crap pad... If you want better temps, take off your hsf scrape and clean both the hsf and core as hard as you can and apply the new stuffs
