    Post installing heatsink

    I'm about to attach a heat sick to my athlon 1.4. Can I have a little information on how to do this? On the suface of the chip are 4 spongy circles raised above everything else on the chip. What are these and should I take them off before putting on the heatsink? thanks!
    If someone has a clever handle tell me.

    No..they're there so the HSF won't crush the core!!

    Put your thermal paste, on the small raised square in the center of your CPU. nowhere else. for a large capacity CPU, I strongly suggest you use Arctic Silver II thermal paste

    yep that should be fine. newbies can cause alot of mess with arctic silver 2 especially if they spill it on their bridges
