The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
Educational Video Tutorial on how-to Mount an AM3 AMD CPU like Phenom or Athlon II onto an ASUS M4 series Motherboard. Original video production by the www.OSGUI.com Tech Show.
@Farmuhcee ok
@OSGUIShow Just watched it again (where you’re applying the heatsink) and you make mention that you may want to apply some ‘extra glue’ if you’re overclocking.
But from my screen (even full-screen), it just looks like a silver contact square for heat transfer, not thermal compound (particularly because you take the plastic off the heat sink as if you are taking it directly out of the packaging.)
@OSGUIShow I personally can’t see the thermal compound on my laptop’s screen (Darn those 12" screens) but I also wasn’t watching it full-screen either.
@Farmuhcee dude what is scary is that you
1 did not know that the thermal compound is already on the heatsink
2 see it on the bottom of the heatsink in this video ? its visible in the thumbnail
@tkrojam sweet cheers
Scariest part of this video: He puts the heat-sink on with no thermal compound whatsoever. I don’t care if you have a $500 heat-sink/cooler, aren’t overclocking, or have the computer in room colder than a walk-in-freezer- *always* use thermal compound. It’s $10 or less, and worth every penny.
thanks a lot for your tutorial!!!~~
@Nezen3k hehehe yeah it can be very hard to put it on the board… indeed
when i got my cooler on i thought i was going to break my motherboard xD
@CelloBones it sure is
cheers
Thanks for this, had to remember how to do this for my brothers’ build.
Locking the CPU is always the most scary part in my opinion.
@Nezen3k yes
whould an AMD Phenom 1055t x6 prossecor work on this motherboard?
@combatvet1n3 cool, good luck
Great vid. it seems very helpful, as i am going to be doing my first custom build in a couple days with that same processor.
@moxito1 thanks
@1234flamingkitsunes thanks mate
@miraey you are welcome
thanks
@Gizmo898989 thanks
haha true
good job. much easier than install a 775 hsf in my opinion. i can never be sure when 775 heat sinks are on tight
terima kasih thank you
Great job on this
@schmidtbag cool
how soon?
at least my chip was cheap
glad to know you’re an amd supporter. keep in mind that amd will be releasing a 6 core phenom II that is compatible with am3 and even am2+ boards, so that motherboard will do you some good for a very long time
@pacorocks1 thanks not an easy question for me to answer – the answer would depend on what the OS was needed for and the users abilities and time available and skills – probably Debian
