AMD Athlon 3000+ Heatsink Question

Hello,

I am building a new system with a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC board and a AMD Athlon 3000+. My question is about the heatsink that came with the retail processor. It has that very thin gray pad under it. I want to use Artic Silver 5 paste. Should I remove the pad with alcohol and apply the paste to CPU. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Peter
 
Hello there, and welcome to Techspot!

You are correct. If you are going to apply some Arctic Silver, you first need to remove that gray pad and clean before you apply the paste.

Good luck!
