I am installing the goodies onto my Asus A7N8X-X mobo and have reached my first snag. I honestly tried to find the answer before posting but couldn't, so...
Is there supposed to be a hsf for my Athlon XP2500 Barton, or is that job handled by the fan on the back of my Antec tower? Every building guide that I am consulting mentions how to install the hsf over the cpu. And the mobo manual points out where the plugs are for the cpu hsf. I hope I am not supposed to have one, because I didn't get one with my newegg order, and if I was supposed to order one I didn't know it.
Can anyone clear this up? Thanks,
