CPU shim for XP 3200?
2005-05-02 13:42:40 by cheetos316Buying a new Athlon XP 3200 chip for my system and the site recommended a copper shim that "Helps to protect the delicate CPU core during installation of the fan. Increases surface area of CPU to heatsink contact by 400% for better cooling." Is this something that is required? Is it worth the 10 bucks for this? I looked elsewhere to see if I can get the shim cheaper but it seems that there are only non-Barton ones and universal ones... Can I get away with using the universal ones like this one:
Or does anyone know where I can
