I am running an AMD 2700 Thoroughbred and it is mounted by a nice heatsink without thermal paste. The core temp never gets above 145 degrees which from what I hear is pretty good for that processor. My heatsink had a kind of sticky surface to the connector to the chip. The manual was in Korean so I couldn't really read it. Any way I heard that thermal paste is old fashioned. Do I need some? Is my temp Okay? Also, what does "banned" mean when people post?
