Athlon era when AMD had no IHS but Intel had one. Intel also had thermal controls that AMD lacked. I once worked on a piece of equipment that was running awful slow. The CPU was just not budging from its base clock of 700Mhz. As I was removing the stock Intel cooler, I noticed it wasn't seated fully. Once I removed it and looked I saw a perfectly clean CPU with no residue. I looked at the HSF, the original thermal paste was in pristine condition. I remounted the HSF and it worked great. It ran 100% throttled for seven years before I touched it. |
