Socket A Heatsink Mounting Procedures
In a previous thread, I said I will have to reinstall my CPU and heatsink due to a bad BIOS update and the subsequent Newegg RMA. I should receive the motherboard on Thursday, and being anal-retentive, I've been reading on how to properly install a heatsink, but none of it seems to address the following question:
When mounting a heatsink, does one first place the heatsink onto the processor, and then push the retention clip (the one WITHOUT the screwdriver socket thingy), or does one first place the retention clip, and then press the heatsink down? I'm using a Barton 2500+ and the stock heatsink, with Arctic Silver 3.
