i was just reading about the socket A prossors(462) Thay have vary low specs for the amount of forse that can be applyed from the heatsink and i think when i put the heatsenk on wroung i may have cracked it. This is what i read and i quote this..

Location Dynamic Static
Die Surface 445 N(100 lbf) 133 N(30 lbf)
Die Edge 44 N(10 lbf) 44 N(10 lbf)

"Those load limits are quite small compared to the load limits of Socket 478 processors. Indeed, they were so small that many users ended up with cracked processors while trying to remove or attach heatsinks for their fragile processors. It must be noted though that many processors were cracked by non-standard or non-certified heatsink solutions as many, although by no means all, Socket A processors were shipped as bare OEM processors in trays."

So im thinking theres a vary good chance that i may have cracked the Die when i tryed reattaching the heatsink, Still gonna try and do the thrmal paste just to see,

Thanks Daniel
