just got a new motherboard/cpu/heatsink. the cpu is a xp 1800. the problem is that the heatsink is so wide that it touches and sits on top of a capacitor. i am concerned that the heat from the heatsink will fry the capacitor. it's not an expensive motherboard, but i want it to last for a few years. is this a real concern? i can get another heatsink/fan for less than $20 on the web.
