I did try rotating the HSF by 90 deg but the cpu was up to 5C worse and no
change in the NB temp so back to original.
"gets a bit boring" !!! That's a mouthful!!! I wonder if I'll make it
half a year before I get a new cpu!!! It never stops! Fortunately!
Those little clips on the HSF that I guess Intel invented are a tad of
frustration, but 99% of the time it's because I forgot to re-lock it after
ramoving it - DUH!!! The other 1% is just that most things in this world
just don't fit/work quite right and it takes a bit of patience!!!
Onward!!!

[[ as to returning lots of stuff, yes, the local MicroCenter (Cambridge) is
great about returns - their only request has been that you return as many
of the parts of an item as possible, and of course I always strive for
perfection in that, thinking about how I would like it if I bought one of
my returns and an important part, like an IO shield, was missing. Scored a
new Newpoint UPS there yesterday - $30 on closeout I guess - 800 VA / 400
watts (I use about 120 watts) - has USB conector so I can retire my old
Belkin which had serial connector and I couldn't get the serial port on the
DFI to work. ]]

No, just kidding about the boring part. After the system is done and
stable, you get to run the apps you made the computer for. The first
time I tried to install the Intel heatsink, I almost broke it. I didn't
quite understand how they worked. Now that I've removed it and
installed a larger heatsink, it's obvious and extremely easy to use.

That's really nice. Wish there was one of them around here.
Around last September, I finally decided to get a UPS (1000 VA
CyberPower) after the power went out about three times within a few
minutes that day. Since that time, we had perfect power until finally
it went out for 3 hours last week. It was really odd to be working on
the computer when everything else is dead and it's dark, except for the
monitor. I took my time, finished what I was doing and shut the
computer down normally. It's definitely worth having one.
