cooked cpu

MR.G · 13-June-03, 05:17 AM

I have a volcano 9 and i flipped the clip that mounts the heatsink to the socket. Well in doing there wasn't enough pressure to push the heatsink totally on the cpu. Now I have a smoked XP1700. Looking at the heatsink core, after i cooked the cpu, I could tell only half of the heatsink actually was on the cpu by the imprint of thermal compound. So F.Y.I don't flip the clip

guess that was a mod gone bad.did the original position put the clip right underneath the psu?

my heatsink is butted up against my psu so i flipped it to make it easier to get it off without having to take the psu out. the lil slot for the screw driver was towards the psu i flipped it so it was facing the bottom of the case. Too bad the board i fried it on didn't have overheat protection like i thought it did. Oh and I got it at SVC so it's 60 bucks
