Thats also a great idea ghettodish, might make one similar to the mvs cover ~_^ thanks mate. Keep the ideas coming guys, thanks! :D EDIT: Jesus, i just pulled apart the cpu/heatsink and the thermal paste was rock hard and hardly contacting!! Carefully scraped it off with a plastic sleeve, then applied some artic silver, and my temps are really way down, around 50c now / 65c on load!!! |

Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol is a good way to clean / remove thermal paste from a CPU. The higher the concentration of alcohol, the better. |

I noticed in this image the spaces would be perfect for what i was doing: Are they common at hardware stores? --- End quote --- Not that I'm aware of. The spacers at hardware stores might work, but I've never seen that type. They're pretty common though. Check in BnS, I think one of the vendors there offer them. I prefer that type over the bic pen style. The feet allow slight variation in the drill holes, allows you to remove and work on the board without having to find a scrap piece of con-conducting plastic or a grounding pad, and you don't have to screw around with them falling off as you reinstall. That's just me though. ;D |

If you want Malenko's style, just search for PCB FEET on eBay. |
