Got some pressies from the boys at Bit today:

ECS, Abit and Sapphire (of which’s colour reminds me of strawberrys and cream) AMD boards. And yes, the Sapphire box is very reflective.

Upgrading your LGA socket

Im reguarly astounded into frustration by Intel’s sheer brilliance in evolving a WORSE heatsink retention mechanism than ever previously devised. I FINALLY sorted it out but getting: 4x M4 bolts, several fibre and nylon washers, some pretty heavy duty springs and fashioning this hold down devise. Now i can get a perfect contact every time (without trying to sound like an advert).
The only good thing about LGA heatsinks is that the standard plastic feet can be easily removed and reapplied if need be (if, for example you come to sell the heatsink). Future revisions will be better, including wingnuts for easy tightening and some proper sized washers.

Start of a whole new.. thing

Currently this page looks like any other Blog, i will customise it in time. I feel the need to vent myself onto the net, in places other than forums so here it is. Been a long time coming, I just realised it was 18 months since I last updated the site!

EDIT: Blaaack! Blaaaaack! Muhu-Muhahaha. *cough*
