And it is all packed up again.
I can get away with milling plastic in the apartment but metal is a quick visit from the manager.
There is no point in direct die. Not enough surface area for the amount of heat put out to be effective. A 1/8" flat copper base plate water block would probably work just as good. That and I got no bear dies to work with. These IHS's appear to be epoxied on so they are not coming off with out the core attached.
Also out of motivation, moving back to RC's for a while being the weather is finally getting good around here again. Long winter...
I did order new PC parts though.
2gig dual channel DDR2 PC6400 G-Skill. $35shipped

CPU AMD A64 X2 4200+ 2.2G 65N 1M R - Retail $59.99 shipped
Not a bad upgrade for $184.98.
