Well, that took longer than expected.
I never liked UPS that much ever since they charged me forty-something dollars for customs fee.
I got it all installed. Damn, it was very painful. I didn’t cut myself on the fin, which was what I actually expected would happen.
instead, it was the darn pushpins!
My thumb’s all sore trying to push those pins. I feared my board would break. It is quite bent. It was already quite bent with the stock Intel cooler.
Now, the temperatures.

As I am writing this, my two years old Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 is overclocked to 3.2ghz (original: 2.67Ghz) with 1.2625V. I initially put the voltage at 1.25V, but I got BSOD a few times. I’m still not sure if the CPU overclock is the cause.
At stock, the temps were ~40C idle and ~60C load (after 10-15 minutes of Prime95).
