This rather tedious process requires builders to hold the CPU cooler in place atop the CPU with one hand, align it’s the motherboard to its mounting holes with a second hand, insert screws through the support plate and motherboard with a third hand, and drive the screws into the CPU cooler with a fourth hand (Ed.: It's a good thing you're a mutant!)
try some scotch tape for holding the back plate on, i found 2 strips over opposing corners works great, you can even drop the screws in the plates and a little square over the screws hold them in place, the screw driver head twists the tape up/off and i just pick it up/off when finished attaching the cpu cooler.
great article, reaffirms what was known about application performance and confirms a few things i suspected and glad i didn't have to spend the $2k to find out. tell AMD to get back on the ball with the CPU bottleneck advancements.
once request i will make, is add multiple application's at once performance, you've got multi cores, and one app running, i usually have a minimum of 4 apps going since pentium mmx 200mhz days, now days it's close to 6. most guys i know are downloading (torrents) stuff while playing online fps/mmo and playing music/video, some IM client/webcam/skype/voice chat. i'll burn a cd/dvd and encode cd/dvd's during all that also. it's an insane way to tax a quad core system and i'm curious if hexacore and octacore systems are going to benefit by 50 percent or more.
don't look at me like that, i'd make one core run something for SETI, i'm not entirely evil. if you give me the power to do something, i'll find ways to push it to the limit and i'll show it's never enough.
