[NathanL]

Oh yippee! Luckily my magic hands will do the trick tomorrow

 

[NathanL]

Whenever I wake up, should be morning at that point!!

 

[NathanL]

Working shifts has me naturally up at 8 latest most days so it'll most likely be morning morning!!
Off to beddy byes as of now though. Ready for pain and crying tomorrow

 

[NathanL]

The day has dawned

 

[NathanL]

Which prime test should I do? Maximum heat?

 

[NathanL]

Okedokey, setting that up now, and I assume when I wipe the paste off, I literally just wipe on top of the cpu yes?

 

[NathanL]

59 61 62 60 on test
Around low thirties idle, didn't really make a note and now they're not getting that cool again sooo

 

[NathanL]

Ahh I'd just turned everything off and unplugged! On it goes again!!

 

[NathanL]

I'll give it a 10 minute test and grab breakfast, sounds like a plan to me

 

[NathanL]

Okay boom 11 mins were ready

 

[NathanL]

It's out!!

 

[NathanL]

Done as best as I can, do I need to take anything else off on the front? Because the plate on the back doesn't seem to want to come off, or is it even meant to?

 

[NathanL]

Also can't help but notice this doesn't look like it'll fit over what ever those r68 things are

Spoiler: Socket on back

 

[NathanL]

Cancel the query on the front, seen there's spacer in the bag

 

[NathanL]

Any guesses on the back plate? Haha I'm a bit stuck to be honest! *Looks to expert guide for inspiration*

 

[NathanL]

It's stuck on with glue, would come off with a bit of elbow grease.. do I commit?

 

[NathanL]

When I pull it I can see what looks like glue keeping it in place

 

[NathanL]

*runs around wildly panicking*

 

[NathanL]

It'll have to be the mothers! I'm still a little mummy's boy
