texasboy:
;D Good news, I`ve found the screw I was after. 50 of them at Maplin for £2.99.
So I will once again remove mobo and install Mugen 2 heatsink.
The present heatsink Nexus 7000 low profile is excellent and for those of you with any interest, the following are present temps while running 3.65MHz on i7 920 cpu (stock 2.67MHz}
Mobo 35deg C
CPU 39 deg C
4Xcores 40-44 deg C
GPU Ambient 38 deg C (2x8800GT cards in SLI slightly overclocked}
HD 30 DEG c.
All in Coolermaster haf 932 case
So, will make the changeover after supper and do some tests.
cheers

;D Lots of good news tonight. Just bought my second Sapphire ATI HD4870 on Ebay tonight for £58,13. The seller is only 1/2 hr away and I can collect in person. Now I can try crossfire instead of SLI (nvidia). At present running 1x 4870 @3.35MHz with a little extra 80mm fan on Mugen 2 heatsink. All temps are below 39deg,Mobo 29deg/CPU34deg and all cores 37-39 deg after 1 hour, Used Antec formula 5 silver paste which seems to have bedded in and temps are excellent even while stressing using prime 5 for 2 hours, and using latest Everest and" real temp" to check. Presently waiting for a new slimline 120mm fan(only 12mm thick) to take over from the little 80mm fan which has only 2 wires and runs 100% at all times.
Having fun .
cheers
keep up the good work Tex....lol
