"Hmm.. 5:30pm, think Il nip home, shove this extra gig of ram in, screw the fan down and be testing Doom 3 by 6:30 before i go to teh gym at 7.. perfect..."

You know the mindset.. simple job, crack on....


Well.... as you can im sure imagine, that isnt how it turns out

The aforementioned support bracket goes on teh back of the motherboard, well i was quietly sure the rear of my motherboard was open to acccess... it wasnt, so i had to take it out, which of course, is a TOTAL stripdown!!





Fit this bugger to teh back:


And this to teh front around teh CPU...


Shove teh board back in teh case and add the sexy new fan.



Job done:


Oh look, the fan lights up too...


But most importantly, during a 3d mark test, teh processor used to hit 55deg C, now it only makes 44, so a major improvement thankfully!!
