Good! The hardest part is getting the heatsink attached to the chip.
lol
Now you always have to option of adding a small (and most likely noisy) fan
to the top of that heatsink if it seems to be running too hot. The fan
would attach to the heatsink with screws that grab onto the spokes/fins of
the heatsink. If you ever decide to exercise that option, get a fan that's
about the same size as the top of the heatsink with the same number of wires
as there are pins in that NB_Fan header. If there are 3 pins, the fan will
have the ability to report its spin rate back to the BIOS (and various
system monitor utilities may be able to tap into that feed as well), so
you'll be able to keep tabs on its condition. I'd also look into getting
one designed to run as quiet as possible. As we have previously discussed,
the smaller the fan, the faster it needs to spin to move the same amount of
air as a larger one. And the faster it spins, the louder it will be. Then,
too much fan noise easily translates into unnecessary subconcious (and
occasionally concious) stress while you're sitting at the PC.
