Alright guys, quick update!
Sub-Update 21.2 - It's alive!
Well, first things first, I'm going to be straight to the point. Before even testing if it is in working order... I MUST have to change the TIM
Naked CPU and northbdirge!
Such a lovely combo, don't you think?
As I predicted as I was unscrewing the heatsink...
...the awesomeness of the stock TIM
... and...
...imo this is a flaw:
I am forced to use that thermal pad on the CPU, as Zotac didn't work in adding an extra "bump" on the heatsink because, it won't touch the Atom as is, so using TIM will result in a no heat transfer...
The heatsink all cleaned up from the cruddy "rock solid" tim, the CPU will be near that nut...
I love this mobo... I even made it look like the ITXION-A series, which have integrated DC-DC converter and a 19v input dongle.
Lucky that ZOTAC leaves that backplate on the mobo for the wireless antenna and a couple more holes. So... it's a perfect fit from my DC-DC coverter input dongle!
All put together...
...ready for testing...
... ...
Woot! it lives!
Yeah...... the flash, I only noticed it was too bright when I uploaded the photo... lol
Alright guys, that's all for today. Thanks alot for watching.
(woo... I'm able to boot with the D945GCLF WHS installation without issues
