Very very good.

Really like the idea of using velcro for support.

over all a great guide for those air cooler guys

Yes, a symantics mistake on my part, but even though I used the word polish I MEANT the word flat :P. I know that a surface can be very shiny and reflective but far from flat...but my first video demonstrates how flat it is :P

You did incredible work. I was shocked that you didn't use thermal paste in that video O_O.

Well I figured the CPU was busted anyway and it was, but if you put it back on within a second or two temps don't spike THAT fast. Since I wasn't sure it was broken at the time it was a little scary though haha. A lightening storm had hit my computer earlier that month and I wasn't sure what was ruined and what wasn't. That was a brand new mobo in the vid.

The music in the first video is Passage in D by The Flashbulb.
I originally found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw4KAZH6dmw
Then I tracked down the artist, bought it on iTunes, burnt it to CD, ripped it from the CD, and voi la! Stuck it in the vid haha (It's dumb how a song I buy is still copy protected, but whatever)
