CPU was delivered today by UPS while I was at work. I came home for lunch, broke out the thermal compound and contact cleaner, installed it, installed the oversized CPU cooler that came earlier in the week, and held my breath for the power-on.
Everything's hooked up, the CPU fan goes on as it should, and the system posts. Now I just need to track down my source for an OS. That may take a little while, since the guy keeps a weird schedule (and I'll be in Lancaster until late tonight) and is usually either asleep or gaming, but I should be able to get up and running either tonight or tomorrow morning. No more tripling of my time spent on CAD homework due to each command taking a few seconds to even start processing! |
