It does seem to run somewhat faster, now, though. Still waaay too hot
for my comfort, though. Maybe I'll bolt a peltier cooler on the case fan ;)
Fun fact: The screws to the heatsink mount can back out and loosen over
time. I only discovered this after I installed the new heatsink and
fired up the computer, only to have it shut itself down in the middle of
POST! After a few cycles of this and the occasional BIOS complaint that
overclocking failed (huh? I've never overclocked my system...) I finally
ripped of the new heatsink and noticed the screws were rather loose.
Thankfully, Intel processors will shut down the system if they get hot
enough to start a fire.
