Fuck Intel and their garbage push pin cooler mount. Yay new old CPU.

You know you can install a "normal" screw mounted cooler in the same socket?

@iiii sure, better coolers come with their own mounting system. But my cheap one I originally bought for AMD doesn't. It seems to have worked out after a fight but the mounting pressure still doesn't seem adequate. At least this time I knew to put more paste to combat the poor pressure.

@electrineer maybe get a better cooler for that specific socket?

@iiii thank you for your useful suggestion

You *just now* got on the fuck-intel train?

Well, welcome aboard fwiw.

Also, fuck intel.

@Wisecrack use condoms

@iiii my seed will spread to the stars!

@Wisecrack fick someone better then

@Wisecrack I'm sure that would be better than nothing between the CPU and heat sink. Actual thermal goob will work longer, though, so I'll stick with that.

@electrineer fwiw artic silver is my goto for goob because it has never once given me issue.

@iiii wait, wait, wait, are you offering what I think you're offering?

@Wisecrack don't fuck Intel without a condom

@iiii oh, for a moment I was confused.

@Wisecrack I've used toothpaste once. It worked well for a few days until it dried and started to smell. I've used MX-2 and MX-4 ever since.

@Wisecrack confused how?

@iiii he thought you were looking for company
