Got a nice big blister coming up now, and it really hurts.

It was perfectly stable though, running at 433 MHz. However, I decided that for my safety I would upgrade my cooling - so I bought a massive 1.1 GHz thunderbird cooler and attached it to my slocket.

Everything went to plan, until I tried to boot up - nothing. Black screen, no beep.

Fiddled about a bit, and found that the heatsink was so big that it was twisting the slocket in the slot. A few bits of paper carefully wedged into the slot retention clips solved the problem and my celeron now nice and cool.
