Woo!

Hey, is there thermal compound between the heatsink/fan and the north-bridge chip? If not, adding some would help keep it cooled off, unless they attach the heatsink/fan with thermal tape instead of spring pins, in which case you're stuck (no pun intended).
Regarding the RC5 team: Anand founded Team AnandTech, and we do the RC5-64 Challenge, the Optimal-Golumb-Ruler project (a mathematical/science project), the SETI@home project and the GammaFlux project, those are the main four anyway.
I run the RC5 program mostly, it is a Cow icon in my system tray by the clock. It uses idle CPU time to search for the key to a message that has been encrypted by RSA Security Labs as a challenge to the public. Yes, there's a prize for the person who finds the key.

No, it doesn't hurt your performance, not even when running benchmarks. Thunderbirds are dynamite at all four of those projects.
Support Anand's team!
