Today I had a message to say my CPU has arrived at Argos, ready for collection.
I now have some heatsink cleaner and a syringe of silver heat sink paste ready to install the six core CPU.
I will take a few photographs of the installation process.
I have found my torque screwdriver which I bought about 20 years ago but have never used! It ranges up to 12Lbs Inch, I think I need 4 Lbs Inch for the heat sink clamping screws. That's something I need to check. There are 4 hex cap screws which need a 3mm key, so I expect they will be 4mm ISO thread. About 12 turns of the screws from start to tight.
