Guys, if you have a 2300 and it seems to be getting really hot, especially
under the CPU area, PLEASE check and make sure that the "batwing" heat sink
is installed, and that it is making GOOD physical contact with both the top
of the CPU as well as the frame. BOTH are the heat sink, and you can kill
your CPU if there is not enough thermal mass to draw heat off the die (chip
substrate..or the chip itself). You need something that has good thermal
characteristics to provide this....thus the reason for beryllium oxide paste
(the white stuff you often see between a CPU and a heat sink) as it has very
good thermal transfer properties. There are thermal "pads" which are
flexible and can close the gap between a heatsink and the CPU. Turning a
2300 into toast is no fun!
