Aloha....
One thing I noticed and later read about long ago is that
there is a correct and not correct way to install the heat sink. How
that little metal clip is installed is very important and has caused
heat related problems.
The heat sink didn't seem to fit correctly before I corrected the
clips position on my own chip upgrade. I hadn't noticed there was an
offset point on the clip.
I remember that the square hole is facing the hard drive side.
hope this helps
