Morning matsta. cough I think I got a cold from my extra cooling shinanigans last night, I feel like a truck ran me over. Yes tjmax reads 95

On a side note here pertaining to the LGA775 bolt-thru kit I have. Do you see that clear plastic cover fitted around the back plate? When I tried to install this before I tried with that plastic thingy on the backplate thinking it was some protective feature like a fiber/paper washer you see ppl use when screwing their mobo down. I'm wondering if I should take that off and it's just there as a packing feature to stop undue wear.

I'm going to hit the hardware store this morning for some wet/dry sandpaper to lap my Vendetta as I thought it was awefully rough when I was cleaning it with alcohol. Also my brother whos a mechanic suggested I put the bolt-thru springs in the freezer for an hour and that should shorten them up minutely enough so I can reach the backplate.
