Shipping took a while

That looks cool 😏

Indeed it does ❄️

How do you fit the white pins back in? 😅

Do you need new ones or the old ones can work?

Did you add some fresh thermal compound? That is also very important.

Yes I did. But haven’t figured out the white pins so it’s pointless. I wonder if I can use screws instead

I’ll wait to see what the experts say. Thanks Ryan!

Maybe throw out an asknostr note?

Good idea. I’ll check some YouTube videos and if I can’t figure it out I’ll throw one out

It seems like I can use screws from the videos I’ve seen 🫡

Hardware store time

LFG 🚀 BRRRRR

You can use screws! I got lucky and the heatsink I bought had some good screws that worked perfectly.

Saw some video that used screws. Actually that’s the only way to use the 4 holes. Works great. Thanks

You really only need 2 screws, using all 4 is cool and all but overkill.

The El mirage from nostr:nprofile1qqs9qv7z07y2e78j0q2gxqcn2796qer8fwz378mrlzzxk2dztmuhtuspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqpth64d is actually much better for far less. I have 2 bitch in sinks I wanna sell now.

So you tried both and you prefer the mirage one?

That's bitchin

Yessir

How long did it take for your order to ship? I'm still waiting for mine... 👀

A little bit more than a month, roughly 35 days

Royal Mail sucks lol

Terribly slow. Just ordered another one yesterday. I figure I’ll get it in 5-6 weeks. The guy from miningco is on vacation though. Might be longer
