Mobo book isn't exactly cs-101 on that stuff. Up about an hour now, cpu fan has not got off its 550 rpm idle. Sink is a couple degrees above room. I think I've built a winner. Now if I could just get rid of the fires stink. That I suspect will take time though. Turned out when I was salvaging stuff, there were 2 pairs of usb-2 headers & sockets one totally destroyed, and another visibly damaged by long time heating. I am NOT impressed by the 9 pin females on the ends of those breakout cables. Generally flimsy, low contact pressure stuff. Plug in something with a low battery and there is going to be a fire, eventually. Its a bit like asking if freshly poured concrete will crack, if is the wrong question, when is correct. :-)
