I haven't but maybe I should. Thing is, if the new monitor that is on the way works, I won't likely ever have this monitor on the new rig again. It is the smallest and oldest monitor I have. I usually use it during installs or on rigs I rarely use anyway. This is mostly on the NAS box rigs that I use to do backups with. I only boot them once a week and they only run for a couple hours at most. I pitched the old CRT monitors long ago. Those thing produced a LOT of heat and pulled a huge amount of power compared to the new flat screen ones. I just realized something. The CPU cooler and m.2 cooler is made by the same company. No wonder they look so much alike. ROFL Oh, I did add some thermal pad to the controller end. It was making some contact before but it looks like it was only touching about half of the controller chip based on the indentation it left behind in the pad. A .5mm thick piece made it fairly flat between the controller and memory chip. It would likely work fine even under heavy use but now I know it is going to cool very well. I can be a little OCD on some things. :/ Oh, I'm in the heat picking basil. Dang that stuff smells good. Almost got a ice cream bucket full. :-D I'm still on the first planter. I got two more to go. o_O Dale :-) :-)
