did I kill my NF7??
I got the K7D i ordered recently in today, and after setting everything up (with a single duron 
... didnt have any other processors handy) ... I shifted the other rigs to make room on the rack ... 2 seconds later, my nf7 rig starts sirening, reboot, all is well, then the telltale sounds of restart happen over and over again (ie hard drive spinning up etc) ...
(remove long story - check all options etc ...)
I finally pulled it from the rack and started checking connections etc... I touched the heatsink - and GODDAMN was it hot ... never felt an HS like that ever before ...
removed, cleaned, reapplied as5, and resat (slk900a w/ panaflo) ... and restarted ... 20 seconds later its as hot as ever ...
Ive backed off the overclock I had before .. even running stock it restarts under load ... temps reading at around 65 C ... however accurate that is.
so, did I kill my motherboard, or the processor ??? ... and how could I have done that moving the box literally 3 inches ..??
