In a few week's I'll be on my own for an entire weekend. So I'm starting to plan a few projects to keep me from eating too much pizza or drinking too much beer
.

- Bake the motherboard from my spare G5 w/'dodgy' motherboard
- Reapply thermal paste on the dual 1.8 CPU's from spare G5
- Install CPU's w/reapplied thermal paste in good G5 & calibrate fans
- Install DD-WRT on a Netgear WNR2000V2
- Reapply thermal paste to Nvidia GPU
- Reapplied thermal paste on the dual 1.8 CPU's from 'dodgy' G5
- Reapplied thermal paste to Nvidia GPU & heat sinks
- Installed CPU's (w/reapplied thermal paste) in good G5 & calibrated fans
- Ran system checks of both CPU's and the video card, everything passed
- Removed the MB from the 'dodgy' G5 and 'heated' it, no improvement - still 'dodgy'
