The bad oreo pad is a 478 package thing so nevermind. I wasn't paying attention.
Dilbert's right about using too much grease. That, or not spreading it evenly leading to contact gaps.
The p/s fan is on the bottom, but draws into the supply from below and exhausts out the back, right? I'm sure I've worked on recent Truepower IIs.
Just making sure. There are designs that draw from the outside and blow down inside, which helps reduce noise, but it's horrible for anything except the coolest of systems. I reverse those fans at the first chance.
