Oy!
Had a horrible "oh sh*t!" moment last night as I was drifting off to sleep. It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't removed the protective plastic liner from the heat sink before installing it onto the CPU. Had to jump out of bed and power the server down. Fortunately it was pretty well idle since I'd powered it up so I doubt it got hot enough to do any damage (the AMD Athlon 64 X2 runs amazingly cool anyway).
Gotta pick up some more heat sink paste and hope the plastic didn't melt onto the CPU.
