[Coco] 2 wasted cpus?

[camillus Blockx]

The making heat is not so good, are they getting HOT or just warm?

HOT means most of the time short and dead. Warm after runnung for  time is
ok.

Did you place the socket the right way, and plug in the cpu right and
straight in the socket? Check each pin of the cpu if they really make good
contact in the socket.

Check everything over again...goodluck
