By inference, a cpu without a heatsink will end up overheated anyways, no matter what themal paste you apply to it?

Sorry, the contacts.. But anyways, I believe the cpu will experience a cut-off without a heatsink for being overheated!

After I told him to mount the heat sink correctly, he replied as he needed to cleanse the legs of the cpu further, does it means he is looking his way out from being embarrassed? And he said if the cpu overheated, it will take 10-15 secs for power cut-off, now he says immediately.. thanks Jack

If I want the dosbox to display the same messages as the original dos software, and among many other things, that make it resemble the look and operations of the original dos... the caveat is I don't want to boot an image, because when you do it over and over again during the day, it will just slow …

Two use-case scenarios, 1st -> when working on the debugger, you probably would want to know if the data at the current address is an image and also what type of image it is. 2nd -> when working with hooking, when I dump a certain handle, say HTHEME, how can you tell which format it is in?
