FinalWire, the leading developer of diagnostic and network management software for Windows based computers today released an update for their AIDA64 diagnostic, benchmarking and network management tool. AIDA64 Extreme Edition v1.20 is meant for home users while AIDA64 Business Edition v1.20 is a tool for small and medium scale enterprises.
The new version of AIDA64 is ready for Intel’s upcoming Sandy Bridge processors in addition to bringing some improvements for the current generation of Intel and AMD processors. It also supports the latest AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The software is also capable of handling GPU details for AMD Radeon HD 68xx and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 cards. FinalWire has created Windows 7 style icons for the software which makes it pretty easy to understand and operate. It also integrates support for USB 3.0 controllers and devices.
Some of the major bugs fixed in this version include issues with the Control Panel applet under Windows Vista and Window 7 as well as Memory Write benchmark on Intel Dunnington, Gulftown, and Westmere chips. FinalWire has also fixed the issue with the L3 cache bandwidth measurement on Intel Core i series processors.
In addition to these changes and improvements, FinalWire has also heeded to licensing change requests from users. So the new AIDA64 Extreme Edition can be used on up to 3 computers with a single personal license. The AIDA64 software is now also available online in the AIDA64 Online Store with 2 or 3 years support and maintenance period, which means, users can get the same software for a lower price and longer support.

this info was given to me when i was entering into buildin PC's
I know on a Halogen lightbulb the oil from your hands can cause heat to concentrate in a specific area of the bulb causing it to blow a hole but on a PCB? Never heard anything like it.
I do know that in the slave factory assembly lines plants that they make this stuff in they wear Tyvek suits and latex gloves but yeah, in all my years I've never seen some one damage a board with hand oil. Static leccy yes.
I had a pre-built PC with no standoff's
Fail
I agree with all of you, people think it's so easy to build a PC they don't bother reading any manuals etc. When I first built my PC I read about every manual just incase I killed something, wouldn't want an expensive piece of equipment dieing because you forgot to put a washer in.
I have recommended this article a few times for the beginners out there. I covers pretty much anything anyone would need to know.

Luckily again, taking the board out and booting on a desk everything seems A-OK. Any recommendations on cheap heatsinks ($30 or so) that have a different mounting system? I might just try to get a few nylon washers to raise the bracket above the transistor, but then I'm afraid the screw for the heatsink won't be long enough.
$30 is pretty tight for a cooler. I had a look and

seems OK.
As does

But sub $40 there really isn't anything at all.
These days you short some thing out the PSU goes into a safe mode for a few mins, If you overclock to far your PC just restarts.
I remember the days of OCing and then you see smoke that was the end and time for a new PC.
When the PSU would short out and spark and you be to scared to go near the PC so you go unplug it from the wall instead.

I think you have PCBs mixed up with halogen lightbulbs.
