I just got my NF7-S rev2.0 and i am having sound-crackling problems when using the sound too much and a fellow overclocker told me it was the southbridge overheating....
So i took an old celeron heatsink (the really long kind) and cut it down to fit over my southbridge... theres just one problem!
I need a way of TEMPORARILY fixing the HSF to the southbridge, i do have arctic alumina epoxy, but that will fix it on for good, and i JUST GOT this board, i may wanna RMA it if it is not a hardware problem
so if i put this HSF on, and cool it down and still have the sound crackling problem then i can RMA it...
Today i went out and bought two sided tape in the hopes of temporarily attacking the HSF to the southbridge but that dosent work, the southbridge is too hot for the tape adhesive and slips right off....
what do i do =/
