Well I have the Abit Nf7-S and it has one hot south bridge apparently. I have an active north bridge cooler and it still heats up. How I am noticing this is the sound in the left ear start to go bad and fuzzy then just spurts fuzz after some gaming. After I exit the game and say play an mp3 it gradually goes away.
The 1st heatsink I had on it was just a passive heatsink. I used the thermal tape that came with it. Later I noticed this fuzzing after about 1.5 hours of sound intensive apps. So I put the north bridge on it. (Lapped it, applied Ceramique and super glued the edges) Now I might say it heats up faster. RAA!!
I am pretty sure this is caused by improper contact. Perhaps the super glue it drying to fast and holding the sink away from the chip just enough. Well I am going to get some arctic alumina and use that instead.
I need the adhesive anyways for my mofset heatsink that I am making (stock amd cooler). I don’t want it to be permanent so is the proper procedure just to mix normal Ceramique with Alumina at 50-50? Or should I go with as3 adhesive and normal as3. I have both normal but no adhesives. Is the ratio 50 50 or something else?
How safe is it to sand away at the chips themselves? I need to get that super glue off. Perhaps only sand until the words come off the chips and then a little past that? Thx for reading my blurb
