Hey guys,
I ordered my Thermalright HR-05 after I was uncomfortable having the stock Northbridge heatsink my Biostar TForce6100. It made a very disturbing crunching noise when moved and was not on solid.
Test System:
Socket 754 Athlon64 Venice 3200+ @ 2600MHz
Si-97 /w 90mm fan - CPU VCore 1.5v Full load 48c
Biostar TForce6100
1GB OCZ Gold PC4000
Ok so first I removed the board as I had to get at underneath unfortunately...
Some pics first
Now I took off the original stock northbridge heatsink...look what I found...
^ Here is the cause of the crunching. It is missing one of the black buffers and also...there seems to be a hair present? It sure isn't mine.
Now onto the Thermalright HR-05 Northbridge Heatsink
^Boxed very simply, but I do actually like it!
^I like how it is packaged as we can be sure when you buy Thermalright, no damage will occur during shipping. Very good.
