I just took out my northbridge heatsink from my motherboard (stock one) just to clean it a bit, when it struck me. Wouldn't it be practical to put some arctic silver 3 on there before putting it back? theoretically i'd be lowering the temperature a bit more wouldnt i?

Thats always a good idea, its amazing how many Northbrige cooler out there that the manufacturer forgot to even use any thermal paste

be careful not to get any as3 any where else. I read horror stories of people getting them on the little legs and the board not working anymore
