The little black thing with a gold corner. The one on my mobo says inTel, and generated an EXTREME amount of heat. I was wondering if it would be safe to put a ramsink and some thermal tape on it.

Thanks in advance!

ilikepie, I now see what he/she is talking about.

nvidiaOC: Safe yes, needed.. probably not.

This is the cooling forum, so what the hell, go for it.
