Hi! Welcome! Any chance you can take a picture and post it here? Not sure where you're talking about. Sorry your motherboard died.

Do you have a question? How can we help you?

How did you attach the heatsink to the chip? A line of thought might be that if you glued it on, the glue may not transmit heat thus the chip overheated?

From how I think it was described, they put a heatsink on top of a heatsink(?)....but touching caps? Not sure.

Would love a picture.... the user thanked my post, but didn't post a picture or elaborate/clarify so............... fingers are crossed we hear back.......................

Yep. English not the native language? (NOT a problem.) Hopefully they can help us help them.
