need sum advice

[warduck]

I've got a be6-2 mobo. I just remove the greenie/mobo chipset heatsink. I found that the surface of the greenie was rough an there was no thermal grease. I'm told this is normal.

This is my question should I smooth the surface of the greenie an put articsilver on it an put it bak


or


I have a cut down p3 heatsink I made for a vid card. Should i use articsilver epoxy an glue this thing on there as its 3 times the surface area of the greenie.
I could put that on with or with out a fan.

Keep in mind I have a huge alpha cooler for the cpu blowing serious air on the mobo chipset.


what ya think I should do

I would recomend lapping the greenie and using a bit of AS on it but that should be enough, maybe if it is getting quite hot you could stick a 486 fan on it

Yeah, that should work well. But if your not using that other heatsink for anything, more power never hurt ;-)

I say just lap the greenie as best u can, put some A.S. on it and slap it back on...you've got all that air from the alpha to keep the greenie cool

First thing I did when I got my Soyo 6BA+III was to lap that "greenie".

Danm thing was nowhere NEAR flat....and of course, there was no thermal compound on it.

Lap it and put on the A.S.....
