Putting a HS on the South Bridge - worth it?
Hi all
I have a spare Zalman NB HS and some thermal adhesive, is there any point in mounting this on the SB of a GA-7N400 Pro or does the SB not require cooling (well Gigabyte etc. obviously don't feel the need)?

I can't hurt to do it, i personally put a Vantec heatsink on the Southbridge with some Artic Silver III. How heavy is that heatsink?, maybe a thermal pad might secure it better as there are no clips to hold the heatsink in place. It's not gonna hurt that for sure. |
