GA-EX58-UD4P northbridge & cooling
Has anyone experienced their boards running hot? I have the stock cpu
fan (not overclocking for now), but used a higher grade paste. Still running high 80s for some apps, I have heard some others had problems, but majority seemed to be fine running stock/no OC. Is the NB heat pipe sufficient enough for cooling? Haven't seen much discussion on it. I have a side case fan blowing right on top of it, but wanted to know if it was worth the trouble to rip it off for something else considering i have to install several fans to rep everything else the heat pipe is connected too... I may OC later on. Trying to stay away from liquid this time around. |
