P5N-E SLI Southbridge heatsink?
Has anyone found it helpful to install a chipset cooler on the
Southbridge chip? Obviously, ASUS does not think it is necessary except they provide holes on the mainboard to mount a heatsink. Is this only for overclocking? Will a passive Northbridge aluminum chipset cooler work in this application? |

P5N-E SLI Southbridge heatsink?
Dunno if it's helpful, but on mine, after I gave it the finger test, I
immediately stuck a small passive heatsink on it. It can't hurt. Jack R "AJ" wrote in message oups.com... Has anyone found it helpful to install a chipset cooler on the Southbridge chip?
