NB Heatsink..?

whats the NB Heatsink?

 

[smileygladhands]

Northbridge I would assume.

is that the chip that comes standard on boards with a heatsink or a fan on it ( a mini one)?

You don't technically have an NB on an AMD64 system...the ondie memory controller did away with that. You have a chipset heatsink and yeah thats the small one

hmm... cuz i was lookin at some TIPS and TRICKS with the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (cuz i ordered it the other day for my 3200+ Winchester).. and they were sayin somethin about takin the NB Heatsink off - and put some fresh thermal compound on it.. and i wasnt sure what that NB Heatsink is..?

well like I said, it's the only small little block that's on the board altogether...right near the graphics slot I believe it is on that board.
