.........................
I was cleaning my i7 rig yesterday and I stumbled upon a broken CHIPSET COOLER BRACKET!!!!!!!
WTF!!!...
the chipset heatsink has been hanging since a long time.... and that would also explain my high chipset temps (50-55C).....now when I tilt the cooler a bit the temp rises about 78C....then I tilt the cooler back!!!......
...what do i doo????????????????
I dont have any thermal paste...and i have kept my rig horizontal for now....
If I am to order a new cooler for the chip set....do I need to know some rules....like are there any chipset sizes????....like LGA775 vs LGA 1366 are diffrent in cpu heatsink brackets size
and I dont have much choice I don't live in USA so I can maybe order from amazon.com....
as for my other option....I can RMA it....but what good would that be....
.....I dont have much options in my country......Plus did I mention I have no acess to the purchase of thermal paste or past remover.....
Im sooooooooooooo screwed.....help help....what should i do.....
PS,,,CAn some one move this thread to the corect place and do inform me
