Hi again!
Ok, I am in the middle of my new build, and I would like to place 4 temperature probes for my Scythe Fan/Temp Controller.
I was thinking of placing one on the CPU [for sure], one on the northbridge, one on the southbridge, and one maybe on the RAM or Z77 chip.
Here's my challenge:
I see 3 heatsinks on this MB, but I cannot determine what is what.
Can someone please help me determine which is the northbridge, southbridge, and that other third heatsink I circled? I think the bottom small heatsink is the Z77 chip. Is that also called the Northbridge?
And where would you recommend placing the 4 temperature probes?
Please help me if you can and thanks in advance!
