DEZMOND, how easy was it to get the existing chipset cooler off?

The one on A.N.Other Nforce 2 board I have is epoxied on :/

[DEZMOND]

I left the stock heatsink on the north bridge, i put one on the south bridge. Next time your case is open touch the south bridge, it gets very hot,there are 2 holes in the board already, i used a zalman with the thermal epoxy and the push pins.Check out the pic here, they got a cooler on the test board http://anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1759&p=17

hmmm just touched mine, its cold.... weird...

[Holst]

thats ok

Did you have any problems with the hot SB or did you add the cooler as a precatutionary measure.

Ive noticed mine gets a little warm but i havent bothered to add any cooling.
The sample boards came with a SB cooler but it was found to be unnecicary and isnt sed on the production boards.

I mostly put it on for precautionary reasons, but i have noticed a stability gain at high fsb.
