I was playing with my Soyo Dragon, and I decided to play around with my northbridge HSF, because many people have told me that there is no thermal paste under there. So, I am taking the HSF off but then I changed my mind about doin the whole thing and just put it back on. Now that I think about it, i am wonderin if i seated it correctly and as tight against the northbridge as possible. I dont really feel like opening up computer and checking back of mobo (busy lately, finals for high school, bah!), so im asking you guys the question on my mind...
