Northbridge and Zalman NB Cooler question.

[FFactory0x]

Yo guys is there a way to pop on a zalman nb cool on my 8rda+ without having to take out mb. I would rather not unhook everything , take out mb and put on cooler. it would be a pain in my arse is ya know what i mean or maybe you dont cause a lot of you love taking the thing out

Its odd, maybe i dont need one. My stock nb heatsink is cool to touch

They have a tiny and crappy thermal pad under that hs. I took it off and put on thermal paste, the hs got much warmer. So much so that I moved it to the southbridge, and put this on.

But I had to remove the mobo from the case to get the hs off. As the pins are plastic you could just pull them out, but they'd probably be un-reusable, and need to be replaced.
