Greetings all.
I'm just barely starting to get into overclocking once again now that I've finally got a decent enough setup to do it with.
Currently I'm running an XP1700+ "B" at 166x12 stable at default voltage (1.6v) on my new ASUS A7N8X deluxe motherboard - rev 1.04.
Would post at 190FSB, but lock up in windows. Then hard drive wasn't found, had to reset to default (133FSB). Come to find out the south bridge was way too hot, as there is no cooling on it whatsoever (no heatsink, nothing). Now I got a sweet copper cooler that I want to use, but can't as it uses mounting brackets, and the southbridge doesn't have mounting holes around it I'm not sure how to do it. I've got no thermal pad that's adhesive so it will stick.
However I was told by a gentlemen working at a local computer store that liquid nails would work for what I want. He stated that it is great for heat transfer and will stick the cooler to the southbridge and it will stay.
What do the ladies and gentleman of this forum think?
Should I risk using liquid nails (super glue) to adhere the heatsink to the chip, or try to find a cheap thermal adhesive pad??
thanks to all that reply.
