P4P800 Deluxe chipset heatsink

[Navid]

P4 2.6C no overclocking.

The chipset heatsink seems to be stuck to the chipset with
a kind of adhesive! So, after removing the clips, it does not
come off.

Is this the best way to cool it down?
Or is it better to clean off the adhesive and put some thermal
compound (arctic silver) instead?

When I monitor the temperature with PC probe or motherboard
monitor, at idle, the motherboard temperature is reported to be
higher than that of the CPU. Is this normal?

It is called MB temperature in the PC probe and Case temperature
in the Motherboard monitor. Is this the chipset temperature?

Thanks,

Navid

Yes. Beause a P4 outputs a **** of a lot of heat, and guess where that heat
ends up? In the case (until it is exhausted out the back) and that's what
makes the motherboard temperature so high.

If you were here with me, you would be able to see me belching the word
'bollocks' at you right now...

My advice would be to resist re-engineering your motherboard. You might also
consider dumping PC Probe and using either motherboard monitor or speedfan.
Why not buy your mother a bunch of flowers rather than buying a new piece of
jewellery for your motherboard?

Love and peace to you all.

I mean the chipset also gets hot on its own, but the cooling of it is much
less efficient when the P4 is dissipating huge amounts of heat right next to
it.

My advice is this! WATER COOLING. i put a koolance system together in the
exact same amount of time as a regular case. and i put a cpu cooler, chipset
cooler, vidio cooler running out of the same 2 pumps . the cpu is a 3.0 800
30% overclocked at over 4ghz and all temps are 84 deg f all day long with no
fan noise.AND NO THERE IS NO POSIBILTY OF A WATER LEAKS BIG WIVES TALE!
