Asus P5B Deluxe Chipsets Temps

[drac89]

Hi, i have recently bought this mobo and the first i did was to remove the heatsinks of the chipsets and replace the paste for AS5. I think i did it good because the paste that comes with the motherboard is worse than AS5 isnt it? so the temps will go down a little. I want to know ur temps of the northbirdge and the southbridge(if theres a sensor) to have a reference because i dont have the memories yet and i didnt turn it on. Thanks for your time guys.
PD: Tell me if you also changed the paste like me or u left the one that came with the board

erm AS5 isnt adhesive....

what on earth were you thinking ?

it doesn't need to be adhesive!! as5 is fine for nb chipset.it uses the spring clips to hold it in place same as south bridge.
and drac89 mine idles @ 29 after gaming or priming for a while it gets to about 32, i,ve never seen it higher than that.

running E6600 @ 445FSB with NBvolt @ 1.55V heats the NB to ~41-45C (according to BIOS) on my P5B-Deluxe (ASceramique on NB)
