ok so here are some pics:

asus put some goowey dried bubblegum lookin thermal compound on the north and south bridges...

it was hard to get off, i tired to use isopropl and my peice off old credit card plastic, i got most of it of but there was still some residue.





heres the thermal pad, its almsot like a mesh rubber type of material, wasnt to bad to scrap off, just wiped with isopropl to get all the glue off.




i put ac5 on all the mosfets and north and south bridges hopefully this will keep temps down.

anybody else do this and see any solid results?
