It fits just right to compress the pins enough to allow withdrawl without any damage. Someone else posted that when you have removed NB and Mofset you can heat it up and it will just seperate else just cut it near the mofset. I wouldnt bother replacing the SB with a spirit 11 - it doesnt get that hot and the spirit !! would propbably get in the way of Graphic cards e.g 8800's. I found I had to offset the 40mm fan on it to allow the card install. I am not saying your PSU is a problem just that a good clean and accurate delivery of required voltage is important when overclocking. I thought you stated a 480w PSU in a previous post but I see you have a 600w gamestream - that will be fine.

good to know. My south bridge hasn't really been showing any temp problems. It's been pretty constant around 35-40'C.

Another question, Do I have to do anything to cool the msofets if I change the NB?
