Issues with NForce 550 Chipset.

[gOtVoltage]

It ran 128c and the HEATSINK FELL OFF FROM HEAT AND WAS RMA'D..Piece of crap was recalled from Fry's 1 month late and it was revisoin 2

Note i also have a MSI K9n-neo with the Platinum bios with 550 chipset runs 280fsb@68cmax On air and its worse than the Gigabyte for Volts and Overclocking..

Notice how i recomended a Tforce or are you not reading the whole tread!Heat sensor was tapped to the heatsink using a MULTIMATE Digatal Dvom!when a Card is covering the heatsink there is no where for heat to go..Plus thier heatsink would work better if it were shorter and no adding to pulling the push pins out!!!!

Also the push pins were not properly seated from the factoctory and pulled out of mobo from the Heat generated that warped the heasink of 550chipset....(Circled in red) the plastic push pins and also the 4pin molex has to be used for stability reasons !
