I just got back finally my 2nd RMA'd board today and will start messing with it again, but wanted to get your thoughts on my NB cooling (ASUS 4 Acetal WB).
With my 1st board I took all the stock cooling off and used some Enzotech's for the Mosfet and the SB and the WB for the NB.
It was just a pain IMO to deal with the additional items (not really, but just being lazy) and the fact the the NB chip is so small for the WB and the little resistors (chips) whatever around the chipset don't get any contact. So I am thinking for laziness and maybe there is some benefit, but I want to put the block ontop of the stock NB and zip tie it to it.I think it will cool the whole unit somewhat nicely.
The question I have is do I need to put any sort of thermal grease or pad to put them together? Since the Asus emblem is a little lower I was thinking about putting a piece of thermal pad to at least make it a little more level, but beyond that did not know if there would be a conductivity potential with this setup.
Thoughts?
