Even the hottest chipset also around ~10W niah. I think in most cases it would be an issue of:

1) Cacing wires all over the place = airflow issue
2) Improper assembly/mounting of the stock cooler.

Rather than the stock sink itself.

Personally I think changing to a huge a$$ aftermarket cooler is more bling rather than anything....or for quietness.

Besides...hardly anybody ever kill their boards from overcooked chipset.

Sniper, oc won't be affected because of hot chipset?

Sorry, newbie here asking for some knowledge... icon_question.gif

Obviously if taruh Vmch kau kau... = a hotter chipset lar

But you don't need a HR for this... personally I always just replace the stock thermal crap and at most pop a fan that blows around the area kau tim already.

High temps of course is not good but I still that in most cases here, it's an airflow issue.... having lotsa huge towers is not gonna help.

Sure..it brings the heat upwards but what this also means is there's no air going around the surface of the board...to the even hotter area --> PWM.

For those DS3 crowd... pop a cheapo 40mm fan and whack some AS5 kau tim di

For those heatpiped crowd (like P5B-Dlx) ...just remove the glued on coverings already kau tim.
