Concern with Northbridge and CPU heatsinks

[hankbaskett]

I got a Thermalright HR-05 Northbridge heatsink and a Scythe Infinity CPU cooler. The fins on them touch. Should I care?

Thanks

As long as it's not effecting the operation of the fans, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, when the fans start rubing, then you do something about it.

I wouldn't purposely blow the hot air off of either the CPU or the NB onto the fins of the other either. As long as that isn't taking place, you should be fine.
