Has anyone installed ither of these before?
I have a Gigabyte 8KNXP Rev 2.0 board and the Zalman NB cooler is installed but it doesn't seem to be incredibly secure. I can wobble it back and forth a little. The Northbridge on my board isn't like the Southbridge. The NB has a small little core like an Athlon XP CPU. I'm using AS5 with it.
I also just installed an AeroCool HT-101 and it seems to sit pretty firmly on the CPU except the little white plastic pegs aren't tall enough so it bends down the metal shims on each corner when i screw the heatsink down. Should i try and get some little plastic washers to stick on there so the shims dont have to bend down to make contact with the existing pegs?
MBM5 says my idle temp is around 35-36C which isn't much lower if that than when i was using the stock Intel heatsink/fan. I havn't overclocked the processor yet so everything is still at stock figures.
