If and when you take your stock heatsink off, you'll be likely to find that it's only making actual contact with only part of the chipset. This isn't unusual, from what I've seen on more than one brand of MB.

 

As Yashu said, you CAN try remounting it using a good TIM like AS. I find that usually the stock heatsink isn't very flat, so even that won't always work. They either need lapping or replacement, which is easier. That's why I recommended the Zalman passive HS.

 

very insightful.

thank you very much.

 

with this info. retain'd I believe I will be replacing my chipset HS with ether viperjohn's or a zalman HS. I never really understood why artic cooling hasn't done away with there other lines of thermal compounds isn't artic silver 5 teh best and works for everything?
