i tried putting toothpaste on a plastic just above the cpu casing. it became hard just like a gum. does this thing really work just like a thermal paste?

I am no expert but usally if somthing is not designed to do something it probally won'tsuck it and see (not the toothpaste) ONLY if you are prepaired to loose an expensive part of your computer

yes, if the glue can be removed easily. otherwise, dont force to remove the heatsink if it wont budge or it will be....

I just figured I would throw my 2 cents in. I was haveing alot of problems with the k7s5a (after the cpu fan died and of corse I replaced the fan). Every time I tryed to play max payne 2 it would...

Yep. I'll confirm that. can't get to boot my 2100+ Tbred B with my friend's PC2700 ram to boot (133/166, which translates to stock speeds), even with slowest timings. Kinda pissed, I know my 2100+...

I have a K7S5A version 3.0 and have not modded the chipset yet. I am able to oc the FSB to 147 without problems. I changed from DDR 2100 to DDR 2700 and now it will go to 166 with CPUFSB (166 x 11.5 =...

I can't believe when I see this chipset mod guide.It seems making such a big difference.My system is pretty hot (comparing to other users here) and I am using 2 x PC-133 SD RAM. The system only...

ive done this. first i cleaned the chipset and then lapped the original heatsink. put some splat of grease, put 4 drops of glue on corners, then replace the heatsink. but i only got 1c lower i mean i...

Quote:but i only got 1c lowerThe system and CPU temperature will not be affected by the chipset heatsink fix. What it does is lowering the temperature of the SiS735 chip. The SiS735 has no onboard...

I also have a 110 mhz morgan core duron, I lowered my multiplier to 9, with a fsb of 133, resulting in a totally stable 1200mhz. haven't done the chipset mod though it sounds like a good idea

Before doing the chipset heatsink mod my PC was crashing after a few seconds in any game, after the mod it became rock stable and only had some weird errors in prime95. (which went away when I...

I did the chipset mod but without putting any hatskin back.Before my cpu worked only with 107(it's a arga 950athlon) now it works at 110.I have 128 sdram so at the moment I dont think that no hatskin...

I should have done this a long time ago. I just got done trying to fix another board to replace this one because of the 133/133 problem, and figured "What the hell, I'll try the chipset heatsink mod...

I took the heatsink off mine and removed the 'gold' anodizing with a glass bead blaster, then I used a metal file to flatten the bottom face for best contact with the chip. Then I used thermal paste...
