Since I installed SLi, my northbridge fan has been spinning at full speed making a lot of noise, on inspecting the temps I found that the Northbridge is running at 60 degrees C.
I removed the video cards and had a look around and noticed that one of the cards virtually sits on the NB fan and installing the card causes the NB fan to move around a lot. On inspecting the NB fan it seems very loose - i can twist it slightly left to right and it rocks up and down on the chip.
I did think about taking it off and applying normal Arctic Silver thermal paste (not the glue stuff) but how do you get the NB fan off ??
Any suggestions ?
