I have a 970a ud3 board and removed my Northbridge after experiencing enormous temperature rises and crashes while playing BF4 and Simcity(2013). This is a recent development and i have used the same configuration since september 2013 running my fx6300 at 4.0ghz.
After I purchased a new case(corsair 300r) I wanted to re-attach the nb instead of buying a aftermarket nb cooler, but i'm not sure how to approach it :
Do i need to remove the light gray stuff and apply thermal paste in between the black padding(don't know the technical term) or do i need to remove the padding too and put on new paste without the black padding?
