I was wondering if the intel chipset heatsink on the MB thats not mounted correctly would cause the CPU to run higher Temps.

nope not at all...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue and some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... :cool:

flinx how can the chipset (as in north bridge) heatsink effect the temperature of the processor?

I'd say it will run at lower temps cause while the chipset is burning, it wont raise the temps inside the case.

I had a much better usertitle but was caught trying to hack me a better one so I got my current title as a punishment

i was thinking that too...but i don't think it will be enough to effect much

no, just instability. Don't you have the Zalman 7000? If your CPU temp is high, it could be that the HSF is not mounted properly, which is easy to do with that HSF.
