Hey guys, my northbridge fan began to die on my asus a8n sli se so I've ordrered a Zalman passive cooler to replace it, It's the Blue one that isn't the flower design, I've taken off the old fan and cleared off all the thermal grease with some tissue paper. The only question is whether or not I should leave the black square insulation bit on top of the northbridge or just place the new heatsink straight on top?
there's bits of circuity on top that are covered by the black tape which is what makes me think I should leave it on, but what sort of glue could i use to reattach it to the heatsink (I had to take it off anyway as there was grease smeared haphazardly over it)
Anyway help appreciated.
