    i grabbed this at a local shop
    but it was kind of an impulse buy kinda deal
    only 10 bucks, so i got it out of curiosity,
    but i failed to notice it only mounts with thermal tape

    does that thermal adhesive generaly hold well,
    or will it fall off in a few days?
    (i cant find any wieght specs on this little fkr)
    not on the package, not on the site....

    thought about sticking it on my northbridge,
    cause it felt slightly warm last time i touched it
    but dont wanna go through pulling my mobo out, etc...
    just to have this fkr fall off in a week
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    if the northbridge is hot you should probably buy a new heatsink...one that mounts and not glue.

    yeah, well, after buying teh router & cables and etc etc....
    i had a spare ten bucks, and the chipset hs/f was there
    at another shop they had one that mounted, but it was 20 bucks
    i can still take this coolermaster back though....
