Hello guys, I have the same problem as : http://www.overclock.net/amd-general/589270-northbridge-heatsink-waggling.html

I read that, and checked if mine moved too. It did. Do I have to reapply thermal paste now that I've moved it around?["waggled" it in place, it is not tightly screwed in]

If the temps are still the same, you shouldn't have to. Been moving mine around a lot during the past ~2 years. Still in the 79-81C. Never replaced the thermal paste..

The reason it's in 79-81c is because of a faulty sensor though.

The real temperature is bound to be different.

That's right

Pretty good motherboard, still.

Had a duuh-moment. Well, as I said before. You shouldn't have to replace the TIM. Haven't had any issues at all even if I've wiggled it around. If you take the heat sink off, then you should replace the TIM. Been overclocking x2s, x3s and now the x4. Unlocked the x3.. Memory oc'ing..It's been thru a lot. No problems whatsoever.
